The Latest Stories For You From Salem Reporter
Good morning, Salem.
Tomorrow, the City of Salem is bringing activities and the chance to get behind the wheel of some heavy machinery to Riverfront Park.
Salem Service Day, an annual event previously called Public Works Day, aims to teach the community about city services through family-friendly fun.
City trucks will be parked for families to climb into for photos, and there will be robot and drone demonstrations. There will also be a bounce house and free hot dogs.
The event will be Thursday, June 15, at Riverfront Park, 200 Water St. N.E., from 11 a.m. – 2 p.m.
Kids will need their parents or guardians to sign a waiver before climbing into a vehicle or using the bounce house. Waivers will be available at the park.
Marion-Polk Food Share will also be collecting non-perishable food at the event.
For more information, see the City of Salem’s Facebook post.
Now, here are some of our latest reports. You can find more on our website.

Try Salem Reporter’s Obituary Service
Our digital obituary service is now available to anyone. It’s easy to use, more generous with space and photos than most, and priced to be affordable.
We have guidelines and an online form to use, but here are the basics:
*Obituary text has no limit (but no book-length submissions, please).
*Up to five photos can be loaded to share – not just one.
*Obituaries first appear in our obituary section, then in a summary of the week’s obituaries. That summary then appears on our Facebook and Twitter channels.
*The price is a flat $100.
