spring 2020 | editor’s note

y window view as I work right now is amazing: sunny skies, my daughter and dog play-
Ming outside, my husband’s music in the background. Working from home has its perks.
Thanks to Covid 19 guidelines, I have been here for a few weeks now. As have a majority of
you. All of our writers and photographers have continued to hustle in getting their work
done from home so we won’t miss our Spring issue. Thank you to everyone who helped put
this magazine together, so Southern Oregon Magazine can keep producing and providing
local coverage and interesting stories about this awesome region during this trying time.

Obviously, our calendar and other event coverage is a little off, as events are being cancelled
left and right, or moved to new dates. We have done our best to print as up-to-date infor-
mation as possible, but of course things will change as they have been over the last month.
So please double check for yourselves anything you plan on attending, don’t take our word
for it this time. There are so many amazing events in the spring and summer months, and
we don’t want to avoid writing about them. So we took a chance that these events will still
happen at some point, and chose to include them as planned.
