TOW: Lowering vehicles back onto
the ground even more of a headache
Continued from 1A
After nearly two years of
engagement, Tyler Brown
and Katy O’Flaherty were
married Friday during a spe-
cial inclusion in the Happy
Canyon Night Show.

us and not 10 years down the
road going ‘Why didn’t we
just have a real wedding?’”
O’Flaherty said. “(They)
made it a lot easier to open
my mind to it.”
Jones and the rest of the
Happy Canyon board tried to
keep the wedding a secret as
close to the show as possible,
but publicity director Corey
Neistadt said “keeping it a
secret was like trying to keep
jets a secret on Round-Up
Saturday.”
Still, much of the audi-
ence, in addition to Brown
and O’Flaherty’s guests,
were unaware of the wedding
until it happened Friday
night. After the hick band
drew laughs from the crowd,
the announcer introduced the
soon-to-be-wed couple.
“Back in 1915, a couple
was married as part of the
Happy Canyon show,” he
said. “Tonight we are going
to honor that tradition 101
years later, and ask you to
join us in celebrating the
70s
National Summary: Showers and rough seas will brush the Carolina and Texas coasts today.
Showers and thunderstorms will extend from the southern Plains to the Great Lakes. Clouds
and showers will cool part of the Northwest.
WEDDING: Couple met at Blue Mountain Community College
kind of neat that in the signif-
icant year I’m a big part of
it.”
The only practice the
couple had took place a week
prior, during a dress rehearsal
with some of the show
actors. According to Brown,
their wedding was rehearsed
as much as any other part of
Happy Canyon, but the one
thing they couldn’t simulate
was the crowd.
“He’s so used to being in
the show it was nothing to
him,” O’Flaherty said. “But
I think at rehearsal it kind
of hit me like, ‘OK, those
stands are probably going to
be full.’ The nerves hit me as
I walked out for rehearsal.”
But as it turned out, the
wedding went smoothly.
Joined by three bridesmaids
and groomsmen, their oldest
daughter and lower girl,
Ava, Katy’s father, Tracy, and
a full frontier town of actors,
the couple were married by
Reverend Roger Harwerth of
the Pendleton First Presbyte-
rian Church. Brown and his
father, Jeff, got in touch with
the centennial Round-Up
directors and were able to
wear their tombstone black
dress coats for the groom and
groomsmen.
“It went off without a
hitch,” Brown said after-
ward.
The couple met at Blue
Mountain
Community
College through mutual
friends.
They’ve
been
engaged for nearly two
years, but when their second
daughter Macy was born,
O’Flaherty’s efforts to plan a
wedding were halted. It was
around that time that Rob
Burnside, a Happy Canyon
director of eight years, and
his wife, Ann, approached the
couple with an idea to have
a Happy Canyon wedding.
O’Flaherty was hesitant at
60s
wedding of a couple Happy
Canyon volunteers.”
O’Flaherty had 25 family
and friends make the trip
from her hometown Bell-
ingham, Washington, while
Brown’s extended family
of 15 came from Jordan
Valley. In addition to their
wedding Friday, Brown and
O’Flaherty plan to have
receptions in Pendleton and
Bellingham for those who
couldn’t attend.
As
their
whirlwind
wedding came to a close, a
horse-drawn wagon pulled
up to the set. O’Flaherty and
Brown stepped in, circled
the arena a couple times and
rode off the set into history,
staking claim as only the
second ever couple to be wed
at Happy Canyon.
It might be another 100
years before Happy Canyon
hosts another.

with the owners irst, but if
all else fails, Clark will load
them up on the back of his
trailer and haul them to one
of several city lots where
they can be picked up later
— free of charge.
Most people leave their
cars because they don’t want
to drink and drive, Clark
said. That’s a big reason why
Blue Mountain Towing, in
partnership with the city,
does not charge impound
fees leading up to the parade.
Clark said they don’t want
to punish anyone for being
safe.
Still, the show must
go on.
“Everybody wants a
parade,” Clark said.
The air is chilly while
Clark makes his early
morning laps, dressed in a
black cowboy hat and dark
leather jacket. His backup
includes Dave Lindell, of
Lindell’s Auto Salvage,
and Tanner Bellamy, both
of whom drive around in
separate trucks. They meet
up for Cowboy Breakfast at
Stillman Park, and igure out
how they will divvy up the
route.
“We don’t really want to
tow cars,” Lindell said. “We
want the cars to move on
their own. They aren’t all
going to move on their own,
so we move them for free.”
Clark decides to focus
on a stretch of Southwest
Dorion Avenue outside of
Mac’s Bar and Grill. He
lips on his truck’s lashing
yellow lights and meets with
a Pendleton police oficer,
who directs him to vehicles
that need moved. He hums
the theme to “Mission:
Impossible” as he hops out
of his rig.
Towing parked cars can
be tricky, since there is no
one to unlock the vehicles,
no one to put them in neutral
and no one to steer. But Clark
has a few tricks up his sleeve.
After hooking up his chains
and winch, he hammers
plastic “skates” beneath the
wheels and squirts a healthy
dose of dish soap onto the
trailer to make the surface
extra slick.
Lowering vehicles back
onto the ground is even more
of a headache. All Clark has
is gravity on his side, but he
is able to gently slide them
down into the lot without a
scratch.
“I can do surgery with this
truck,” he says with a grin.
As the parade draws near,
Clark must move quickly
while also watching out for
spectators and carriages in
the street. He is careful not to
spook the horses, a thought
which makes him uneasy.
After several hours,
Clark is sweating hard and
ready for a nap. Yet despite
the odd hours and heavy
lifting, Clark said he would
go insane working a regular
desk job.
“This is what I’m good
at,” he said. “Everything I do
is to help people.”
By the time Clark tows
his ifth and inal vehicle
of the morning, a crowd of
spectators has lined the street
and cheers him on. He rolls
down his window and trades
jokes with people who give
him a wave or a shout.
“Let’s have a parade!” he
hollers back.
