• Farmington Civic Theater needs community support (candgnews.com) — Farmington's city-owned Civic Theater, a landmark in the downtown district, is struggling with post-COVID attendance so low it now relies on city loans and general-fund support. Managers are testing new films, special events, possible reclining seats, and expanded concessions, and they're urging Farmington residents to simply come see more movies to keep the historic venue viable. 
• Angelina Yonan Crowned Miss Oakland County 2026 (oaklandcounty115.com) — A Farmington resident, Sydney Jaworski, earned second runner-up and a scholarship at this year's Miss Oakland County pageant, which also featured sponsorship from Farmington Masonic Lodge No. 151.
