Enchanted Forest, the beloved amusement park south of Salem, will be featured in a five-minute segment on the PBS NewsHour that’ll air Monday, April 5. 

The segment will air on OPB at 7 p.m. and will likely be towards the end of the program, according to a post on Enchanted Forest’s Facebook page

Enchanted Forest had a rollercoaster year in 2020 after seeing a pandemic-induced drop in business and later being propped up by an outpouring of donations

While the Facebook post didn’t say what the segment will be about, its upbeat tone suggested good things are ahead. 

“We are making fantastic progress on getting the park ready and hope to open soon!” reads the post.
