One can gets you on board buggy-ride food drive. Children approached the horse and buggy team half with wonder and half with hesitation before boarding the carriage for a ride through Old Town Silverdale on Saturday. Spectators smiled and waved with a friendliness that could have come from a horse and buggy ride a century ago. The rides will also be offered from noon to 4 p.m. this Saturday.
Admission is one can of food.
Tom Pehrson said Saturday's rides were pretty steady with parents and children and people just seeking a refuge from holiday shopping madness. This wasn't the first time the Pehrsons have driven the horse team through Old Town. Lin Ulin, owner of Hatti Lin's Collections, said the group got the idea from last year's harvest festival. The Silverdale Old Town Association and retail businesses in the area sponsored the team for a similar food drive. All the children knew the names of the horses.
