As the year draws to a close, we at the Grants Pass Tribune want to take a moment to reflect on the incredible year we’ve shared with this amazing community. Grants Pass and the greater Josephine County area have once again proven that there’s no place like home, filled with people who exemplify kindness, resilience, and a deep commitment to one another. We’re truly grateful to serve such a remarkable community, and this holiday season, we want to express our heartfelt thanks for all the support you’ve shown us throughout 2024.
This year has been filled with milestones, challenges, and countless moments of joy. From bustling local events like Boatnik to quieter moments of connection at our local parks and businesses, the spirit of Grants Pass has shone brightly. It’s been a privilege to cover the stories that matter to you—from highlighting local heroes to keeping you informed about everything happening in our vibrant town.
We’re reminded daily of the incredible strength and generosity that make this community so special. Whether it was neighbors coming together to support one another during tough times or rallying behind local causes, Grants Pass has shown what it means to truly care. The small acts of kindness we’ve seen this year—a warm meal shared, a helping hand extended, or a simple smile offered—remind us that it’s the people who make this place extraordinary.
To the businesses, community leaders, educators, healthcare workers, first responders, and volunteers who tirelessly work to make Josephine County a better place—thank you. Your dedication and passion inspire us every day. To the families who have shared their stories, milestones, and triumphs with us—thank you for letting us be a part of your journey.
