The 1997 Morrow County Fair
and Oregon Trail Pro Rodeo
Court, with Queen Dawn Boor
and Princesses Kara Miller and
Maci Childers, caps off 75 years
o f Morrow County history this
year, joining queens and courts
who have represented our county
well since 1922. 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).
