The committee has been following several concerning weather trends regarding the event this weekend. Air quality is our issue today. We are currently level RED based on the Air Quality Index, which is considered UNHEALTHY. We are forecasted to be at a RED level throughout the evening. We encourage every individual to calculate your own risk based on your health and make the best decision for you, as your health and safety are most valuable. For those that choose to come to the park, we will be open with vendors selling food and goods, speakers and music. We are hoping for better air quality tomorrow, and we are following the potential for severe storms as well, with plans in place to protect event-goers from possible severe weather. Please stay tuned for more updates! Thank you!

I am the founder of J² PRESS, a community-centered news platform dedicated to sharing meaningful stories and fostering local engagement. I launched J² PRESS in honor of my father, James Jones, whose work with Solomon's Words for the Wise reflected a deep commitment to truth, integrity, and community dialogue.

Inspired by his legacy, I created J² PRESS as a continuation of that mission—providing a space where important voices are heard and stories that matter are told. My work focuses on building connections, encouraging thoughtful conversation, and supporting the communities I serve.

Through J² PRESS, I remain committed to preserving a tradition of honest journalism while creating new opportunities for collaboration and growth.
