Queen Lottie Laughlin
A true home grown county
resident with royalty deep in
her roots makes Lottie
Laughlin, queen of the Mor
row County Fair and Rodeo, a
perfect choice. Queen Ixttie
was born and raised on Hinton
Creek just out of Heppner. The
daughter of Rob (Butch) and
Judy Laughlin. the family now
resides in Heppner. She has an
older sister, Tamie, living in
Mosier and a brother, Shane,
who just graduated from Hep
pner High School.
Riding horses was as natu
ral to IvOttie as riding a bike.
Her love of horses was in
fluenced by her Aunt Colleen
and Uncle Don Greenup. She
started riding when she was
four on her first pony, Blue
Mist. As Lottie grew her rid
ing mounts changed as well.
They included a buckskin
named Buck, a horse called
Bubbies Powder Face and
Goldie. a palomino mare. Her
present horse, BoJo, is a
five-year-old sorrel.
She joined 411 and Wrang
lers and competed in their
shows and placed in the rib
bons. She loves to ride on the
Greenup ranch on Hinton
Creek where she has become a
good hand.

The 5'7" brown-eyed beauty
is carrying on a tradition in
her family as well as for the
Morrow County Fair and
Rodeo. She is the seventh
member of her family to
represent royalty in Morrow
County. The heritage dates
back to 1925 as Lottie's aunt,
Mae Kilkenny, was queen. She
was followed by cousin Peggy
Kilkenny, a princess in 1937,
her aunt, Colleen Kilkenny
Greenup, queen in 1945,
cousins Tag Greenup Ashbeck
and Sue Ellen Greenup were
both princesses in 1964 and
1968 respectively, and in 1976
another aunt, Janie Spaulding
Ansotegui, was a princess.
Queen Lottie's first expo
sure to the court was as a
pennant bearer for the Mor
row County Rodeo for four
years. She enjoyed it so
much she decided to try out
for the court. She was named a
princess in 1980. Lottie's
cousin, Bridgett Greenup, is a
pennant bearer this year.
The 19year-old queen
graduated from Heppner High
School in 1981. While in school
she was an avid sports compe
titor in volleyball, basketball,
softball and golf. In golf she
went to state two years in a

Queen Lottie and her court.
Wherever they go their warm
smiles and friendly manner is
contagious, leaving everyone
they meet feeling happy.
There's only one sad note for
Queen Lottie this year. She
was unable to use her horse,
BoJo. who was injured early
this spring. She luckily found
her Aunt Janie's horse, a
beautiful 16 hand registered
quarter horse gelding, Sam, a
perfect mount.
Queen Lottie invites every
one to the fair and rodeo, to
and to visit the court's booth at
the fair.
As Lottie makes her official
appearances next week, give a
friendly smile to this Morrow
County queen.
