Yesterday I attended the grand opening of the Santiam Senior Center, at the invitation of Greg McWayne, president of the center’s non-profit organization. The new center is housed in a space provided by the Stayton Cooperative Telephone Company (SCTC), for a whopping $1 a year. [...]
I took the opportunity to snap a photo of Stayton Fire District’s fire chief, Jack Carriger, a couple of weeks ago at the 2009 Santa Cruise. I am huge fan of firefighters, since both of my brothers were volunteers at the department, and the department saved my house last year after it was set on [...]
Just a friendly reminder today to remember those who are less fortunate this holiday season. Giving food or monetary donations to your local community food bank is good karma.
Stayton’s food bank recently moved into a bigger building on 2nd Ave. to better serve the community’s needs. If you can help defray the Food Bank’s rent, [...]

Saturday was this year’s Holiday Craft Bazaar, held at Stayton Middle School. There were a lot of booths, a lot of people, and I have a small amount of photos to show for it. Check ‘em out at my Flickr photoset from the bazaar.
Thanks to those who allowed me [...]

Today is the second part of my photos from the 2009 Santa Cruise classic car show and toy drive held at the Stayton Fire Department on Saturday. Yesterday I posted photos of the toys, so today I’m focusing on the cars.
It was quite cold during the car show, so [...]
The 19th Annual Santa Cruise, a fundraiser for the Stayton Fire Department’s Toys For Joy program, was held on Saturday morning. I did my best to take photos, but it was extremely cold (sub-freezing), so I didn’t get as many as I would have liked. I heard there were well over 200 hundred cars. Not [...]
Today is this month’s City Daily Photo theme day, with the theme “Waiting.” I felt a photo of a Salvation Army bell ringer to be appropriate for the theme, since these volunteers ring their bells and wait for donations, often in the cold, as it was yesterday when I took this photo. Check out the [...]
I mentioned this the other day, but wanted to highlight it again because I feel it deserves more attention. Please note: I’m not affiliated with the station, I just want to see it get back on the air.
The FCC recently shut down KENC Radio, a community-based radio station here in Stayton which was run by [...]
Today marks the eighth anniversary of the September 11th terrorist attacks in New York City and the Pentagon, plus the downed plane in Pennsylvania. I’m ashamed to say the date sneaked up on me… it wasn’t until late last night when I was typing in the date on another post that I remembered.
I’ve noticed that [...]

Last night was the final concert in the summer concert series put on by Ken Cartwright of KENC Community Radio and Cartwright’s Music Repair Shop, and sponsored by Monte’s Coins & More and the Stayton Parks and Recreation department.
Singer Tracy Reynolds performed several of her songs of her CD [...]

Last night was another free outdoor concert at Pioneer Park, sponsored by KENC Community Radio, Ken Cartwright’s music repair shop, and Monte’s Coins. Performing were Joe Stoddard and JR & The Farm, as a trio. It was fun with lots of good music, laughs, and only a few drops [...]

I visited the Santiam Historical Society on 2nd Ave. last year (which I spread out over two days — day 1 and day 2, and I’d been meaning to go back ever since. Yesterday, I happened to pass by it when it was open, so I finally had that [...]

As promised yesterday, here are the photos from the free outdoor concert held at Pioneer Park on August 4th. Performing were the local chapter of the Oregon Old Time Fiddlers Association with Dale Emery. Ken Cartwright (shown above, left, with Dale Emery), who put together the show, also performed [...]
Note: today’s photos are from the National Night Out. Tomorrow’s post will be for the free concert held at Pioneer Park. I need more time to process those photos.

Last night was this year’s National Night Out, which is a crime and drug prevention event, plus it’s chance for [...]
