This is your daily local update for Quincy George Winchester Crescent Bar, and all of the 9 8 8 4 8. If it matters to our community, we're talking about it. In the next few minutes, we'll cover today's weather, what's happening around town, school, sports and activities, school, city council, police, fire, church community, and local business news.

Whether you're heading to work, getting the kids out the door are just easing into your day. We're here to help you stay connected to what's happening in our community. Grab your coffee, get ready for your day, and let's start with today's forecast. Currently, 41 here at the studio, mostly cloudy today with a low chance of some light showers [00:01:00] early eyes in the low to mid fifties winds South Southwest.

It's gonna be warm and sunny with some highs all the way up to the sixties. Possible on Saturday and Sunday with some heavy winds on Sunday with big wind gu gust before it cools back down Sunday evening.

If you're looking for a reason to celebrate today, it's national employee appreciation day. So when you don't feel appreciated today at work, tell your boss, Hey, it's your day to appreciate me, and if you're a boss, appreciate your employees today. They've earned it. It's also national Dress in blue today, so you know what you're wearing.

Find a blue outfit, and if you don't own a blue outfit, then I [00:02:00] guess you paint yourself blue. Hmm, who knows? It's the beginning of the Arnold Strongman Sports Festival, which is my favorite part of the year. You guys have the Super Bowl. I have the Arnold Strongman competition, and if that doesn't do it for you, today is National Oreo Cookie Day.

My kids will be happy. They love Oreos. I've never understood it, but. They make Oreos that don't even look like Oreos anymore, so I'm sure you can find what fits the need for National Oreo cookie day. Grab some Oreos, dunk 'em in some milk, and have an amazing day today around Quincy. The Quincy Rec Department is hosting Teen Night from seven to 10:00 PM That's a free event for all teens, ages 13 to 19 years old.

Listen if you want to get your jam on, head out to the George Community Center tonight. Are you looking for something fun to do with a group of friends?

It is Friday.

Normally, I can blame the bad joke on my wife who helps me put together my notes for the next day, but. This is all on me. So today's bad joke is brought to you by my sad sense of humor. Why are oranges so slow? They always run out of juice.[00:05:00]

If you'd like to play dodgeball, hey, tag your friends and go Chuck balls at their head from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM I think that's technically against the rules, but you're gonna do it anyways 'cause that's what friends are for.

Daylight savings time happens this weekend.

Please make a note. I won't be here to remind you tomorrow. Daylight savings time officially ends and our clocks get reset one hour forward. For some people they don't care. Other people they do. So here's the question. Are you looking forward to getting an extra hour of sleep or do you wish they would stop messing with the time?

Twice a year, let us [00:09:00] know. We'd love to hear back. I'm already getting some comments on some of the posts. Uh, and people do not seem to like this whole time switch thing. I know I don't, but I'd love to hear how you guys feel about this. But please don't let this one slip up on you. Uh, church is always funny on the Sunday morning of a time change to find out who actually remembered and who didn't.

In safety announcements according to Washington State Department of Transportation, the I 90 Adams Road overpass east of George, is close until further notice for us in Quincy, this is a major thing. 'cause I know a lot of people who head out that way. The DOT crews checked it out Wednesday morning to report a hole in the bridge deck and have closed the overpass until the bridge team can inspect the site because of the hole on any potential.

Potential repairs have not been fully determined. And as soon as we actually have an update on that, we'll let you guys know. Travelers are currently being dirt detoured to the junction of I 90 and State [00:10:00] Route 2 81, uh, on Spur and frontage Road. So we announced that yesterday, but please if you didn't hear it yesterday, that's why I'm announcing it.

Again. We all know the massive inconvenience of having to reroute. A trip rather for work. Our personal travel, because you didn't know a normal way you go is thrown off. So please take that note in your head. If you normally go out Adams road to I 90, you're gonna have to reroute for a little while. Now, before we jump in, upcoming Quincy Jacks life and are gonna cover city admin news and announcements.

And then we'll jump onto Jack Sports and events. Check out the Quincy Animal Shelter Facebook page. They found a new dog yesterday. Uh, and you guys are great. We're getting more and more dogs home.
