Illinois Valley News, Cave Junction, Ore. Wednesday, October 11, 2017 Page A-5 Happy Camp News: by Judy E. Bushy Happy Birthday Stella! Happy Camp residents are ready to celebrate the 151st birthday of Stella Walthall Patterson the author of “Dear Mad’m” at the Siskiyou Museum in Yreka Oct. 14, at 1 p.m. “Dear Mad’m” has been kept in print since 1982 by Barbara Brown, publisher of “Naturegraph” books in Happy Camp. “Dear Mad’m,” the first known book dealing with modern life on the Klamath River on its most isolated stretches. It is most likely the easiest book to read about the Klamath. Patterson of Clear Creek died in Redding Dec. 23, 1955 at 89 with what must have been a fine feeling of accomplishment. Patterson also wrote stories for national women’s magazines from 1890 to 1934. Bigfoot a big success! Happy Camp’s biggest celebration of the year is the Bigfoot Jamboree. In September, we celebrated the 51st annual event. All the fun began Friday night before Labor Day - the Bigfoot Queen, Kara Brink, was crowned and danced with her dad as an escort. Jessica Lantow was crowned the 2017 Junior Queen of the Bigfoot Jamboree and also won a second place prize for the parade. The Junior Princesses were Emily Mattson and Abigail Rhodes, and the Bigfoot Princess was Nikki Harrison. These gals worked very hard selling raffle tickets for the support of the Bigfoot Jamboree. And there were many generous donations from the community and businesses to make many great prizes available for the raffle. Then, the rest of the evening was full of music at the River Park. There was a karaoke competition and dancing under the stars over the pavilion and vendors made many goodies for the hungry and other offerings. The children especially enjoyed the spraying “string,” swords lit in the evening darkness, and toys to delight one and all. Saturday the fun resumed with additional food booths and activities. Included was a free tot fun area and an obstacle course activity for children. Plus, the big bounce house gave older children lots of exercise along with an inflatable slide into the water that kept them active and cool. There had been 20 lightning fires in the Klamath National Forest, and a firefighter city was set up at the east end of River Park in Happy Camp. Some of the Fire Design T-Shirt vendors also set up at the Bigfoot Jamboree. At the Happy Camp Chamber booth, Dan Sheets, handyman, artist and carver drew an appreciative audience to watch him carve three bears enjoying a honey comb. He also had walking sticks with a rattlesnake or medicine man on them. Sunday, before everyone went to the River Park again, there was the parade. Traditionally, it starts at the Market-Post Office area on Davis Road. This year the Kingfisher Market parking lot was full of a variety of vehicles, Smokey Bear, and of course a caged Bigfoot, ready to begin the parade at 11 a.m. George and Casey Chambers were the Grand Marshals for this year’s parade. For many years, George Chambers was the Pizza House owner. He brought Casey to Happy Camp as a newlywed and teacher and recently she retired as principal and supervisor of Happy Camp Elementary School. The best nonprofit float was “The Dancing Toes.” The children on the float have been taking dancing lessons, some for three and four years. They presented a recital at the River Park Pavilion Saturday and they were in the parade on Sunday. They were delightful! Second place float was a group of traditional Karuk dancers of all ages in memorial to Vera. Also in the parade there were a variety of firefighting vehicles and ambulances. Bigfoot kept getting out of his cage, but he wasn’t scary and got hugs from some of the crowd and snapshots by others. Returning to the Happy Camp River Park Pavilion, there were raffle drawings and the Bigfoot Queen, Kara and Junior Queen drew the tickets with chainsaws and big checks being some of the big prizes. Many more tickets were drawn for gift certificates for gas and groceries to trips and outings for families to enjoy. Then, of course there was the Ducky Derby, Jerry from Incident Command won the prize for the fastest duck to the finish- line. He generously donated the prize back to the Bigfoot Jamboree for next year, planned for Aug. 31 to Sept. 2. Residents were encouraged to put on their “thinking hats” and plan a float or fun booth or activity for next year.
