Condon commer cial club was third, the Wrang lers of Hermlston was fourtn and the Umatilla Ordnance depot was fifth. The Hermlston Chamber won $10 and each of the others received One of the local floats that attracted a (treat deal of spec tator interest and attention was that of the American Legion which featured servicemen from various branches of the armed forces from World War I through the current conflict In Vietnam. There were probably more floats in this parade than In anv for many years. Chairman Randall Peterson commented on the fact that four of the entries this year were of the "sell-pro pel led " variety a new nign. All of them were from out of town, indicating again that friends In neighboring cities contribute a great deal to the success of the event. Crowds along the line of march must have been one of the largest in recent history. Business Entries Mused The only thing missing in the parade this year was entries from businesses. For the first time, no awards were made in the business category because no floats were entered from bus inesses. However, a number of firms entered farm machinery, some of which were truly impressive. Lewis Cason. Heppner old- timer, was grand marshal and followed the colors in the line of march, leading the parade. Behind him were hundreds oi others mounted in the saddle, together with the floats, bands, marching groups, and other en tries of the unique or comic var iety. Three bands performed, In cluding the snappy lone High school band, which took first place and $15. Heppners school band, composed of both elemen tary and grade school students and a few adults, received sec ond and $10. Arnle Hedman dir ected the band, which has been working for about two weeks for the appearance after not being represented last year.
