Arendt's Christmas Tree Farm in Aurora, Ore. The Christmas tree season is kicking off! On Saturday, Nov. 21, the Arendt family opens its tree farm along with other farms in the area. This one is halfway between Portland and Salem off I-5 exit 278 (then 4 miles west). It's $25 each for any size organic Noble or Frazer fir. This farm is reportedly the state's sole organic tree farm. |

NEW: Now you also can check out events in your own Portland-area or Southwest Washington neighborhood. Simply go to KATU's new Neighborhoods section, select a neighborhood, and click "Events" at the top of the page. We know at least one of our Web producers will be heading out to an event on that list: Evergreen High School's theatre rendition of "The Outsiders."
Hope to see you out and about!
