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. '
