KISS' Tommy Thayer To Grand Marshall Beaverton Celebration Parade
August 25, 2010, 14 years ago
According to Portlandmercury.com, legendary guitarist for both KISS and BLACK 'N BLUE, Tommy Thayer will be in town this weekend, acting as grand marshal of the Beaverton Celebration Parade. The parade starts at 10 am, and winds from SW Allen Boulevard through Beaverton's allegedly historic downtown.
Although he's based in LA, the 1978 graduate of Beaverton's Sunset High gets back to Oregon frequently to party with his family and unwind at his gorgeous beach house on the Oregon Coast with his even more gorgeous wife, Amber. When not on axe duty or grand marshalling, Thayer keeps busy with charity work: He's on the board of trustees of Pacific University in Forest Grove and hosts its Legends Golf Classic, and also participates in I Have a Dream and Make-a-Wish fundraisers, supporting underprivileged children and school band programs.
