Up, up, up – or so goes Salem’s temperature in the coming days. On Wednesday, we could be bumping up against 100 degrees, or so says the forecast from the National Weather Service.

Here’s some of the local news from the team at Salem Reporter. Remember, you can see all of our stories anytime you want on our website.

Have an event to tell the community about?

Get your event in front of Salem. Who can post to our Events Calendar? Just about anyone. We ask that you provide a fair description of the event and the cost, if any. Government agencies can – and should – list their public meetings. Nonprofits can list fundraising events open to the community. And clubs and groups can enter events that are open to the public.

In other words, if it’s happening, and it’s public, you can list. There is no cost for our base listing and you have options to buy even more attention: SUBMIT EVENT
