Good morning, Odessa.

Today, local organizers kicked off Juneteenth festivities in Odessa—serving as a powerful reminder of freedom and resilience.

Diamondback Energy hosted Steam Camp to mentor Young Women's Leadership Academy students, and 80 students from 24 campuses across Midland learned about discovery and innovation—an experience that could boost their future skills.

Medical Center Hospital is promoting National CPR and AED Month by urging Odessa residents to learn CPR to boost survival chances during sudden cardiac arrests+ Dr. Gracie Smith advises calling 911 and performing 100 to 120 compressions per minute until help arrives.

The first home in Odessa with electricity is set to be restored by new owner Jeff Avery to bring back its former beauty—its historic structure, once at 5th and Lee, now sits on South Yukon with original touches still visible.

Avery plans to repair nearby barns and a former horse arena to preserve the property’s character for future use.

The Bush Tennis Center announced the sale of 16 acres of land and an unfinished building to Athlete Quest — a move that allows the center to invest more in youth sports programs while continuing its year-round tennis, pickleball, and padel classes on the remaining campus.
