Norman Sylvester and Friends (above) entertained several hundred youngsters, parents, and
grandparents Dec. 7 at a holiday party hosted by the Marion-Polk-Yamhill Counties Central La-
bor Council. The event — funded by local unions affiliated with the council, along with union-
ized businesses in the community — is in its 74th year. The party is held at the Elsinore Theatre
in downtown Salem. This year, children sang holiday songs with Sylvester, a member of Musi-
cians Local 99, watched Christmas shows, and met Santa Claus (played by Jack Rusen of Al-
bany Steelworkers Local 6163, pictured below). Afterward, everyone received a goody bag
filled with union-made products purchased at unionized Fred Meyer (bottom photo).
