Thanks for sharing that, Bob. That's encouraging news. If anyone is interested, Woodlands Scenics has a Facebook page and is posting updates there too.

Rene, et al,

 

Received the following email from a friend, also a dealer/distributor.

 

Subject: Woodland Scenics Fire: Good News

This email from Woodland Scenics was posted on one of the Yahoo groups I
watch:

Dear all,
As you may have heard we have experienced a fire here at Woodland Scenics
and there is good news and bad news. The good news is that no one was hurt
during the fire or evacuation process. The bad news is that it took out a
couple of our manufacturing buildings. However, and fortunately, there is
more good news than bad.
We encompass multiple buildings that are spread out all over the town of
Linn Creek. We only lost two of those buildings and those two contained just
a small portion of our manufacturing facilities. Our shipping department,
warehouse and corporate offices were spared any damage, as were most of our
manufacturing buildings, so it is business as usual.
Thanks for all your concerns.
Respectfully,
Gale Cousins
Director of Sales & Customer Service
Woodland Scenics

 

I hope this will ease the apprehension.

 

Bob C.
