The Oregon Police Department and the Oregon Fire Protection District are excited to defend the legendary “Brechon Cup” tonight against the Oregon CUSD 220 Teachers during Family Fun Night 2026!

📍 Behind the Etnyre School on the t-ball field
🕔 First kick between 5:00 PM and 5:30p.m.

This matchup promises elite athleticism, questionable stretching routines, and hopefully no pulled hamstrings. Rumor has it Lt. Brechon is basically the Babe Ruth of kickball.💪

Who do you think will kick the first homerun: Mr. Huels or Lt. Brechon?

There’s only one way to find out. Come out and cheer on your hometown heroes and amazing teachers for a great night of fun and a lot of laughs! 🚓🚒⚾

The Oregon Police Department would like to give a big THANK YOU to Oregon Elementary School, Oregon High School, and Oregon Council Member Josiah Flanagan for helping make today’s Walk & Ride Your Bike to School Day such a fun and successful event!

We loved seeing so many students getting active, enjoying the fresh air, and showing off their creativity. From long-distance riders to some seriously awesome bike decorations, the competition was strong! 🏆

And let’s be honest… nothing fuels a morning ride quite like 🍩 donuts, a big shoutout to the schools for making sure every participant got a sweet reward!

Events like this are a great reminder of how strong our community is when we come together to support our kids. We’re proud to be part of it and can’t wait to see even more bikes (and even more decorations!) next time.

Stay safe, keep pedaling, and maybe save us a donut next year! 😄🚴‍♂️
