Crowds swell at Umatilla County Fair at night
Man charged with
harassing Yellowstone
bison to stay in jail
By JADE MCDOWELL
East Oregonian
During fair week, the
Umatilla
County
fair-
grounds are at their liveliest
after dark.
Children dart through
clusters of parents waiting
for their own child to disem-
bark from a spinning space-
ship ride. Couples wan-
der hand in hand. Groups
of teenagers ebb and flow
as they catch up on summer
gossip.
On the east end of the
grounds the night sky is lit
up by floodlights trained
on the rodeo grounds, the
announcer’s play by play
of each ride echoing over
the barns and lines for the
zip-line. To the west, the
sounds of the night’s con-
cert provide a soundtrack
for the commercial and food
vendors.
On Wednesday night it
was only down to 85 degrees
by 9 p.m. but people were
out enjoying the relative
break from the heat.
Sean Griggs of Hermis-
ton was standing outside a
ride with his two young sons
in a stroller as he waited for
his daughter to get off a ride.
“We usually go in the
evening when it’s a little
cooler for the kids,” he said.
The children had gotten
curly fries and corn dogs for
dinner when they got there,
and he said they would
probably get an elephant ear
before they went home.
Mallory Mulcare of
Hermiston said she had been
at the fair all day, but there
was “like no one here” from
noon to about 3 p.m. when it
was well over 100 degrees.
She said since she is preg-
nant she can’t do much
rides-wise this year, but she
enjoyed walking around and
seeing people and eating the
fair food.
“My favorite are the fruit
cups and elephant ears,” she
said.
In the barns several
young families were stopped

by the various animal pens,
allowing the children to pet
a sheep or look at the rab-
bits. Kyla Larson, who
shows animals in the small
animal barn, said while 4-H
and FFA youth are busy
washing and caring for their
animals throughout the day,
they tend to have more of an
audience for their animals at
night.
“It usually speeds up in
the small animal barn,” she
said. “A lot of people bring
their little kids.”
Some people showing
animals head back home for
dinner or spend some time in
the RV camping area then,
but Larson said the ones
who stick around sometimes
let the kids hold their rabbit.
On the other side of the
fairgrounds, behind the
event center, country singer
Ned Ledoux was on stage.
There are reserved seats
available for each fair con-
cert, but those who don’t
want to pay for a ticket can
sit on the bleachers behind
the reserved section or stand
nearby to catch a song or
two before continuing on to
other parts of the fair.
Taylor Betz and Bob
Coleman of Hermiston were
Page 3A
standing near the bleach-
ers watching the perfor-
mance Wednesday shortly
before 10 p.m. as Ledoux
finished a ballad and
launched into a cover of his
father Chris Ledoux’s song
“Copenhagen.”
Coleman said he likes the
fair better at night, because
it’s less hot and the con-
certs are going. He listens
to Ledoux’s music at home,
and he and Betz said they
were enjoying the show.
“It’s funning being able
to hear him on iTunes and
on the radio, and then in per-
son,” Betz said.
Parking and traffic were
complaints about the fair
last year, but at 9 p.m. on
Wednesday there was no
line at the gate and plenty
of open parking. By 10 p.m.
traffic was trickling from
the rodeo and fair parking
but was moving at a steady
pace out of the grounds and
onto Airport Road, then onto
Highway 395, where police
had set up cones and vehi-
cles to create a way to turn
right onto the road without
stopping.
