The Whiskey Gulch Gang was also in attendance.
They arrived with a bang by shooting their trademark
cannon in the middle of Main Street to the surprise of
many parade watchers.
The John Day Volunteer Fire Department was on
hand in its famous vintage fire truck, complete with
working lights and a siren. Smokey Bear made his
second parade appearance in as many days (he was
also at the Kids Parade on Friday), this time riding
in a Forest Service fire truck.
Making an appearance on horseback were Prin-
cess Macy Carter, Princess Raney Anderson and
Queen Riley Robertson of the Grant County Fair
and Rodeo Court. Rowdy Israel of Dayville, the
Oregon High School Rodeo Queen and Elgin Stam-
pede Queen, also rode in the parade.
Area 4-H clubs were well-represented. A contin-
gent of 4-H members rode on horseback led by a
club flag bearer, and Dayville’s 4-H club rode in
the back of a pickup truck.
The parade was led a Grant County Sheriff’s
Office patrol SUV, followed by a rider on horse-
back carrying the American flag.

JOHN DAY — The 113th Grant
County Fair went off without a hitch last
week, kicked off on Wednesday, Aug.
10, and winding down Saturday, Aug.
13.
However, long before the gates
swung open at the county’s fairgrounds,
4-H and FFA students were hustling
inside the Heritage Barn to get their
livestock ready for the multiple shows
hosted at the fairgrounds.
Between grooming, feeding and
working with their animals daily, bring-
ing their animals to the county fair each
year represents a culmination of months
of hard work for the students.
An ag-based community, Grant
County has a longtime tradition of local
4-H/FFA students raising livestock to
compete for ribbons at the shows and
then ultimately sell at the Youth Live-
stock Auction at the Grant County
Fairgrounds.
Macy Carter, 16, of the Izee Live-
stock club, who showed her market
steer Friday, Aug. 12, at the 4H/FFA
beef showmanship exhibition, said the
months-long process, though stressful at
times, is worth it in that it teaches skills
that can be used in the workplace.
Preston Boethin, 17, of the Izee Live-
stock Club, added that there was a sense
of relief once his steer was moved into
the barn and settled.
“It’s kind of like you’ve made it,” he
said.
Monel Anderson, 15, of the Izee
Livestock Club, said that moment of
getting the steer to the fair brings a huge
sense of accomplishment as it’s some-
thing they have been working toward all
year.
“It’s a really exciting time,” she said.
