Many o f the court names through the years are familiar ones, some still live in the county or nearby and many have daughters or granddaughters who also became fair and rodeo royalty. The first queen in 1922 was Maijone Clark Ridings and Eva Padberg Griffith, who still lives in Heppner, was the second. No rodeo was held during World War II, from 1942-44. Following is a list of court members, many of whom appear on our picture page in this week's Gazette- Times (see corresponding photo numbers). 1922-Queen Marjorie Clark Ridings, photo #1; 1923-Queen Eva Padberg Griffith #2, Princesses Bea Gentry and Jane Allstott;
