Silverton Mayor’s Ball returns Oct. 22

Silverton Mayor Kyle Palmer is reviving the Mayors Ball fundraiser on Oct. 22. It is believed that this will be the first time the event has been held in a decade.

The Portland-based oldies band Johnny Limbo and the Lugnuts, long-time musical performers for the ball, will be on hand for the show, which runs from 7 to 11 p.m.

Tickets cost $40 in advance and $45 at the door. Reserved tables for eight are available for $400 in advance. Event admission also includes local cuisine. The event is for adults only and tickets can be purchased at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/mayors-ball-2022-tickets-386160575677.

Palmer said one of the goals of the ball will be to honor as many former mayors as possible. Invitations have gone out to all of them, he said, noting that video presentations might be possible for those, such as Stu Rasmussen, who have passed away.

Items will be available for auction, with all proceeds going to Silverton area nonprofit organizations.
