Your Friday evening update on Salem news

Salem Reporter logo

Good evening, Salem.

Salem is under a wind advisory until 1 a.m. Saturday. The National Weather Service’s Portland office warns, “Gusty winds could blow around unsecured objects. Tree limbs could be blown down and a few power outages may result.”

If you’re looking for an indoor activity, tonight is the premiere for local filmmaker Chuck Magee’s feature-length film “Cocaine Snorting Crabs From Outer Space,” showing at the Grand at 7 p.m. Our article from earlier this week is below.

And if the fall weather has you down, this is a good weekend to pick up a furry friend. The Oregon Humane Society is offering half price kitten adoptions this weekend only at its Salem campus, 4246 Turner Rd. S. (open daily 10 a.m.-7 p.m.) and at Meow Town at the Pet Smart on Northeast Lancaster Drive. View cats and schedule an adoption appointment here.

Here’s some news to close out your week. Catch all Salem Reporter’s stories anytime on our website.
