Free midnight swim session

Colfax swim pool Friday, July 27, will feature a free midnight swim. The swim will be from 8 p.m. until midnight. Sponsors of the event are Nielsen Insurance and Umpqua Bank, who will pay the city rental fee for operating the pool and for the lifeguard staff over the four-hour span.

Colfax midnight swims normally are sponsored by groups as fundraising events which involve admission costs. Part of the admission proceeds are required to go to pay the pool rental expense.

Games, prizes, music and treats for all will be part of the event, according to Steve Larkin, city parks director....
