Cottage Grove's busiest month offers a schedule packed with nonstop action BY JON STINNETT The Cottage Grove Sentinel L ess rain than normal in the winter months and recent scorching temperatures have already made it feel like sum- mer for quite a while in Cottage Grove, but those familiar with south Lane County’s calendar know that summer just isn’t the same without many of the area’s signature July events. Here’s a roundup of some of the action that can be expected this month, from decades-old classics to brand-new offerings: At right: A full slate of activities is planned for this year's Cottage Grove Rodeo, which takes place Friday, July 10 and Saturday, July 11. Old Favorites New this year Bohemia Mining Days Arguably the biggest weekend in the Cot- tage Grove calendar, July 16-19 brings the 56th annual Bohemia Mining Days celebra- tion, and a full outline of what to expect for this week’s festival, themed “By Wing, By Wheel, By Engine of Steel” can be found in the Bohemia Nugget, which will appear along with the Sentinel’s July 15 edition.
