Radabaugh is hoping

The theft took place

The loss is estimated
at about $10,000, which
includes the $4,000
trailer, a $4,000 genera-
tor that was taken and
other items collected over
the years for the annual
Youth Trail Ride.
There were two 10-by-
20-foot awnings, a pop-
up awning, folding chairs,
ÞáÖ ßÖÛÒÝ âÜÓ×ÒÝã ❰ÐäÓÖÛå
six wooden tables, donat-
ed cowboy boots, a spare
❰ÒßÖå ÞáÖ æçèéÖßÛÜÝ ❰ÖÝ❰Ûå
coolers and other items.
Radabaugh said some of
the supplies were destroyed
ÒÝ ❰ÏÖ ÞßÖå äÚ❰ ÛÏÖ äÖÓÒÖáÖÛ
many were stolen before
the trailer was burned.
The trailer was cov-
ered by liability insurance
only.
“We have the funds to
replace it,” Radabaugh
said of the loss, but that’s
not the point, she empha-
sizes.
“It’s the posse, it’s the
kids, it’s the community.
Everything bought was
from the community or
from us cooking around
with the chuckwagon,”
she said.
Volunteers work tire-
lessly throughout the year
to raise money to fund the
trail ride and to keep the
cost at $2 each for partic-
ipants ages 12 to 15. The

in 1964, and this year’s
event will not be ham-
pered by the criminals
who took the equipment
that the volunteers have
worked so hard to acquire
over the years, Rada-
baugh said
“Insurance and the
horses are our major ex-
penses,” she said. “Even if
it takes every last penny,
we will have the trail ride
in June.
“It just will be a lot
more extra work for all
the volunteers,” she said.
Posse volunteers can
be found in their chuck-
wagon selling hamburg-
ers during events such
as the Hells Canyon
Motorcycle Rally, the
Baker City Bronc & Bull
Riding events during
Miners Jubilee and the
Demolition Derby. They
solicit donations from
businesses throughout
the county during the
year and most years they
also sponsor a gun show
during the Thanksgiving
weekend.
Radabaugh said the
organization has even
considered writing to
talk show host Ellen De-
Generes, who is known
for funding charitable
causes, to see if she’d be
willing to help the posse
