Photo Album of Junction City Oregon

Welcome to our photo album of Junction City's unique and continuing events.
It's been said that a picture is worth a thousand words (450, accounting for inflation), so that's what you'll find here. You'll find its also worth about a minute of download time, so please be patient!

Some of the stories here here are regular events in Junction City (like the Light Parade) and are updated each time they occur. Others (like the day we moved the original Junction City jail) are one-time events. So grab yourself another cup of coffee or some bottled water and enjoy!

APRIL 26, 2008
In a year of historical and political change, who would ever think that Junction City would be visited by former President Bill Clinton? And yet (with only a short 24 hour notice) here he was in the High School gym, speaking on behalf of his wife Hillary to an enthusiastic crowd. The photos are just what you've seen in hundreds of other news photos...but this is special because its our town!
