4A ● APPEAL TRIBUNE WEDNESDAY, MAY 24, 2017 Life in the Valley y sanews@salem.gannett.com PHOTOS BY JUSTIN MUCH / APPEAL TRIBUNE The third Saturday in May rolls out the annual Silverton Kiwanis Pet Parade. Calling all party animals Silverton Kiwanis Pet Parade fetches a festive crowd JUSTIN MUCH STAYTON MAIL Silver Creek Animal Clinic served as the Grand Marshal as the 2017 Silverton Kiwanis Pet Parade rolled through town Saturday, May 20. The Kiwanis Club saluted the clinic on its website dedicated to the parade: “SCAC’s grand marshal designation honors the esteemed members of our community who have dedicated them- selves and their careers to improving the care and quality of life for all animals − especially pets.” In keeping with tradition, the proces- sion proved colorful and festive for all ages and critters. There were scores of dogs, but also bunnies, goats, kitty cats, rodents, hens, horses and at least one jol- ly hog. Silverton Police extended the down- town festivities with a cycling safety clinic following the parade. If you missed it, don’t be blue about it. Planning for the next year’s parade be- gins immediately after the cleaning crew finishes up its tail-end-of-the-pro- cession tasks.
