The Linn County government meeting held on June 2, 2025, focused on community engagement initiatives and updates on local projects. Key discussions included plans for International Yoga Day and the distribution of burn kits ahead of the July 4 holiday.
Amanda, a representative from the county, announced that a yoga event for children aged 2 to 12 will take place on June 20 from 1 to 2 PM. She emphasized the importance of signing up in advance to ensure adequate supplies for participants. Additionally, she highlighted the successful distribution of burn kits last year, which will be available again this year at fireworks stands and the county office.
