A16 OFF PAGE ONE 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 Blazing Fast Internet!
