Silver Rail families honored at Bend photo event

More than 500 people gathered at Alpenglow Park in Bend on November 7 for a community photography event supporting families affected by last month’s Silver Rail Elementary shooting. Volunteer photographers provided free photo sessions for 120 families, while local businesses contributed gifts, clothing gift cards and refreshments. Photographer Kylla Miller organized the gathering to offer encouragement and help families create lasting memories as they continue to heal.
