By 1974, girls were added to the competition, and the program has continued to grow ever since. The competition to become a champion is rugged but rewarding.

Families of finalists on the state, regional and national levels attend the competition as guests of the Elks, and are encouraged to play an active part throughout the contest. One girl from IGrande has gone to the national finals two times, winning all the marbles one year and she came in second the next year. It is possible for anyone to win, Swanson said. "Please come to lone or Heppner January 22 from 9 to II a m and watch our young people compete." Swanson said. For more information, contact Swanson or Holland.
