It’s another busy weekend here in Cottage Grove! There are lots of events going on if you need something to do, or you can just head out to your favorite park, river or lake spot, or take a hike with the family.
Saturday, from 8am until dark, you can visit the South Lane Cruisers Car Show at Coiner Park.
If you just can’t get enough of the cars, check out the South Lane Cruise from 6-8pm, followed by a dance from 8:30-11:30 featuring the Hi-Fi Ramblers and the ’56 Pontiac Band.
When you are done looking at the cars, or before you make it there, check out the 3rd Annual Town & Country Garden Tour from 8am – 3pm. This event is a fundraiser for South Lane Mental Health and tickets are $12 for adults and $5 for children age 2-12.
On Saturday afternoon, from noon until 4pm, taste a variety of chili and vote for your favorite at the Chili Cook-off in Trailhead Park.
If you need something to do next week, do your produce shopping at the Grower’s Market at Coiner Park from 4-8pm and check out the Concert in the Park to hear “Swamp Rock” by Etouffee starting at 6:30.
And if you need to escape from the heat, don’t forget to check out all of the great weekly events for kids of all ages at the Cottage Grove Public Library. From story time, to sing-alongs, to movies, they’ve got something for everyone.
Here’s a little something that you might see if you do head outside into the heat this weekend. This photograph was captured last summer on Bohemia Mountain.
