Applegate Jacksaphine Count(r)y Week – Starts with a Party!

Come celebrate the beauty, flavors and diversity of the Applegate Valley during Jacksaphine Count(r)y Week, a run of events from Sept 21st—29th. The series draws its whimsical name from the valley’s straddle across both Jackson and Josephine Counties.

The week will showcase some of the valley’s best offerings, including local food and beverages, as well as area musicians, artists, farmers, paraglider pilots and community members. The festivities will take place at some of the valley’s most scenic venues, including LongSword Vineyard, Yale Creek Ranch, Wooldridge Winery, and Provolt Recreation Area. Some highlights include…

Kick it off with a Party @ Yale Creek Ranch on Saturday, Sept. 21st, 4:00pm -9:00pm

Live Music from Eight Dollar Mountain, Love Buzz and Quale Parts! Local food from the Williams Monday Hub & a wide array of beverages available for purchase.

Blue Bag and Device Recycling Day

Thursday, Sept. 26th, 1:00pm-4:00pm

Did you know that any can or bottle with the CRV symbol on it that goes into the blue bags gets turned in to the recycle center and A Greater Applegate gets paid? Come on down to A Greater Applegate’s office during the afternoon and bring your returnable beverage containers to add to our can drive.

We will also be collecting eligible electronic devices for recycling through AfterBits, saving you a trip to town! In order to e-cycle, please “wipe” your devices before leaving them with AGA. For details on what can be recycled and how to wipe your devices, click here.
