Umatilla County Fair to move online People still adopting,
and Farm-City Pro Rodeo canceled caring for pets during
COVID-19 pandemic
HERMISTON HERALD
Hermiston’s
biggest
events of the year have been
put on hold to protect people
from COVID-19.
The Umatilla County Fair
announced on May 14 that
most of the fair’s offerings,
including concerts, carnival
rides, booths and the parade
are canceled for 2020. Youth
livestock shows and the
auction will be modifi ed to
include online showings.
“First and foremost, we
must keep the public safe
and follow the orders set
forth by the Governor’s
offi ce,” a news release
stated.
They said they have a
committee working on what
the platform for 4-H and
FFA activities will look like,
and are taking input from
stakeholders.
Governor Kate Brown
has stated that gatherings of
more than 250 people will
not be allowed until at least
the end of September.
Farm-City Pro Rodeo
also announced on May
14 that they are canceling
their event in light of those
restrictions.
“We want to thank our
sponsors, box seat and
reserved seat holders, our
Gold Buckle members, our
fans and contestants, and the
community for their con-
tinued support. The event,

County Fair.
held in conjunction with
the Umatilla County Fair,
has grown to be one of the
top rodeos in the nation,”
they stated in a Facebook
post. “We are proud to have
served the community with
our rodeo for 32 years. That
being said, our 2021 Farm-
City Pro Rodeo is going to
be bigger and better than
ever!”
The Umatilla County
Fair’s predecessor, the Dairy
and Hog Show, was can-
celed in 1918 because of a
global infl uenza pandemic.
“The withering hand
of a widespread infectious
disease had to step in at an
inopportune time and put
a stop to these well laid
plans that meant so much
to the dairymen, hog rais-
ers and agricultural peo-
ple of this community, who
have yearly taken just pride
in exhibiting the products of
their farms,” the Hermiston
Herald reported at the time.
“But with good grace all
bow to the precautionary
measures enjoined by a rigid
quarantine, and agree that
the mayor’s proclamation
closing schools, the Movie,
abandoning church services
and stopping all public gath-
erings is the best method
of safeguarding the public
against the spread of infl u-
enza in this neighborhood.”
Life has been upended
for humans in recent
months, but animals are
still fi nding their forever
homes.
Beau Putnam, direc-
tor of Pet Rescue Humane
Society of Eastern Oregon
in Hermiston, said adop-
tions at the shelter have
increased
substantially
during the pandemic.
During April and the
fi rst week of May they
adopted out 72 dogs and
17 cats, leaving the shel-
ter almost empty at times.
Some people have come
from as far as Portland
and Seattle because they
couldn’t fi nd what they
were looking for in their
cities.
“People have told me
there is no better time
to adopt a dog, because
they’re at home and can
train it,” Putnam said.
He said people have
continued to be generous
with monetary donations
and donating cleaning
supplies, such as bleach,
which are in constant
demand at the shelter. Pet
Rescue runs an accompa-
nying thrift store to help
raise money, and he said
it will reopen now that the
governor’s order to close
nonessential businesses
has been lifted in Uma-
tilla County.
Michelle Glynn, shel-
ter manager for Pendleton
Animal Welfare Shelter,
said she hasn’t noticed
any decrease in adoption
numbers.
“Adoptions certainly
are happening, which is
fantastic,” she said.
What she has noticed
is a signifi cant increase
in people being willing
to foster animals tempo-
rarily, which has allowed
PAWS to provide a home
environment for more
animals
waiting
for
adoption.
“People are home
more, so they’re able to
provide that,” she said.
Glynn said she has
seen a lot of questions
on social media about
whether someone can
spread COVID-19 to their
pet, or get it from their
pet. As scientists continue
to study the virus and gain
new understandings, she
encouraged pet owners to
look for the latest updates
from the American Vet-
erinary Medical Asso-
ciation for scientifi cally
sound recommendations.
