REMEMBRANCE, REFLECTION, AND REVITALIZATION This week provides opportunity for remembrance, reflection, and revitalization. On Monday, November 25, 2024, we took time to remember those who lost their lives in service to Coos Bay 22 years ago: Fire Captain Randy Carpenter and Volunteer Firefighters Chuck Hanners and Jeff Common. These men gave their time and dedication, ultimately sacrificing their lives, to ensure the safety of this community; their passing will be with this community, and the larger fire community across the State, for generations still to come. This time of remembrance opens into reflection for what we all have to be thankful for, timely, as we all gather to celebrate and enjoy Thanksgiving with our family and friends. Throughout the community, you can see ways in which we take care of each other, through all of the organizations stepping forward with opportunities to share in a Thanksgiving meal. Whether you are accessing a Thanksgiving meal from one of these organizations or helping to support these organizations through volunteering or providing financial support or donations of goods, this connects the community together in ways that are long lasting. Be sure to take time to appreciate those in your circle and those they connect with over the coming holiday months. And finally, this week brings a time for each of us to revitalize our community through shopping local. The Shop Small initiative, which is driven across the nation in most communities, helps us each do our part to ensure the vibrancy and fiscal health of our hometown. On Saturday, our local businesses are ready to welcome you with open doors and unique gifts for everyone on your list. Let's support our community and make this holiday season extra special! These connections are what make Coos Bay great and supporting our small businesses is what ensures a thriving tomorrow. I wish you all a happy Thanksgiving gathering, full of family and friends, food and laughter, creating lasting memories. -Joe Benetti, Mayor of Coos Bay

BRING THE FAMILY TO THE OREGON COAST HISTORICAL RAILWAY MUSEUM DURING THE HOLIDAYS We are proud to provide the colorful Christmas season’s "Welcome to Coos Bay" light display to the community each year. With only a few board members/full-time volunteers at the Oregon Coast Historical Railway (OCHR) Museum, we rely heavily on the generous donation of time and effort from many in our community to get our decorations up and lit. Each year, we begin the decorating in late October and early November. Lights go on beginning Thanksgiving Day. Late season weather can sometimes be wet, windy, and challenging, but with our volunteers, the show must/can go on. The display features lighted Elves atop each of the cars, stuffed "Peanuts" characters and inside lights in every window, and thousands of beautiful LED lights on all the railcars, Engine 104, and the fences and shrubbery. In addition to our museum "full-timers" that include Nancy, Ethan, Lori, Marian, Tom, Tim, George, and Steve, we totally appreciate the MHS Key Club, MHS Honor Society students with leaders Brad and Stacy Gulseth, as well as the always-smiling missionaries from the Coos Bay LDS Church. Please make plans to attend (with as many kids as you can bring) the showing of Polar Express at the Egyptian Theater on Friday evening, December 13 at 6:15 p.m. Each year, Tracy and Triena of Art Signs® in Coos Bay donate to provide a showing for the enjoyment of kids of all ages. Come early to hear Lee Littlefield (MHS Class of '66) play Christmas music on the mighty Wurlitzer pipe organ and collect your Gold Ticket and Polar Express Christmas bell as you leave. We are open 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. every Wednesday and Saturday, year-round, rain or shine. We are located at 766 South 1st Street in Coos Bay.
