There’s hardly anything I enjoy more than celebrating the accomplishments and aspirations of local people. Here are some recent examples:

As well connected as the Chinook Observer is to local people, we don’t always immediately notice every exciting new business development. If you know of something, please share your ideas with me by writing editor@chinookobserver.com.

Thanks as always for your interest in local news. I appreciate your support.
