Sutherlin residents sang along and gathered together in the town’s Central Park on Thursday night for an evening of country throwbacks as Honky Tonk Circus performed for the second show of Music Off Central.

The performance came from Honky Tonk Circus, a country group focused on the sounds of the genres biggest 90’s hits like Garth Brooks, Toby Keith and Shania Twain. At the front of the group is Nashville-based songwriter Jeremy McComb, who was nominated for the 2025 British CMA awards International Single of the Year for his song “Laying Low.”

It’s a lineup designed to bring up a nostalgia for days gone by and a chance to experience what was loved in days past. For McComb, it was a fitting soundtrack to how he felt pulling into Sutherlin, a town not dissimilar from his own childhood home.

“I grew up in North Idaho originally, so it kind of feels like you’re coming home,” McComb said. “Coming back to these types of towns, you just don’t see them like this anymore...I’ve never been to Sutherlin. You pull in and it’s like, man, this is what my town felt like when I was a kid. People were waving at each other when we drove by. The restaurants are mom-and-pop and there’s a drugstore and a hardware store. It’s like all those things that you got to grow up with.”

Old hits and familiar favorites are a commonality in this year’s Music Off Central lineup, with several bands themed around throwbacks and tributes. According to event organizer Dan Bartram, that’s just how the community likes it.

“We did a poll with our people in the community and we asked ‘what do you want to hear?’ and it was always like ‘just bring in songs we know, we can sing to, we can dance to and that we know the words to,’ and that’s what we did,” Bartram said.

Following the week at the Miss Oregon Scholarship Program's pageant in Seaside, Miss Umpqua Valley's Teen Addison Reneau said she felt like she gave each phase of the competition her very best.

But her favorite part was bonding with her fellow local titleholders and forming connections with the other women representing Oregon through local ambassador titles.

"Miss Douglas County, Miss Umpqua Valley, Miss Douglas County's Teen and myself all stayed together in an AirBnB together, and it was really fun to bond together, especially because we're really close already because we spend a lot of time together," Reneau said.

"After each night of the pageant in the prelims, we got to sit down and talk, and just debrief what happened, and it's really fun to like have someone to lean on when the competition's over, and someone to talk to about it."

Fireworks have been integral components of celebrations for centuries. These pyrotechnics originated in ancient China, with their earliest forms thought to be made from bamboo stalks thrown into a fire. Fireworks ultimately evolved into gunpowder-filled paper tubes. Modern fireworks still largely use traditional gunpowder as well as additional ingredients like aluminum and iron to create flashes, bangs and sparks. Additional elements are blended to create the colors that make for vivid fireworks displays.

Fireworks can be a wonder to behold, but there is no denying that shooting them off can be dangerous business. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission reports that eight deaths and an estimated 9,700 injuries involving fireworks occurred in 2023. Of the eight deaths, five were associated with misuse of fireworks and two with a device malfunction. Fireworks injuries increased between 2008 and 2023, which underscores the importance of fireworks safety.

Tickets to Umpqua Actors Community Theatre’s production of “Frozen the Musical” are now on sale.

A synopsis said in the kingdom of Arendelle, Princesses Anna and Elsa grow sheltered inside their castle, isolated from the world and increasingly distant from each other. When Elsa is crowned queen, the magical powers she tries to conceal take control and she flees into the mountains. As a ferocious winter descends on Arendelle, Anna sets off on an epic journey to find Elsa and bring her home – with the help of a hardworking ice harvester Kristoff, his local reindeer Sven, and a happy-go-lucky snowman named Olaf.

Performances will run from July 23rd through August 2nd. Tickets are $22 for adults and $17 for children.
