Boardman Buzz: What’s Happening in Our Hometown This Week

As the Columbia River flows steadily past our city, the pace of life in Boardman is picking up with a slate of local events and community gatherings. From the farm fields to the riverfront, there’s always something to do for residents looking to connect with their neighbors.

This week, the focus is on family and fresh produce. The Boardman Farmers Market, held every Saturday morning in Marina Park, is in full swing. Local growers from Morrow and Umatilla counties are bringing in the season’s first sweet corn, juicy tomatoes, and crisp cucumbers. It’s more than just shopping; it’s a chance to support the agricultural heart of our region and catch up with friends.

For those seeking a bit of history, the Port of Morrow is offering guided tours of its industrial and agricultural operations, highlighting how our local economy powers the state. Meanwhile, the Boardman Library continues its popular summer reading program for kids, with a special storytime session featuring tales of the Oregon Trail.

On the sports field, the Boardman Youth Soccer League kicks off its preseason practices at Boardman City Park. Volunteers are always welcome to help coach or run the concession stand. As the sun sets later, evenings are perfect for a community picnic at the riverside or a quiet fishing trip off the dock.

Staying informed about what’s happening right here is what keeps our small town spirit strong. Whether it’s a pancake breakfast fundraiser or a meeting about the new city park plans, getting involved is what makes Boardman, Oregon, a special place to call home.
