ISLAND CITY â The Ag-Timber Parade returned Friday, May 21, after taking a year off due to the pandemic, to again celebrate the agricultural and timber industries that make up a large chunk of the local economy.
Oregon Women in Timber sponsored the parade that rolled out starting at 6 p.m. Oregon Women in Timber is a statewide nonprofit organization committed to raising awareness about the importance of proper forest management and the products that come from Oregonâs timberlands.
âThe Ag-Timber Parade is our way to show our support for the big industries in Union county,â said Tiffany Sherman, an organizer with Oregon Women in Timber who helped facilitate the parade. âItâs been around for years and years and we just like to honor those industries that honor our community.â
