CELEBRATION IS
BIG SUCCESS
Vyith some 12,000 visitors in
attendance, Ashland's July 4 cele­
bration proved to be a big success
from beginning to end.
Attention of the crowds was
first focused on the derby racers
as they came hurtling down Pio­
neer avenue. Here in the final heat
Donald Randles' "Skidoo" carried
him to victory and a chance to
compete in the state-wide derby
at Portland
In the parade which followed,
Fortmiller's float, three baenmg
beauties in red, white and blue
against a background of glisten­
ing white, drew the grand prize
honors with the Elks float win­
ning first prize. The Full Gospel
entry was second and the Daugh­
ters of Union Veterans won third
place.
The Trail Riders rodeo drew a
near-capacity crowd of 2,700 for
afternoon performance and about
1,500 for the evening show. Floyd
Moore of Ashland was the winner
of the $75 stock saddle in close
competition with his brother, Ira
Moore, and Stan Cooley in the
ride-off climaxing the evening
performance.
The fireworks and celebration
dance helped to round out a big
day for everyone.
Although final auditing has not
been completed, the committee re­
ports that in addition to the gen­
eral success of the day, the re­
turns indicate it to have been a
financial success as well.
