The Oregon Department of Forestry, Tillamook Forest Center located at 45500 Wilson River Highway, Tillamook, Oregon 97141 is closed today through the Holiday Weekend due to power outage.



The Center was originally scheduled to host a holiday wreath-making event this Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, but unfortunately, that event has been cancelled. A power line owned by the Bonneville Power Administration went down in the high winds Oregon experienced earlier this week.



"The Tillamook Forest Center hosts this event every year, and every year it's been a big success with families and attendees," says Larry Berrin, Director of the Tillamook Forest Center. "The Center was set to close for the winter on Sunday, November 25, but circumstances necessitated an earlier closure," he said, adding, "Given the disappointment many may be feeling, we hope to host an even bigger and better event next year."



Power will likely not be restored until later next week.
