Grange holds hoedown, concert

Silverton Grange is hosting the Inaugural Grange Hoedown and Concert Series on Sunday, Oct. 1, to help pay for needed heating, ventilation and air conditioning work.

The event had been scheduled for earlier this summer but was postponed because of the heat wave.

Doors open at 6:15 p.m. for the open mike signups, with the music set to start at 6:30 p.m. The Silverton band The Crying Omas, which is donating its performance, goes on at 7:45 p.m.

The event also features dancing, popcorn and non-alcoholic drinks. Organizers are asking for sliding-scale donations of between $5 and $20. Those under 18 will be admitted free.

The Grange is at 201 Division St. For more information go to its Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/events/3102451273232545/ or email [email protected].
