The event begins Friday night at 6 p.m. in the indoor arena. It’s free, but a GOSS: Former county resident to play piano rock show at OK Theatre Continued from Page A1 Venues vary depending on the time of year. “Sum- mertime is full of fairs, and they’re multi-day deals, which keeps me real busy. I’m playing fairs in Yakima, Washington and even as far away as Fresno, California. The only danger is getting burnout, but I keep my mind set against that,” he said.” Winter gigs include American Legion, Eagles Lodges and performing arts centers and rural theaters. “Rural theaters pay super good and they dig up guys like me without a record la- bel. You may not draw peo- ple on your own, but people will come to see whatever is there,” Goss said. The piano man promises a rock n roll extravaganza, playing a history of the mu- sic from Jerry Lee Lewis to The Eagles and Prince. “I don’t have a lot of original material because I’ve been so busy working, when I get home, I don’t feel like picking up the guitar and forcing out original materi- al,” he said. Goss hopes to take time off from perform- ing this spring and work on original material. Goss’ band consists of a drummer, bass player, lead guitar player and himself, and Goss is excited to let his audience see what he has to offer. “I know I can put on a hell of a live show if the au- dience is into it,” Goss said. Goss’ show starts at 7 p.m. with doors opening at 6 p.m. Tickets are available at Wallowa Food City, Dollar Stretcher, Lear’s and tick- etsWest.com. $5 donation to the Max Walk- er Memorial Scholarship Fund would be nice. • Friday and Saturday events: Everything from the Classic Jump-Off Challenge to Team Roping to Log Pulls to the Fat Ass Express to the hilarious Packer’s Scramble with green mules to be packed. • Saturday Parade, begin- ning at 11 a.m. at the fair- grounds and circling through downtown Enterprise and back. This is a top photo op- portunity for mule fans. The parade Grand Mar- shals this year are Dennis and Peggy Brennan, long-term Mule Days supporters and fourth-generation Wallowa Countians. Among his many claims to fame, Dennis was the last person to win the Jour- neyman Farrier competition at Mule Days — a competition wherein a fellow had 15 sec- onds to look at a hoof and then IRUJHDVKRHWR¿WLW The Brennans have two mules, Moses and Ben. Peg- gy Brennan, who is just as “famous” as Dennis, rides for ¿YH GLIIHUHQW UDQFKHUV LQ WKH area and rotates between the mules and her good horse, Nick.

Kids 4 to 9 years of age compete to win a blue ribbon and special awards. • Saturday evening: Fin- ger-lickin’ eats and some good country music are available at the Max Walker Memorial Scholarship Pit BBQ Dinner at 5 p.m. ($10).
