TOO BIG The little Mexican burro above was too big for the
annual Pear Blossom festival parade scheduled April 21. Animals
entered in the parade can not be larger than a St. Bernard dog.
Measuring the burro is Gene Ferrel, chairman of the festival,
and Bill Laurine, who planned to enter the "pet" in the parade.
The burro was borrowed from Les Taylor, Rogue valley rancher.
Mere than 240 valley organizations have been invited to partici
pate m the queens contest of the festival, and more than 340
groups and organizations have been invited to enter floats. Parade
entry blanks are available at the Jackson County Chamber of
commerce omce, 5 boutn Kiversiae ave. Ferrel reminded par
ticipants to register floats and entries prior to the April 19 dead
line. Plans are expected to be completed soon.
