Snapshots

🥎 UO softball and baseball teams see their season come to an end

It was a long weekend for the men’s baseball and women’s softball teams as they both saw their seasons come to an end. The men’s squad had no shortage of controversy over a play at the plate, which only made the loss that much tougher to swallow. On the women’s side, they fell 4-1 to last year’s national champion, Oklahoma.

🤧 Pollen counts hit a season high

Pollen levels in the Eugene area hit their highest mark so far this season with a count of 890 (anything over 200 is considered high). So if you need me anytime over the next few days, I’ll likely be hiding inside, surrounded by packages of allergy meds.

Business Happenings

🍺 Anniversary week at A Beer Club: Local beer spot A Beer Club is celebrating their 3rd anniversary with a lineup of events happening all week long. These include collaboration releases, bottle shares, tastings, and even ice cream floats. So check out the full schedule here and swing on by to say congrats.

🎸 10-year anniversary kickoff at the Beergarden: Not to be outdone, Beergarden is kicking off their 10-year anniversary celebration on Thursday.

🍜 Pho King is no more: Folks in search of a tasty Bahn Mi or bowl of Pho will have to find a new favorite spot as Pho King on E 5th Ave has allegedly closed its doors for good. No word yet on what may be moving in next.
