Coquille (KMTR) - Six new faces were sworn in to join the team of Court Appointed Special Advocates in Coos County Friday morning.  Each new CASA has their own reasons for wanting to get involved, but the common thread is a heart for kids who don't have a voice of their own.  Melissa Hollingsworth was sworn in Friday; she said, "I heard about it and I know there's a big need in Coos County.  So I thought, being an empty-nester now—my kids have gone off to college—and I just wanted to help out."

Contributor: Hannah Olsen

Coos Bay (KMTR) - Coos County will be “rocking for food" this weekend.  It's the latest fundraiser benefiting the South Coast Food Share.  Portland-based band Hookah Stew will be play a live rock concert, and the benefit was all their idea.  Folks at Oregon Coast Community Action say the band's lead singer called them up a few months ago, wanting to put together a fundraiser to help feed local kids and families.  "We got a call out of the blue!  Apparently they've done events like this in the past.  I know they have a really strong belief in advocating for hunger relief efforts," said Volunteer Coordinator Madeline Enos.

The “Rock for Food” concert is Saturday, September 24th at Walt's Pourhouse in Coos Bay.  The show starts at 9 p.m., and admission is two non-perishable food items or a cash donation.  This is a 21 and over event.  All proceeds will go to the South Coast Food Share.

The Bay Area Fun Festival had so many events to keep people busy over the weekend in downtown Coos Bay, but folks did seem to find time for an old favorite on Saturday.

The last big parade of the summer on the South Coast had a little something for everyone as it rolled around downtown, before heading South on Highway 101.

The two day Fun Fest also included other traditional events, like the Prefontaine Memorial Run and Cruz the Coos.
