Shootings decrease in Salem as city works on violence reduction plans
Good evening, Salem.
If you find yourself hiking in the Willamette or Umpqua National Forests this month, be on the lookout for wooden ornaments.
Starting in mid-November, there will be 200 locally crafted ornaments scattered along each forest’s non-wilderness trails for hikers to find. Finding an ornament will give you the chance to win a prize of a two-day vacation in the Willamette Valley.
The ornament hunt and giveaway is organized by the Willamette Valley Visitors Association, which hosts an annual ornament hunt to encourage people to explore the region
Every ornament will have instructions on how to register online for the chance to win the vacation.
The ornaments are specifically in the following ranger districts:
Willamette National Forest: Detroit, Sweet Home, McKenzie River and Middle Fork
Umpqua National Forest: Cottage Grove
