This is our night to celebrate their accomplishments and hear their stories, as well as get a few autographs! You'll have to search far and wide to find cards of Frank Snook, Rick Bladt, Ford "Moon" Mullin and Roger Hambright, but bring them in and get them signed that night. Pre-Registered Boy and Girl Scouts that bring their gear are invited to stay the night on the field following the game. It's Salem Hospital's Silverton Community Night as well.
