sociation, said the nation’s market for trees is hardy,
though drought in California and the Northeast has af-
fected production there. She said people won’t have an
issue finding trees this year.
Oregon trees go around the continental U.S. and
abroad, said Bryan Ostlund, executive director of the
Pacific Northwest Christmas Tree Association. They
can go overseas to Asia, for example.
While supplies have tightened, Ostlund said, he
wouldn’t call it a shortage. He attributes Oregon’s lead-
ership in the nation to its ideal climate for the trees’
growth.
“It’s what mother nature provides us here in the
Northwest,” he said, later adding, “It’s just a perfect
natural growing environment for these conifers.”

Proposal

Organizers kept track of attendance this year. A
few visitors arrived before the official count began,
but they estimate that about 2,200 visitors had ar-
rived by 2 p.m.
This year, the Oregon State Parks Foundation and
REI co-sponsored a raffle featuring outdoor gear.
That was a draw for many, including Lydia Sherwood
of Silverton and her son, Carson Von Weller, 7.
Sherwood said they were there to celebrate the
“Opt Outside” movement and for the chance to win
prizes. The rainy weather didn’t dampen their plans.
“We’re from Oregon,” Sherwood said. “Bundle up
and out we go. You couldn’t pay me to go shopping on
Black Friday.”

Landers said it’s taken a couple of weeks to confirm
the local reports were indeed mumps, and not another
viral infection masquerading as mumps.
“Since there are other viral infections that can cause
swelling of the salivary glands, we had to do special vi-
ral isolation tests,” Landers said.
It’s tough to pinpoint a reason behind the sudden
boost in cases, but Landers did mention some people
who choose not to vaccinate their children or them-
selves as a contributing factor.
Landers said any time there is a low level of vaccines
in a population, which can be defined as not having both
doses of the MMR (measles, mumps and rubella) vac-
cine or just one dose of the vaccine, the virus is bound to
spread easily.
Oregon law requires students who attend school to
receive two doses of MMR, with the first dose starting
as children enter kindergarten. The second vaccine
should be received at least 28 days after the first dose is
administered.
As of 2015, 82 percent of 2-year-olds in Marion Coun-
ty were up to date on their MMR vaccines. In Polk Coun-
ty, roughly 77 percent of 2-year-olds were up to date on
their MMR vaccines, according to the Oregon Health
Authority.
“The best way you can prevent mumps is to get the
measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine,” Land-
ers said.
