Serving the communities of Stayton, Sublimity, Aumsville, Lyons and Mehama
I still remember when I found out that my family had been part of Stayton since the very beginning of the town’s existence. One beautiful summer day I was having lunch with my friend, Olivia, at the Gardner House checking out some photos of A.D. Gardner and the early foundation of what would become Stayton, Ore.
Very rapidly I am becoming an old maid because all of my friends are getting married. Normally I’d be worried, but instead I couldn’t be happier for them, because weddings mean – well weddings! And parties and manifestations of romantic love, most recently the charming “high school sweetheart” variety that is so incredibly endearing. Since I came home from school this summer, I have attended three weddings, two of which were the one-month-apart weddings of sisters I went to school with who both married guys they met while at Scio High.
Opal Creek, Fisherman’s Flats, Three-Fingered Jack – all local points of interest and most recently names given to rooms at the newly renovated lodge at Detroit Lake.
