The Pig is on the Auction Block

Posted on March 10, 2012 by admin

The Silverton Block Watch Association is auctioning off their Silverton Pig right now. This pig was bought in 2000 for $1000,00 and then spent $500.00 for an artist to make the pig into a Train. The pig has been at the Silverton Train station at Montgomery Rd and Parkview lane ever since. It is still in good condition, just needs some TLC. The Train pig also has an electric light that will light the way. The Village of Silverton got a grant to do some landscaping at Memorial sites in Silverton, one being at the train station, so we decided to go with another look. This pig would look good in a lot of locations, restaurants being one of them. The minimum bid is $500.00. The cost of a plain pig in 2012 is $3,500.00, without adding any art to it. Right now you can go on www.HAMILTONCOUNTYOHIOAUCTION.COM and make your bid. Look under Collectibles to find the Silverton pig. The bid will end on April 1st and the highest bidder will have to wait until the ground is hard and solid to remove. This will give you time to get the property your going to put the pig on, ready.

Posted on January 29, 2012 by admin

The January meeting is Monday, the 30th, 7pm at the Fire Department. Our guest speaker will be Lt. Milt Proctor of the Deer Park Police Dept. Milt is a black belt in Karate and will discuss Self Defense and show you some techniques. Should be an action packed meeting so come on out. Ofc. Ryan Faehr will discuss crime in Silverton during December. Door prizes at the end of the meeting.

Update:  If you didn’t make it to the January Block Watch meeting, you missed a good one. Officer Jim Replogle held a short meeting and turned it over to Officer Ryan Faehr who told members about the crime in Silverton during January which was very interesting. Then Lt. Milt Proctor from Deer Park Pd who is a black belt talked to members about Self Defense. We had door prizes at the end of the meeting. Come on out to the next meeting on Feb. 27th and you can pick up the information, Block Watch schedule etc. I am working with Lt. Proctor to set up a Self Defense class, since members asked him about it and he told me he would do it. If your interested, contact Officer Jim Replogle.  56 guests were in attendance tonight; come out and join us!!!
