The last 15 minutes of this special is behind-the-scene footage, including some mockumentary segments.
Kyle MacLachlan (mayor) and Catherine E. Coulson (marionberry farmer) were costars on the TV series Twin Peaks (as FBI Agent Cooper and Margaret Lanterman / the "Log Lady," respectively). Coulson's casting may have been a nod to that history, but she was also a local Oregon actor; she lived for decades in Ashland, Oregon (about 4 hours south of Portland), where she was a frequent participant in regional theater productions and spent more than 20 seasons with the acting company of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival in Ashland.
