Roseburg Optimist Club will have a 5K Zombie Run fundraising event this fall. An Optimist release said it will take place on Saturday, October 17th in Roseburg’s Stewart Park. Check-in time is 8:00 a.m. with the race starting at 9:00 a.m. Runners will endure the event, running through a zombie-invested course while they evaluate their speed, endurance and strength trying to avoid ravenous zombies! Runners will be given flags to wear on one side of their waist, like flag football. The flags represent their health. Zombies will try to steal those flags throughout the course. The 5K race is not recommended for children underage six. However, parents with strollers or dogs on leashes are welcome. All participants will receive a free 5K Zombie Run T-shirt. A commemorative finisher medallion, race bib and snacks will be provided by Thrive Umpqua. Commemorative medallions will be for health races and those infected racers. Infected racers are those who have lost their flags to a zombie during the race. Optimist organizer Val Gordon said the 5K Zombie Run was founded to celebrate happiness, healthiness and friendship. Gordon said all proceeds raised will support the Optimist Club’s youth programs, including Chalk Art in the Park, school snack packs, school hygiene kits, and the club’s Safety Day Program for schools.

Yoga in the Park, a longstanding City of Roseburg Parks and Recreation program now in its fourteenth year, returns to Stewart Park this summer. The free program offers community members an accessible way to enjoy movement, mindfulness, and time outdoors. The 2026 program takes place every Saturday- from July 11 through August 29, from 10 to 11 a.m., in the grassy area beside the Half Shell at Stewart Park. Participants are invited to bring a mat or blanket, a water bottle, and a willingness to start the weekend with fresh air and gentle movement. The program began in 2012, when the City of Roseburg and Body Balance Yoga Center partnered to bring a free recreation opportunity to Stewart Park. The idea was simple but powerful: combine yoga with one of Roseburg’s most peaceful outdoor settings. The park’s open green space, nearby river, and natural surroundings provide an ideal backdrop for a practice focused on breathing, balance, and relaxation.

SUTHERLIN — Dakota Mallory said the Sutherlin Stampede on Saturday was his first time competing in the Sutherlin Rodeo Arena. But he was riding a bull he had met before, so he was ready for a rematch. The Sutherlin Stampede hosted the Coastal Farm and Ranch Challenge of Champions Tour (CCT) for Stop #9 on Saturday, with over 20 bullriders competing for more season points. CCT Director Jason Maddox called the event a hometown event, considering the CCT calls Southern Oregon its home base. Mallory said this is not his first time joining in the Challenge of Champions Tour, but unfortunately his luck still hasn't been great so far in 2026. In CCT standings, he's sitting at tied for 30st place with Levi Grey of Dairy, both having scored 86 points so far. He just finished his first year competing at the professional level in the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA), which he said features a very different caliber bull from lower levels of competition. "You get nice rider-friendly bulls in the Challenge of Champions, it's like a step closer from an amateur deal," Mallory explained. "But then you got the pro show where you got bigger caliber of people that have been in like the NFR (National Finals Rodeo)." His first year of pro riding was a rough up-and-down season, he said, but it was fun. He got into the rodeo scene from watching it on TV and knowing his father rode a little bit, including a few times in collegiate competition. In the Challenge of Champion Tour on Saturday, Daniel Espinoza and Garrett "Money" Crist tied for the top score with 85 points each. Chosen as top performer by the judges, Espinoza attempted a ride on the money bull to cap the event off but was unsuccessful. For More Information Please Visit www.nrtoday.com

On July 2, Round Table Pizza officially soft-opened for business at 2040 NW Stewart Parkway in Roseburg, returning to the town after the closure of The Clubhouse by Round Table Pizza in July 2025. Now, the restaurant is preparing for its grand opening on July 31. The new Round Table Pizza features pizza, wings, salads and sandwiches, along with desserts like a giant oven-baked cookie, but bears a rebranded design, with a new black-and-white logo instead of the previous location’s multicolored sign. It is ran by a 21-person crew led by general manager Joshua Kuntz, and also features a game room with arcade games and prize machines. For Kuntz, running a pizza restaurant is nothing unfamiliar, as his family was once in the business as well. He said leading Round Table Pizza is a chance to bring the community the kind of homey, friendly service he saw his relatives provide while growing up. “I grew up in a pizza restaurant. My grandma and grandpa were the ones who built the Pizza Palace,” Kuntz said. “I was raised in the parlor and the sense of community was amazing. I want to bring that here. I want to embrace everybody and actually have them come in and feel like they’re at home. A nice, comfortable feel.” For more information please visit www.nrtoday.con

On Saturday, over 40 years of annual automotive tradition came to a head across the greater Roseburg area as motorheads took part in a slew of Graffiti Weekend events. The day kicked off with the 43rd Annual Stray Angels Show-n-Shine at Melrose Vineyards, where over 300 cars of varying makes, models and years came out to compete for plaques and trophies. Among the competitors was Brookings resident Ken Miller, who brought a sky-blue 1963 Ford Galaxie. To him, car culture is about more than just competition; It's a chance to relive glory days. "To drive an old car is nice, but when you're driving the same hood ornaments, the same dashboard, drive and drum, the same roads you drove 50 years ago, it's a time machine," Miller said. "When I'm driving in this car, I feel younger." For More information please visit www.nrtoday.com

In a Wednesday meeting, the Douglas County Board of Commissioners approved a $150,000 grant agreement which supports a project aiming to establish a theme park in the Winston area. Through the agreement, the county shall contribute up to $150,000 from the industrial development fund to Timberland Partners LLC. The funds will help cover start-up costs for the park. According to Douglas County Commissioner Chris Boice, the project work is in conjunction with the Cow Creek Band of Umpqua Tribe of Indians, with the grant supporting a feasibility study for potential property. The park is planned to have a timber theme. "They have approached the tribe about a partnership. The tribe has invested some money in this and it's, I think, a good opportunity for the county if it can come to fruition," Boice said. According to a funding request letter written to Boice by Mark Thomas and David Loveall, the funds were sought to cover the completion of an operating model, master plan and capital stack to fund building the park, as well as for securing a trademark for the park, referred to in the letter as the Timber~Lands theme park.

With the American Legion baseball regular season winding down, the Roseburg Dr. Stewart's have a slim margin for error on their journey to reach the Oregon AAA Legion state tournament at the end of July. Clinging to a slight edge for the final tournament berth out of Area 4, the Docs helped their own cause with an 8-7 win over the Medford Mustangs in Game 2 of a league doubleheader Wednesday night at Champion Car Wash Field. "That was big," Dr. Stewart's coach Cody Walton said. "Obviously, that was definitely an emotional game. We took some water on the boat a little early and they responded. So, I was super proud to see that and not giving up and hung in there." Docs catcher Mason Young tagged out Mason Devry at home plate for the final out of the nightcap, giving Roseburg a comeback win after dropping the opener 7-2.

Children couldn’t even wait for the ribbon to be cut to start climbing up, sliding down and running through Roseburg’s new Brown Park expansion, which was opened to the public on Wednesday afternoon. The new expansion, located at the corner of West Harvard Avenue and West Francis Street, features a brand new turfed playground, complete with slides, a merry-go-round, climbing walls, a seesaw and more, as well as a new parking lot ADA accessible parking and walkways. According to Roseburg Parks & Recreation program manager Val Ligon, the expansion is nearly 20 years in there making, first identified in a master plan back in 2008. The ball got rolling on the project in mid-2023, when Amy LaGrander, daughter of former Oregon State Attorney General and Supreme Court justice George M. Brown, reached out to move forward with selling the property for the expansion. A major step forward for the expansion’s progression was achieved in September 2023, when the Trincheros family purchased the property for $150,000 and donated it to the city, covering the cost for them. A 2024 grant worth over $667,000 from the Oregon State Parks’ local government Grant Program pushed it even further. For More Information Please Visit www.nrtoday.com

DFPA Public Information Officer Rachel Pope said prescribed pasture burns are conducted to improve grazing lands for livestock, enhance wildlife habitat, and control noxious weeds, brush, insects, and plant diseases. Pope said historically, local landowners have conducted approximately 10,000 acres of prescribed burning annually throughout Douglas County to improve pasturelands and maintain healthy landscapes. These burns also play an important role in wildfire prevention by reducing the buildup of grass, brush and other combustible vegetation. Fire officials note that many wildfires have been more easily contained in areas where prescribed burning has been conducted regularly. Pope said to ensure public and firefighter safety, prescribed burns are carefully planned and conducted only after fire trails have been established, adequate personnel and fire suppression equipment are in place, and weather conditions are favorable. Burns are scheduled only when fire behavior and atmospheric conditions are expected to minimize smoke impacts on nearby communities by directing smoke away from larger populated areas.
