The City of Vernon played super host to a record-breaking convention.
Close to 300 representatives of municipal governments attended the annual Southern Interior Local Government Association (SILGA) annual convention, held in Vernon April 25-28 at the Prestige Vernon Lodge.
That blew away the previous mark of around 220 attendees.
“The weather was great, food was great, people were great,” said Vernon Mayor Victor Cumming just prior to the convention’s end Friday.
