SILVER LAKE — After a six-year hiatus, Silver Lake Days returned with a two-day festival on Friday, June 7, and Saturday, June 8.
There was a large turnout for the Silver Lake Days parade, with close to 90 entrants passing out candy to the children in attendance. Claypool Elementary School representatives distributed books as part of their parade entry.
The parade’s grand marshals were Jean Weller and Marlin Carr, longtime Silver Lake residents and former Silver Lake Days organizers. Weller also is a Silver Lake Town Council member
Parade entrants included tractors, local business vehicles, police cars, and fire trucks.
Following the parade, Silver Lake Fire Department hosted a touch-a-truck event and tenderloin dinner. A petting zoo and children’s train rides were also on hand for kids to enjoy.
Festivities continue on June 8 with the Barrel Scrapers Band performing from 4:30-6 p.m. and the Unwound Band ending the day with their setlist from 6-9 p.m.
