Those intending to go should sign up in the Pro Shop by July 21.

Chandler, the third editor in the 80-year history of The Bulletin and one of the nation’s best-known newspapermen, died this morning at his Bend home of prostate cancer. He was 75. 10 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald July 13, 2011 Plate after plate of fungus fi lls the room with a rich, earthy smell. Some you can eat. Some will make you sick. Some will kill you. But that doesn’t scare members of the Southern Idaho Mycological Association, who spent Friday and Saturday gathering mushrooms around the Anthony Lakes area. ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald July 14, 2020 The towering sign that greets visitors and citizens of Baker City in front of the Baker Truck Corral near the Campbell Street interchange on Interstate 84 has been missing. But now the 20-foot-tall sign, installed by the Kiwanis Club of Baker City, is back. And looking better. Kiwanis Club secretary David Cowan said club mem- bers decided it was time to clean and repaint the sign. It reads “Welcome To Baker City On The Oregon Trail” on its east side, along with rows of logos of service organiza- tions and other local services. The west-facing side reads “Thank You For Supporting Our Community” and includes logos from several busi- nesses. Workers removed the sign on June 9 and re-installed the refreshed version Friday, July 10. The welcome display is a way to recognize the partners that help make the Kiwanis Club possible, Cowan said. The Club helps with projects such as the Santa photos during the Christmas Festival of Trees, literacy programs, school carnivals, and other events and programs aimed toward helping children in Baker City. Cowan said he is grateful to Kurt Miller, the owner of the Truck Corral who donates the land and electricity for the display year-round, as well as Ace Hardware and D&B Supply for donating material.
