The Madras Downtown Association is bringing
back the highly successful First Thursday Events start-
ing May 2 with a Fiesta theme.
There will be numerous vendors along D Street,
and dancers from Studio K & Unique Performing
Arts will perform in the Sunshine Square.
Reynoso’s Jewelry will be bringing in Mexican food
via antojitos, or small market stalls, serving tacos,
tamales, fruit cups, and fruit water drinks that people
can purchase as they watch the dancers.
The Art Adventure Gallery’s monthly opening will
celebrate the Community Read, Birding Without Bor-
ders by Noah Stryker, with art selected to feature
birds. They open at 5 p.m. with a light spread of
appetizers and will have a brief discussion about the
featured art exhibit.
Studio on Fifth will be continuing to hold their
carving sessions on Thursday nights, and is a great
demo spot to visit and community members are in-
vited to enter the studio for a closer look.
The Patty Davis Band will be playing at Wild Bleu
with Bad Pacifist playing at Willow Creek Taproom,
located next to OK Barbershop in the food truck
alley. Both bands will be live from 6-8 p.m.
According to Kim Schmith, who helps with the
First Thursday Events, the goal this year is to,
“strengthen the depth of our vendors, create even
more options for the entire family, showcase local
businesses and promote the growing vibrancy of
downtown Madras.”

Invitation to join Public Health Preparedness Exercise
Warm Springs entities
are invited to participate in
a county Public Health Pre-
paredness Exercise on May
10.
Departments and other
groups invited to hand out
free hygiene kits to clients,
community members, and
anyone who needs or asks
for one, 14 years or older.
The exercise is a test of
the county Health Depart-
ment to deliver a medical
counter-measure to the
community during an emer-
gency.
A medical countermea-
sure could be vaccinations
or pills that prevent further
spread of a disease or
chemical agent or reduces the
severity of symptoms in
people that are infected or
exposed. In this test, our
‘medicine’ is the hygiene kits.
It’s a great way to test our
emergency response capabili-
ties while also providing a
free benefit to Jefferson
County residents.
The kits will include
conditioner and shampoo,
deodorant, antibiotic oint-
ment, soap, emery board,
mini toothbrush and tooth-
paste, shave cream and razor,
comb, and feminine hygiene
products (half of the kits will
have these). Other items are
also included.
There are two ways to do
this:
Be an ‘open point of dis-
pensing,’ where you hand kits
out to anyone in the commu-
nity. You department or
group will be advertised as a
place to walk-in and pick up
a kit. The Health Department
will then call a few weeks af-
ter May 10 and see how it
went distributing the kits.
Second: Be a ‘closed point
of dispensing,’ where you
hand out kits only to your cli-
ents and staff.
The Health Department
will deliver the kits to your
organization on May 1, if
you are interested in helping.
There are a total of 2,500
kits that will be distributed
