Father and son duo give back to the community of North Bend BECKY GIGER News Editor
On August 17th from 11 am to 4 pm families within the North Bend area can head over to the Pappa Philly n Bubba Dogs food truck in the parking lot next to KFC to get a free backpack and a hotdog thanks to owner Jarrod Olsen and his son, Anthony. The father son duo has been serving the community with food and school supplies for over four years and this year's goal hopes to reach over 1000 students in the area. The father and son began their food truck seven years ago when Anthony told his father that he wanted to start one. “I told him no, then when I was driving home, I thought, I can’t tell my son I can’t do something,” from there they launched the food truck with Pappa Jarrod focused on
the Philly cheesesteaks and son Anthony ‘Bubba’ working on hotdogs. After taking part in a 2020 backpack giveaway where they were hired to do the food for the event, the duo decided they wanted to continue to give back. The first year they started with only 125 backpacks and have been watching it grow ever sense. When Jarrod lost his mother a few years back they especially wanted to continue the tradition in memory of her. This year they took all the proceeds from their Fourth of July profits and bought as many backpacks as they could. They had 904 and the remaining 96 were donated to reach their 1000 backpack goal. This year they will be offering one backpack to each child and a Bubba Special for each child and one parent that Giving Back continues on page 10

No Brass No Ammo 234th Army Street Band echoed across the Coos Bay waterfront on Thursday, July 25th as another free event for the community to enjoy during the two weeks of music put on by the Oregon Coast music festival. The nine-member band entertained the lunch time crowds un-
der the pavilion on the Coos Bay boardwalk. Led by SSG Karri Davis, each member introduced themselves before every tune and played a variety of music that the band believes tells the Army story through music. No Brass No Ammo performs throughout the states of Oregon and Washington including official military functions and public performances. The music the band spotlights are high-energy
traditional jazz, and contemporary brass arrangements, marches and historical literature. Though the wind made hearing the band difficult at times, the sunny weather brought a large gathering to listen and enjoy one of the last concerts of the week. The Oregon Coast Music Festival wrapped up its 2024 events on Saturday, July 27th with the final Orchestra Concert at Marshfield High.
