July is time for the Prosser Chamber of Commerce's 8th Annual Art Walk & Wine Gala.  On Saturday July 16, the historic streets of downtown Prosser will be transformed into a delightful garden of greenery, music and art. Yellow Rose Nursery will once again create an enchanted park in downtown Prosser complete with foliage, benches and fountains.

An extended-cab pickup burns in the eastbound lane of I82 just east of Grandview last week. The Prosser Fire Department responded to the fire, and Chief Doug Merritt said the vehicle's owner was on his way to the Tri-Cities towing a trailer that contained a race car, when the right rear tire of the pickup blew out. Apparently, the resulting friction caused the fiberglass rear fender to catch fire, Merritt said. The owner was able to unhook the trailer and get it clear of the pickup, but he could not extinguish the fire and the vehicle was destroyed.
