The Buena Park community gathered at Peak Park over the weekend for the always popular Silverado Days.
The three-day festival hosted by the Buena Park Noon Lions Club is in its 68th year and packs the lineup each year with fun things to do. There were contests such as pie-eating and hula hooping and the baby classic and mutt show; bands played all weekend, there were games and carnival rides, tons to eat and more.
Silverado Days is a big fundraiser for the Lions Club, helping it with its philanthropic work and giving all year long.
