Oregon Zoo's Tillamook Cheese Day
On any other occasion, the words "zoo" and "cheese" shouldn't really be in the same sentence, but we'll make an exception for Tillamook's 100th birthday. Because one celebration just wasn't enough, the animals at the zoo are down to party too—basically the same event held a few weeks ago at Pioneer Courthouse Square, but this time with the added thrill of Loafy the Baby Loaf frolicking among ravenous, sharp-toothed wildcats. Will our daring dairy mascot live to see another anniversary? Be there and find out. 9 am-4 pm Friday, August 28. Oregon Zoo, 4001 SW Canyon Road, 220-2789. $9.75 (12-64), seniors $8.25, children $6.75, 2- free.
