 Good morning, Quincy. Today is Thursday, January 15th, 2026. This is your daily local update for Quincy George Winchester, and Crescent Bar area if it matters to our community, we're talking about it here. In the next few minutes, we're gonna cover today's weather, what's happening around town, school, sports, and activities.

School, city council, police, fire churches, and other local business news. Whether you're heading to work, getting kids out the door or just easing into your day, we're here to help you stay connected to what's happening in our community. So grab a cup of coffee, get ready for your day, and let's get started with the weather forecast.

Today we got areas of fog with reduced visibility this morning. Otherwise, it's mostly cloudy high in the low forties today. Hey, be sure and give yourself just that extra few minutes this morning to account for the likelihood of frost on your windshield. I talked about it yesterday. And at the time I recorded the episode, there was no frost.

By the time the episode distributed, there was frost on everything. So be sure, give yourself those extra few minutes. You know how that likes to sneak up on us here in the winter in Quincy, and we don't want you late for work or anything like that. So give yourself that extra cushion. Save yourself a little bit of stress, and be ready to defrost your car this morning.

And reasons to celebrate today is National Bagel Day. I don't know about you, but that's always a reason to celebrate because my wife loves bagels and so do my daughter. So today is National Bagel Day. Way better than hot past sandwich Day. At least they got something good. It's also National Strawberry Ice Cream Day and National Hat Day, and for all of us who like to wear hats, that's a good sign.

I'm not sure who comes up with these, but hey, there's always a reason to celebrate and maybe this one will give you something to do, right? Nothing else. National Strawberry Ice Cream Day, how could you go wrong with that? In weekly events, we've got the City of Quincy's rec department is happy to announce their player size program is happening today.

We've been talking about it this week. We try and warn you guys ahead of time, but that is today. Mom's eight 30 to 10 30. Or you know what dads, you can bring your kids too, right? Because we all know stay at home dads or dads who are working on their schedule. So guess what? This is for all the parents of preschool age children.

Who are looking for something to do safe inside with their kids today to give their kids someone to play with. So check it out, rec apartment building near downtown, and go. Let your kid be social and play in a safe environment for a little while today. Connect with other parents. It's a great way to start your morning.

Today at the senior center, they have an exercise class at 1:00 PM. Peanut Nle at 3:00 PM and Mexican train at 6:30 PM after dinner. And I dunno what that is, but I am just in awe at how much is going on at our senior center guys. I know a lot of seniors who go there regularly and they must be doing great things.

So we're really excited to share that news with you now. Of course, it wouldn't be a good morning without our horribly bad dad jokes. So what do you give a thirsty crocodile? A Gatorade

happening around town this week. We've got the Quincy Rec Department also hosting A DYI, water colored cars classed tonight from six 30 to 8:00 PM If you wanna get watercolor or chance and make your own cards, you have to take 'em home with you and you don't even have to clean up the mess. Go make some cards and bond tonight.

That's a great opportunity. Also starting tomorrow. Adult drop in volleyball, open gym five 30 to seven 30 at the Monument Elementary Gym. Guys, if it's what it sounds like, hey, if you like to play volleyball, I used to do this kind of thing with my dad years ago when I was a kid, and it was a great bonding experience.

I was in junior high. My dad was obviously an adult and we went to an open volleyball gym once a week and played and just had a great time together. So guys, check that out. Adult volleyball, open gym. We all spend way, way, way too much time sitting in chairs these days and staring at screens. So go get your active on tonight, or sorry tomorrow and have some fun.

Quincy Valley wrestling is holding an in-person wrestl registration for their wrestling program for kids. Great K through on Friday, January 23rd from 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM We missed this announcement earlier this week. Uh, they've already had one open enrollment, but they still have two more I believe as of this message.

So if you're interested in getting your kids started in wrestling, go to the Quincy Middle School wrestling room behind the Behind the school. January 23rd from 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM to sign up for this program. Practices to start January 26th with a final day of registration from January 30th. If your kid is interested in finding out what wrestling is about and getting a footing under them, maybe getting started before they get into the school sports, this is a program for your kid to come learn and get involved with wrestling for the first time and tomorrow night.

Monkey and Round pizza. They've got live music. They're hosting a fundraiser and raffle with prizes. And guys, if you haven't been there, they've got a pool table these days. Go check it out. Listen to some live music, help raise some money. Seth Malone is performing and have a whole lot of fun with some great pizza.

Now, I had a thought the other day 'cause I'm going back through my movie collection, uh, with my daughters as they get to an age where they can watch certain things. I'm going back and revisiting some old movies I love and one of them was Evan Almighty and I was watching Evan Almighty the other day and he talks about a acts of random kindness, which just entirely inspired me.

So Quincy, I want to challenge you. Today, do something nice for someone just because you can't smile at people. Use please and thank you. Buy strangers coffee. Do random nice things for people that you don't even know, and let's make Quincy a better place for everybody. Now, before we jump into this week in Quincy Jack's lives, we're gonna come cover some upcoming city administration news announcements, and then we'll jump into Quincy Jack sports and events.

In City News, the composting facility is now operating on their winter hours. If you weren't aware, which is Monday through Friday, 7:15 AM to 3:15 PM they're closed from lunch from 1115 to 1215. Chamber of Commerce is having their monthly business after hours meeting tonight at Home's Electric from five 30 to seven 30.

If you're not familiar with that, chamber members are generally local businesses and they get together once a month and just connect with other business owners in town. It's a great chance to know the other people in the area who are doing small business in our community and get to know them. I've met some incredible people there over the years.

As of Tuesday, the Quincy Animal Shelter had picked up a lost pup near Pioneer. I announced this yesterday. Be sure and check their Facebook page and help them get this puppy home. We have lots of dogs running around Quincy, so I'll remind you. License your dog. Chip your dog. So if your dog gets lost, they can find.

It is a city requirement, so make sure your dog is licensed. So if your dog does get lost, we can be sure and get your dog back to you and you know how to get it. But until then, let's help each other out. There is some person who is missing their puppy right now, guys, so if you're hearing this, go over to the Quincy Animal Shelters Facebook page.

Take a check out the picture of the pup, and let's see if we can get this puppy home. Now on Jack's news, pioneer, oh, sorry, I'm ahead of myself. In school news, pioneer Elementary has their PAC meeting. That's the parent meeting tonight at 6:00 PM. Quincy Middle School Students. Success Night is tonight at 6:00 PM We got a lot going on today and Mountain View Elementary's first and second grade music program is tonight at five 30.

It's gonna be a good night, guys. Now we'll get into Jack Sport. At home tonight, our Jacks and our Lady Jacks wrestling teams are competing here in Quincy High School against Ellensburg with the JV wrestling at six and the varsity wrestling at seven tonight.

Go check it out. We're talking a lot about wrestling today 'cause there's a lot of wrestling going on, but go check out our jacks and support those great teams tonight. Good luck guys. We're rooting for ya. Away. Our Jackson Lady Jacks basketball teams play in Othello and our Jackson Lady Jacks high school basketball teams play in Sila.
