🎭 Juneteenth jubilee

Union County • June 19, 2025

Local Brew Logo
​

Good morning, Union County. Juneteenth celebrations are taking center stage in Marysville this week, with Partners Park transforming into a hub of community unity on June 19. The festivities kick off at 8:30 a.m. with a complimentary breakfast from local favorites McKinley's Grille and Yeasty Boys, accompanied by live jazz from Marysville High School students and special addresses from city leaders. It's a meaningful commemoration of freedom and history right in our backyard.

History buffs got their own special treat recently when Paul Revere himself—or rather, historian Brent Carson in revolutionary garb—galloped into the local DAR meeting. Meanwhile, education matters continue moving forward as the Marysville school board prepares for a special June 26 hearing to discuss potentially rehiring four retirees. The expanded meeting will also address proposals for a propane station and creation of new funds.
