Our Third Space brings a bookstore, public house to Veneta
Veneta’s new bookstore is the talk of the town, according to the folks hanging out at the bar on a Thursday afternoon. Music from the 1920s plays in the background as visitors share thoughts on their newest reads, sip drinks and eat burritos from one of the food trucks stationed just outside. Owner Jordan Mackay plays the part of the business’ host well, clad in a flat cap and vest complete with a pocket watch chain, as he welcomes customers, pours drinks and sells books. A step into the space feels almost like a jump back in time. Our Third Space opened Oct. 3 to much joy from the community. Called “perfect” by a patron who occupied an armchair in the bookstore’s living room area, the business provides just what the name implies: a third space where community members across all walks of life can spend time without obligation to spend money. The bar within the used bookstore sells beer, wine, mead and cider, as well as tea and coffee. Down the hall is Cup of Joe Cafe and right outside is the food truck pod where burgers, burritos and traditional Irish fare are available at different vendors. Our Third

Ceremonies, parades and events in the Mid-Valley for Veterans Day 2026
A ceremony at the Oregon State Capitol in Salem and a parade in downtown Albany highlight the Veterans Day event schedule in the Mid-Valley. Veterans Day, always celebrated Nov. 11, is the day set aside to thank and honor all those who served honorably in the U.S. Armed Forces. It should not be confused with Memorial Day, observed the last Monday in May. Memorial Day honors military personnel who died serving their country. Veterans Day also remembers those who died but is intended to thank living veterans for their service and sacrifices. In Oregon, we thank and honor an estimated 235,000 men and 26,000 women across the state for their service during wartime and peacetime, according to the Oregon Department of Veterans' Affairs.Veterans Day originally was called Armistice Day, first observed in 1918 at the end of World War I. The Allies and Germans signed the armistice on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. Congress called for an annual observance in 1926, and Nov. 11 became a national holiday in 1938. It was renamed Veterans Day in 1954 to honor all veterans who served in later wars or in peacetime. Salem-area residents can celebrate Veterans
