Martell Webster Wedding

Here's video from our story about the Martell Webster wedding. The former Portland Trailblazer, now playing for the Minnesota Timberwolves, is set to marry Saturday. The location of the wedding is near the Rooster Rock Fire burning in Sisters.

Some pics from yesterdays visit to Sisters

We were driving around Plainview hoping to get a good view of the big fire. We just happened to drive up to a home where former Trailblazer, Martell Webster, was having his wedding Saturday. The home is owned by the parents of the bride. They were worried earlier in the week that the fire was headed toward their property.

Back in Sisters for the Rooster Rock fire
