A day of fun in Buffalo Bill and Dr. Jo return
Eagle Valley
■ Celebrate community Saturday, June 19
RICHLAND — This year’s
version of Eagle Valley Day on
Saturday, June 19, will be themed
“Built in America.”
The goal is to celebrate commu-
nity.
“Everyone had rough year with
COVID and so many things were
postponed or cancelled. We need to
build a lot of things back up and
the best way we as a community
can do that is by working together,”
said Tammy Graven.
All events will be Eagle Valley
Grange Community Park.
The day begins at 8 a.m. with
Ralph Graven hosting “Coffee
and Doughnuts with the Grange
Master.”
Donations will be accepted all
proceeds going to purchase new
trees for the park.
“We have a few areas that could
really do with some trees,” Tammy
said.
The donation jar will be avail-
able throughout the day.
Ken and Colleen Booth are orga-
nizing the parade, which begins at
10 a.m.

a car show, but those with vintage
cars, tractors or any type of vehicle
— motorized or not — is welcome
to join the parade.
Entries are encouraged to stop at
the park so community members
can tour through the park entries.
“There will be a designated space
for them,” Colleen Booth said.
There is no pre-registration for
the parade. Entries can starting

Art in the Park still has room for
more vendors. Those who would
like to set up a table can call Abby
Graven at 541-519-8868. There is
no charge.
The Grange will be hosting a
yard sale table and proceeds will
go toward park maintenance
expenses.
“We have hired the FFA kids
to mow and keep it trimmed and
groomed,” said Tammy.
The pie contest will be back and
entries need to be at the Eagle
Valley Grange kitchen by noon on
Saturday.
Please bake two pies — one for
the auction and one for the judges
to taste.
There will be fi rst, second and
third place winners and there will
be cash prizes.
The treats will be auctioned by
Mib Dailey.

contest — pies just for the auction
are welcome, too.
