Wallowa County Chieftain
Parade:
during a parade in the past.
“My dad being Smokey
the Bear,” she remembered.
While most people in
Wallowa were celebrat-
ing their freedoms during
the parade, Pine Street was
decked out with tents that
featured vendors looking
to sell various products,
including soaps, ice cream
and wooden chairs.
For Roger Curtis, who
was selling rope products
for various trucks for the
fi rst time at the parade, busi-
ness went well but he wasn’t
just there to sell his product.
“A lot of it is I’m just get-
ting people to see my prod-
ucts,” Curtis said. “Half
the people that talk to me,
they’ve seen them online,
they’ve seen them on You-
Tube, but they’ve never
seen them in person.”
The parade continued to
feature fi re trucks, revving
cars and trucks to the dis-
may of some of the sensi-
tive listeners in the crowd,
and a fl oat that previewed
the Tamkaliks celebration at
the end of this month from
the Wallowa Band of the
Nez Perce Tribe.
But after almost an hour
of candy, cheers and cars
burning rubber, every part
of the parade had turned left
onto North Storie Street,
and the parade came to a
close.
Viewers and their fami-
lies packed up their chairs,
and others went to the Wal-
lowa Fire Department build-
ing for food and live music.
For those spectating at
the annual Wallowa County
Fourth of July Parade this
year, some think the Fourth
of July means hanging out
and having a good time, oth-
ers see it as a time to honor
those who have served our
country and others think it
means freedom.
Wayne Larson from
Aloha thinks that the hol-
iday which recognizes the
day in which the Founding
Fathers signed the Declara-
tion of Independence carries
with it a simple message.
“It makes me proud to be
an American,” he said.
Continued from Page A1
As the parade began
to kick off , one of the fi rst
attractions was the “Gram-
mie” marshal of the parade
Ruby Frazier rolling through
in a drop-top 1968 blue Cor-
vette. She kept gently wav-
ing above the windshield to
the spectators, family and
friends.
Various golf carts, ATVs
and tractors decked out
bumper to bumper in red,
white, and blue started
down the road and began
to throw out candy as eager
kids swarmed to the side
of the road to snag a loose
Tootsie Roll or lollipop.
This seems to be some-
thing that the adults enjoy
as well, as Michael Mas-
ters, from Bend, who was
watching the parade with
his nieces and nephews,
mentioned.
“It’s fun to point out the
cars and watch the kids get
the candy,” he said. “It’s a
good thing to hang out with
family.”
Just two years ago, the
parade was unoffi cially
run after being canceled
during the COVID-19 pan-
demic. Now, even though
the streets were lined with
chairs, Laura Ledgett, who
took part in the 2020 parade,
believed the turnout wasn’t
the best they’d ever seen.
“It was smaller than
usual, I think because of the
weather,” she said, “but it
still give me goosebumps.”
Others like Cole Grants
from Enterprise were a lit-
tle more shocked by the
turnout.
“I was surprised so many
people showed up,” he said.
The parade kept roll-
ing on with classic cars,
horses, motorcycles and
even Smokey Bear made an
appearance on top of a U.S.
Forest Service fi re truck.
Sarah Franke sat outside
of her house in Wallowa
to watch the festivities and
recollected one of her favor-
ite memories from this point
