The slogan for

Davenport (pun intended), as couches race 250 feet
down Silverton's Main Street, in a lively
competition that has grown steadily over the
years. *All participants are encouraged to be

MORE THAN GREAT FOOD! -
A great
tradition continues this year as the
Silverton Lions Club hosts another
“Harvest Breakfast.” The breakfast was
built upon an old Silverton tradition
which was started long ago by farming
families in the area who banded
together to help each other at harvest
time. The work crews started their day
with a hearty breakfast. Eventually,
when harvesting practices changed, the
tradition waned. The Lions decided to
revive the tradition and
the “Harvest
Breakfast” became an annual event and
fund-raiser. Funds generated by this
and other activities go to many
programs benefiting the Silverton
community. The main program of the
service club is assisting people with
sight and hearing needs. Lions
purchase eye glasses and hearing aids
for children and adults who cannot
otherwise afford them. Another
community project funded by the
Silverton Lions Club was the
construction of the Park dining
pavilion and kitchen. |
