90’s Flannel Fest Turns Up the Heat for October 2–3 Return to Moses Lake
Fifth annual concert-campout adds heating throughout the venue and new discounted group ticket packages
Moses Lake, WA – September 8, 2026 — 90’s Flannel Fest returns to the Grant County Fairgrounds & Events Center October 2–3 for its fifth year, bringing two days of live music celebrating the defining artists of 90’s alternative, grunge and rock.
And this year, Flannel Fest is literally turning up the heat.
New for 2026, propane heating towers will be located throughout the festival grounds, while large blowers will pump warm air into the pit area in front of the stage. The additions are designed to keep fans more comfortable as temperatures cool down after dark.
“It gets a little crisp at night, but it IS Flannel Fest,” says co-producer Jason Fellman of Harefest LLC and J-Fell Presents. “We love the outdoor fall atmosphere, and this year we wanted to make it easier for people to stay warm while they’re hanging out with friends and watching the bands.”
The 21-and-over concert-campout features 10 tribute bands over two days. Friday’s lineup includes Red Not Chili Peppers [Red Hot Chili Peppers], Nevermind [Nirvana] and Head Over Feet [Alanis Morissette]. Saturday features Grand Royale [Beastie Boys], Jar of Flies [Alice in Chains], Fighting Foos [Foo Fighters], Outshined [Soundgarden], TribU2 [U2], Corduroy [Pearl Jam] and Nookie [Limp Bizkit].
Also new this year is group pricing, with packages of 10 tickets available at a 20% discount, giving groups of friends another reason to make a weekend of Flannel Fest together.
Fans also won’t have to choose between the music and college football. Flannel Fest’s sports bar will be showing Saturday’s action, including Washington State vs. Fresno State and Washington at USC, allowing fans to keep tabs on the games throughout the festival.
RV and tent camping are available on site, allowing attendees to stay for the entire weekend without leaving the fairgrounds. Blankets and chairs are also permitted in the festival grounds.
Tickets, camping passes and additional festival information are available at 90sflannelfest.com.

Girl Scouts of Silver Sage - 09/08/26 7:48 AM
BOISE, Idaho, Sept. 8, 2026 — Today, Girl Scouts of Silver Sage unveiled two first-of-their-kind additions to the 2027 Girl Scout Cookie® lineup. Patch Pals™, developed with BARK, and Girl Scout Sparkables™, developed with Partake®, will debut together as the first cookie created just for dogs and the first allergy-friendly cookie. These online-exclusive offerings will join beloved classics like Thin Mints®, Caramel deLites®, and Peanut Butter Patties®.
Inspired by Girl Scouts around the country who have advocated for expanding the cookie lineup to meet the diverse needs of their communities, Patch Pals and Girl Scout Sparkables offer new ways for more girls, families, and beloved pets to participate in the Girl Scout Cookie Program® while staying true to what makes the tradition special.
“The Girl Scout Cookie Program has always been about bringing communities together while teaching girls real-world business and leadership skills,” said Dr. Angela Hemingway, CEO of Girl Scouts of Silver Sage. “With Patch Pals and Girl Scout Sparkables, we’re making cookie season more inclusive than ever. Whether sharing a delicious treat or including a cherished family pet, these new products give our girls even greater opportunities to power their adventures, serve their communities, and build lifelong confidence.”
For four-legged family members, Patch Pals offers a playful new way to take part in the fun. Developed with BARK (NYSE: BARK), the dog-obsessed company on a mission to make all dogs happy, and inspired by Girl Scouts’ deep love for their dogs, the soft-baked, blueberry muffin-flavored dog cookies celebrate the bond between people and their pups. Each cookie has been baked to feature one of four “patch” designs, representing iconic Girl Scout experiences.
Girl Scout Sparkables brings a new level of inclusivity to the Girl Scout Cookie portfolio as its first-ever cookie developed for families navigating certain food allergies. Developed with Partake in a facility designed to avoid the nine major food allergens, the crunchy oatmeal cookie features chocolate chips and is dotted with colorful sprinkles, giving families navigating the most common food allergies a way to feel more included during Girl Scout Cookie season.
Each year, Girl Scouts develop essential life skills, including goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills, and business ethics, while gaining a deeper understanding of themselves and what they care about. Every cookie box purchase helps fuel life-changing experiences for Girl Scouts throughout the year, from outdoor adventures and travel opportunities to community service projects, STEM exploration, and leadership development. All proceeds stay local to support Girl Scout Councils and troops.
Patch Pals and Girl Scout Sparkables will be available online only through Digital Cookie while supplies last. In our area, Digital Cookie opens on Friday, January 8, 2027.
For more information on how to join, volunteer, reconnect, or donate, visit www.girlscouts-ssc.org or call 208-377-2011. Troops are forming now.

Bureau of Land Management Ore. & Wash. - 09/04/26 10:46 AM
PORTLAND, Ore. – As Labor Day weekend approaches, the Bureau of Land Management is reminding visitors that wildfire season is far from over across Oregon and Washington.
More than 2.5 million acres have already burned across the Northwest this year, making 2026 an exceptionally active wildfire season. While temperatures may begin to cool and some areas may receive rain, fuels can remain dry and fire danger can change quickly. September can also bring periods of warm, dry and windy weather that increase the potential for rapid fire growth.
“Labor Day can feel like the end of summer, but it is not necessarily the end of fire season,” said Todd Forbes, acting BLM Oregon/Washington Associate State Director. “We are asking visitors to keep fire prevention in mind as they enjoy public lands this weekend. Conditions can change quickly, and one careless spark can have consequences for communities, wildlife, natural resources, and firefighters.”
The BLM has recently adjusted some closures and restrictions as local conditions change, allowing more opportunities for people to visit public lands. However, fire restrictions remain in effect across BLM-administered lands in Oregon and Washington, and additional local restrictions or closures may apply. Restrictions vary by location based on fire danger, weather, and fuel conditions. Before traveling, visitors should check the latest information for the specific BLM District or recreation area they plan to visit.
“The best wildfire is the one that never starts,” said Josh O’Connor, Northwest Geographic Area Fire Chief for the U.S. Wildland Fire Service. “This Labor Day weekend, we’re asking visitors to know the restrictions, understand the conditions and do their part to prevent human-caused fires.”
The following items remain prohibited on all BLM-administered public lands in Oregon and Washington:
-
Fireworks and sky lanterns
-
Exploding or metallic targets
-
Tracer or incendiary devices
-
Steel-core or steel-jacketed ammunition
For more information on seasonal fire restrictions and fire closures, please see www.blm.gov/orwafire.
-BLM-
The BLM manages about 245 million acres of public land located primarily in 12 western states, including Alaska, on behalf of the American people. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. Our mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of America’s public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations.
The U.S. Wildland Fire Service conducts operations in close coordination with the Bureau of Land Management. As a unified federal entity under the Department of the Interior, the USWFS integrates expertise to streamline wildfire prevention, response and recovery under our shared mission to foster fire-resilient landscapes and safeguard communities across America’s public lands.
FlashAlert - 09/03/26 5:10 AM
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 2026 – FlashAlert announces a new feature for media organizations that may be helpful to your newsroom.
To prevent smaller media outlets from being overwhelmed by out‑of‑area content, FlashAlert allows our client organizations to target their news releases to specific markets - even down to smaller individual cities such as South Lane, Oregon or Chehalis, Washington. When a client chooses only to send their release to those smaller markets, media outlets outside of that market will not receive the release (e.g. a small business serving Troutdale, Oregon could choose to send a release just to Troutdale resulting in Portland media not receiving it even though Troutdale is in the Portland / Vancouver / Salem region).
We’ve now introduced an override option for media outlets that want broader visibility.
Your newsroom can choose to automatically receive all releases sent to any region you select, even if the originating organization did not include your hometown market city when posting. For example, if you want to receive every release sent to the Portland/Vancouver/Salem region - or even every release sent anywhere in Colorado, Oregon or Washington - we can enable that.
If this is of interest, simply send an email to t@flashalert.net">support@flashalert.net and let us know which regions you would like to receive all releases from:
- Bend / Central–Eastern Oregon
- Boise / Southern Idaho
- Colorado Springs / Pueblo
- Columbia (Pendleton / Tri‑Cities / Yakima)
- Eugene / Springfield / Roseburg / Albany / Corvallis
- Medford / Klamath Falls / Grants Pass
- Portland / Vancouver / Salem
- Spokane / Eastern Washington / North Idaho
This feature is completely optional. If your current setup is working well, no changes will be made.
Additionally, we want to hear from YOU:
- What can FlashAlert do to help make your news team more efficient?
- Are there features or capabilities you would like to see added to the FlashAlert network?
- Do you have any other comments or suggestions?
Your feedback is incredibly valuable to the ongoing development of new features and streamlined efficiency.
Thank you for your ongoing partnership in the FlashAlert network. We couldn't do what we do without you.
Sincerely,
Eric Jacobson
CEO – FlashAlert / irx, LLC
