TULELAKE-BUTTE VALLEY FAIR SPONSORED BY THE 10-A DISTRICT AGRICULTURAL ASSOCIATION 2012 STAFF
elcome to the 61st annual Tulelake-Butte Valley Fair. On behalf of the Board of Directors and fair staff, I would like to extend an invitation to you to attend the 2012 fair as we celebrate “Keeping the Dream Alive,” a theme that I believe is very relevant and reminiscent of our local and surrounding communities efforts this past year to help sustain the fair’s longevity due to the 100% cut of state funding. The fair is an iconic event in rural life and is many things to many people. To those participating in events like Livestock, Arts & Crafts, Tuff Truck Races, Destruction Derby and the Mud Bogs, the fair brings much anticipation and excitement. For business owners, it’s a time to showcase their products and services. Many make new friends and reacquaint with old ones or stroll the midway and reminisce about fairs of yesteryear. Some come for the smell of corn dogs and cotton candy or for a night out with friends to enjoy a Grandstand event. This is your fair. The more you bring to it, the more you and others will get out of it. The fair staff and board of directors strive every year to make it the best we can possibly make it. The uniqueness of the Tulelake-Butte Valley Fair comes from the hearts and foresight of the people who have and continue to dedicate their efforts into the fair. The Tulelake-Butte Valley Fair is enriched with tradition and history, all of which makes it one of the greatest county fairs on the west coast. Sixty one years ago the fair was founded and developed on the principles of being a family oriented event where the surrounding communities could gather for socializing, entertainment, education and friendly competition. Those founding principles have continued to play an integral role in the fair’s purpose throughout the past sixty one years because of the dedication of past and present fair board members, staff, exhibitors and fair patrons like yourself. We continue to strive to provide the public a low cost event that the whole family can enjoy with their fellow community members. The great diversity of exhibits, entertainment and food have all played an integral role in developing the fair’s tradition of providing the public an educational and entertaining family oriented event that everyone can afford to attend and enjoy! As you walk through the gates September 6th thru 9th, I invite you, your family and friends to enjoy the many traditional events and shows that you have come to know and love as well as some new entertainment we hope you will find enjoyable. NEW to this year’s fair will be the Let’s Pretend Wild West Show, where kids will have great fun acting in a wild west show, the Bobble Lagoon, where you can roll around in a bubble on top of water and a power packed live music lineup on the PremierWest Bank Entertainment Stage, including Aces Up, Northern Heat, Jackson Michelson and Nashville artists, Jenny & Ashley. Of course, some of last year’s crowd favorites such as, the high flying nationally recognized, “Dock Dogs” Tournament, will be back for a third year, the Kids Pedal Tractors, Jeremy the Juggler, Pickles the Clown and the Battle of the Bands will return to the fairgrounds to energize the crowd!

It’s your choice! If you choose to donate, pay what you can!
The Tulelake-Butte Valley Fair continues to strive to remain sustainable after losing 100% of the state funding due to the State of California’s budget deficit. Locally, this support equaled $272,000 and accounted for 42% of our fair’s annual budget. This loss of state funding has significantly impacted the daily operations and has seriously affected the fair’s revenue stream and long term future. The “Pay What You Can” admission policy will serve as yet, another stepping stone as we lay the foundation to secure a sustainable future. As our fair endures it’s first year of zero funding, the time has never been more immediate and the need has never been greater. Individually, our impact of giving is limited, but together as a community we have the unlimited potential and ability to preserve the future of our fair for generations to come.
We are very fortunate to have incredible community supporters and are optimistic that together our local and surrounding communities will continue to show their support during these challenging economic times. As always, the Tulelake-Butte Valley Fair sincerely appreciates your generous support as we strive to continue a tradition that has served the people of the Klamath Basin for 61 years! The “Pay What You Can” admission policy allows you the customer, the choice of donating an admission fee for attending the fair. While paying for admission is not required, we kindly ask for support by donating what you can and am providing you the value of your admission to the fair. You have the choice of paying the suggested value, less than, more than or nothing at all. Your admission donation will help promote a sustainable future for the fair and allow everyone to enjoy the fair at reasonable rates. Here are the values of what you are receiving by attending the fair!

he Tulelake-Butte Valley Fair Board selected Bill and Marcella Haynes of Tulelake as the 2012 Parade Grand Marshals for the Saturday, September 8th parade in recognition of their community service, service to youth and to the fair. The parade is part of the festivities of the fair which goes from September 6-9. Married sixty-one years, the couple has a long history of involvement in the community. Born in Granger, Washington in 1929, Bill came to Tulelake with his family that same year. His dad worked for G.W. Osborne and tried to farm a little on the side. The family left before Bill was school age to find work in Powell Butte, Redmond, and Granger, but returned permanently in 1935. Bill was raised in Tulelake and farmed with his dad, who bought his first farm, the sixty-seven acre Murray place, for $12,000, and later with a brother and a brother-in-law. He says that helping out was necessary in the early days here and still is. “We knew nearly everyone since we worked together, and we made agreements on a handshake. I started doing for the community when neighbors wanted help getting something done.” Farm equipment and labor were shared – it was a hard time getting money back then and there wasn’t as much equipment as nowadays -- and so were limited social events. Helping each other was part of the way of life. Bill said that he and his sister Lura would pick up potatoes when the alternate ditches were dug for row irrigation – after potatoes had started to grow. They would take them to town to trade for food. On Saturdays, families went in to Tulelake to Earl’s Market, now Jock’s, to get groceries. And there were seven or eight bars then where folks could spend their money.
and daughter of the Bushes who got a 1932 homestead here, needed help with her children and Marcella went to live with her family until she graduated from school in 1950 and married Bill the following November. They had met when Bill noticed her as she walked to the school bus on Road 102 and began to ask her out to ball games and such.
While Bill attended the University of California Davis farm school for a few months after graduation from high school in 1947, his dad needed his help on the farm as he was the oldest son. So he returned home. Together they grew mostly potatoes and grain. Bill recalls that he went to school first in Tulelake, then to Carr School, on Road 112, and then back to Tulelake for high school. He notes that when the family moved to Road 102, the road to Alturas was gravel. “In fact all the roads except for the highway were gravel when we married,” said Marcella. It’s a good thing it was paved later as Marcella traveled 50,000 miles back and forth to Alturas for monthly and bi-monthly meetings during her 29 years on the Modoc County Board of Education. Marcella, whose mother died when she was only ten, came to Tulelake to live with the Bushes, friends of her father from North Dakota, where she was born, when she was in the 11th grade, while her dad went to Norway for a year. Marie Osborne, married to Gib Osborne
A lot of couples their age lived nearby. Once a month they held a card party and potluck, at Georgette Kirby’s instigation if Marcella remembers correctly. Ten years later Bill and Marcella helped to form the Mariners social group of the Presbyterian Church and were the first skippers of the organization that lasted fifty years. Their most enduring association has been with the Tulelake Presbyterian Church, where both have served as elders, deacons, leaders, and caretakers of building and grounds. Marcella says that she got her first insight into needs of the community when driving down the road and seeing pre-school children playing around cars while their parents, migrant workers, toiled in the fields. She had two children of her own at the time and could sympathize with the working parents and the children. Louise Thompson was the person who awoke her to the idea that people needed more than was provided. So she began once-a-week babysitting from seven in the morning until six or seven at night at the fairgrounds or at Newell or Malin to ensure that babies and toddlers got the attention and care they needed during harvest time. She also worked with True Hoyle in the 1960s teaching sewing to teenagers at the Malin migrant camp. While Bill worked long hours farming, on Lower Klamath, in Round Valley, and in Tulelake, Marcella tended the home and the family as well as rouged and weeded, and drove a potato truck and a combine. She says she would wake the children
16
when her husband came home late at night so they could see their daddy. She also found time to lead a Girl Scout troop, help with Rainbow Girls, chair local cancer and Red Cross drives, serve a term as president of the P.T.A., and serve on the Newell Precinct Election Board for twenty years. She and Bill chaperoned all the high school and Rainbow Girls dances during the 1960s and 1970s. In later years, Marcella was the head cook at the elementary school, cooked at the OIT cafeteria, and was a caregiver for seniors. For the past several years she has served as chair of the advisory council to the senior center. She also currently serves the elementary school in the reading program and is president of the Tulelake Basin Republican Women Federated. Bill, as well as Marcella, has long been associated with the chamber of commerce. Both were involved in efforts to beautify Main Street and paint and clean the information center on the highway. Recognized for his leadership skills, Bill served a term as president of the Tulelake Growers’ Association and six years as head of the Masonic Lodge. He continues involvement in various fraternal organizations, such the Masons and Shriners. For twenty years, he helped the Rotary Club cut up beef Bert Johnson donated for the free community barbecue, a part of the fair activities for many years. They both remember attending the first fair 61 years ago on the lawn of the old high school, now the lawn south of the elementary school and adjacent to East West Road. Marcella remembers the animals and the bitter, windy cold that sent her to watch from the car. Over the years Haynes - Walden Farms, incorporated in 1967, and owned by Bill, his brother Larry and brother-in-law Durrell Walden, helped young people reach their goals by purchasing animals at the Rotary auction, a high point of the fair. Haynes children were involved in 4-H and raised lambs shown at the fair. Bill volunteered for ten years in the Eastern Star food booth at the fair and also served a few years on the TBVF Museum Board in addition to donating items to the museum. They both volunteered many years at the Mariners’ coffee and yogurt booth during fair days.
What is the couple’s reaction to being chosen as parade marshals? “It is an honor to think that the fair board would choose us,” said Marcella. “There are a lot of people around here who are deserving. We don’t realize that what we are doing is that important. When we see the need and it’s there, we just take the time to do what is needed.” Bill agreed and noted that they help out because it’s the thing to do, not to get their names in the paper. Asked what they would like to see for the fair and the community in the future, Marcella said she “would like to see more small businesses on Main Street” and she and Bill agree that it is important to support local business. They would also like to see more use of the fairgrounds, perhaps on another annual event. They both helped with the Horseradish Festival for several years and would enjoy seeing it return. Marcella also noted that she misses the free public barbecue at the fair to which Bert Johnson donated beef for many years as it brought all segments of the community together. Marcella commented that the fair board has always tried to be visionary, to make the fair comfortable and safe, with a “no alcohol” policy, nice restrooms, and updated infrastructure and facilities. She and Bill do miss the local food booths, such as the Business and Professional Women’s pie booth, and would like to see such booths return to generate money that benefits area residents. Besides helping out the community over the years, the Haynes keep up an social active life, entertaining neighbors and friends, visiting with family members in Idaho, Washington, and California, and enjoying hobbies. Marcella is an accomplished cook and sewer who has entered quilts and baked and canned goods in the fair numerous times over the years with prize-winning results. She also enjoys flower gardening, leaving the vegetable garden to Bill who produces a surplus to share with the senior center as well as neighbors. Bill is also the proud caretaker of a 1969 GTX Plymouth convertible which he has displayed both at the fairgrounds and the Malin Park on special occasions. The couple also enjoy nine grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.
When asked what has motivated him, Bill said he always wanted to do better in his business. “Farming changes and keeps changing and I want a bigger and better crop.” Bill still raises grain in the 72-acre field adjacent to their home, though every third year he lets it out for potatoes to replenish the soil. Bill said, “If I need anything, my neighbors will help me out. I have always tired to be a good neighbor, that’s how I was brought up. We have to work together.” As he looks out his kitchen window at the crop, he notes that he looks at it every day and sees change. “Life is the same,” he said. As for Marcella, her most important concern has been in caring for her family, expanding her learning, and not getting stuck in old ways. Her and Bill’s greatest pride is in their four children, all of whom have gone on to college or training after high school. Their three daughters, Linda, Patricia, and Ginger married away, while their only son, Mason, has remained in the basin. All have followed in their parents’ footsteps in helping their communities. Bill and Marcella agree that they are “proud of living here and helping to make a good community. It is a pretty blessed place to live as far as weather and people.” Both have a great interest in genealogy. Marcella’s dad came from Norway where she estimates she has close to 350 relatives, and Bill’s predecessors came from England. Marcella has been active with the local Sons of Norway chapter and bakes for their sales. Since their workload has lightened in recent years, they have been able to travel to both countries looking up church burial records and meeting with relatives. Recently they entertained relatives from Norway by taking them to local sites, including the Lava Beds which they enjoyed immensely. Before fall they’ll be attending a Dopps (Bill’s mother’s family) reunion in Prineville. And of course they’ll be attending the 2012 fair and parade. The Tulelake-Butte Valley Fair is honored to have Bill & Marcella Haynes serve as the 2012 Parade Grand Marshals and very grateful for their services to the community.

Each year, the Tulelake-Butte Valley Fair Board of Director’s select a theme to be celebrated at the annual fair. This year’s theme of “Keeping the Dream Alive” couldn’t be more relevant and reflective of the fair’s current scenario as it struggles to remain sustainable after losing 100% of it’s state funding due to the State of California’s budget deficit. Locally, this support equaled $272,000 and accounted for 42% of our fair’s annual budget. The Tulelake-Butte Valley Fair is operationally stable for this year, however the loss of state funding has significantly impacted the daily operations and 2012 Keeping the Dream Alive 2011 Big Dreams in a Small Town 2010 Magic on Main Street 2009 Country Scenes & Children’s Dreams 2008 Where the Road Ends and the Fun Begins 2007 Water Flowin’ Keeps it Growin’ 2006 Keeping the American Dream Alive 2005 Through the Eyes of a Child 2004 We have a Good Thing Growing 2003 Rainbow Dreams and Country Scenes 2002 Something Old, Something New, Forever Red, White and Blue 2001 Fifty Years of Farm & Family Fun 2000 Millennium Harvest 1999 Wagon Teams to Western Dreams 1998 Harvest of Gold 1997 Blue Jeans & Country Dreams 1996 Kruz’n Down Memory Lane

has seriously affected the fair’s revenue stream and long term future. This year’s theme reflects on the combined efforts of the fair and the people of our local and surrounding communities to continue a tradition that was developed 61 years ago and is the single largest annual event held in the Klamath Basin! We hope that you can join us as we strive to “Keep the Dream Alive” for future generations of Klamath Basin residents to share in the same opportunities that we have all enjoyed here at the Tulelake-Butte Valley Fair!

NEW this year!!! Have you ever wanted to walk on water? Now is your chance! Bobble Lagoon is a unique ride where you climb into a ball and run around in it (on water). Think of a hamster spinning around in a little ball….. that’s what Bobble Lagoon is like! Sounds almost like a form of child abuse, but, as it turns out, it’s one of the greatest forms of child/adult entertainment we’ve seen in years! Bobble Lagoon is a 30 foot round pool of about 20 inches of water where children (and adults up to 250 lbs.) are placed in a large inflatable clear ball and let loose to run amok on the surface of the water. You can run, jump, flip or just lay back and relax. You’ll also enjoy the Caribbean theme and feel as if you’re in a tropical paradise. WELCOME TO BOBBLE LAGOON!
Have you ever wanted to pitch horse shoes? You can at the Horse Shoe Pitching Contest on Saturday at 9:00 a.m. at the Grandstand Arena. For those of you who don’t know, horse shoes is an outdoor game played between two people (or two teams of two people) using four horse shoes and two throwing targets (stakes) set in a sandbox area. The game is played by the players alternating turns tossing horse shoes at stakes in the ground, which are traditionally placed 40 feet apart. Modern games use a more stylized U-shaped bar, about twice the size of an actual horse shoe. Did you know that pitching horse shoes goes back to the days of the Roman army? There are disagreements about whether it began with a round ring or actual horse shoes, but in some form, it was played by officers and foot soldiers alike. The game’s long route included England and then the soldiers of our own country in the Revolutionary War. You may remember horse shoes being played at family reunions, picnics or potluck dinners with the clanks of ringers and the thuds of misses, accompanied by laughter and kidding from brothers, cousins, and maybe an uncle or two who may not have played since the last reunion. Of course, that was no excuse for missing the stake! Come on out and pitch a few “shoes” or watch a very popular recreation sport. It may bring back a few memories or create wonderful new ones and perhaps even create a tradition in your family!

You’ll find Jeremy the Juggler roving around the fairgrounds performing a combination of juggling, unicycling, stilt walking, origami, and balloon twisting. You’ll usually see Jeremy walking on his stilts (making him 11-feet tall), or riding his unicycle while juggling up to nine balls! You’ll have an opportunity to enjoy Jeremy’s shows while he strolls around the fairgrounds on Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 1:00, 3:00, 5:00 and 7:00 and again Sunday at 10:00, noon, 2:00 and 4:00. If you hear someone singing familiar melodies while on a unicycle or stilts, turn your head and it will probably be Jeremy. Stop and enjoy the amusement he has to offer!

The Tulelake-Butte Valley Fair once again welcomes Pickles the Clown!

Pickles the Clown knows the ingredients it takes for kids to have a GOOD time! Since 1989 she has been entertaining children of ALL ages while traveling the western United States. You may find her eyeball-to-eyeball with pre-schoolers or shining the bald spot of a grandpa but one thing you will ALWAYS see is smiles! Pickles will be arriving at the Tulelake-Butte Valley Fair armed with her head filled with silliness and her rather large bag filled with……BALLOONS! Balloon Art is her specialty and all who experience her will be amazed at the unusual and unique items she designs.

Make sure you stop and enjoy what Pickles has up her sleeve and be prepared to have some great laughs!

he Paul Maurer Carnival will be returning to the Tulelake-Butte Valley Fair again this year! Paul Maurer got started in the amusement business in 1971 as a solo game operator, playing numerous fairs and festivals throughout the West. Paul Maurer was known as one of the largest game concessionaires on the West Coast during that time frame. In 1984, after wanting to fulfill a life long dream, and saving his money earned from his game operation, he purchased his first amusement ride and formed "Paul Maurer Shows". Today, Paul Maurer is the owner of over 33 spectacular, major and kiddy amusement rides and their attractions, which includes a large selection of fun, family games and carnival food / cotton candy concessions. Paul Maurer Shows is known for their unique, brightly-painted rides with their sparkling lights (that shine bright at night), colorful three-toned canvas, aluminum framed games and food concessions. All of their employees are required to undergo a background check using the "California Department of Justice, Megan's Law" website and participate in the show's random drug & alcohol testing program. Maurer’s carnival employees, from the management to ride operators, are fully trained for the safe operation of our amusement rides and attractions. Clean uniforms and personal hygiene are also top priority for the appearance of our staff and show. Their management staff is fully qualified to resolve any problem and is always onsite during the event and made available for any questions, complaints or concerns you may have. Paul Maurer Shows is committed to provide a safe, clean, fun and family carnival atmosphere and keeping those great family memories alive!!

T
he Rotary Jr. Livestock Auction will take place on Sunday, September 9th @ 2:00 p.m. in the Jock’s Sale Pavilion near the livestock area. Everyone is invited to attend the auction. This year’s auction will include Beef, Rabbits, Swine, Goats, Sheep, Poultry and Wood/Metal projects exhibited by 4-H and FFA members. Bidding and purchasing on the sale lots benefits the entire community. By purchasing a sale lot you not only help the Tulelake Rotary Club, but you are supporting the months of dedication and labor by the 4-H or FFA members. The projects require the exhibitors to put in numerous hours of hard work as they are responsible for the development and health of their project. For first-time buyers, the experience can seem a little intimidating because they’ve never bought at an auction before. After reading this article, you’ll realize there is no reason not to participate because buying a fair animal is very easy and is an exciting experience! The sale begins sharply at 2:00 p.m., so you should arrive a little early in order to register as a potential buyer and get your buyer’s number. Upon arrival at Jock’s Sale Pavilion, visit the Rotary Tent where the assistants will help you complete the paperwork to register as a potential buyer. After completing the paperwork you will receive a buyer’s number that you may use to bid with during the auction. The buyer number allows the auctioneer and sale staff to know who the final bidder is and in order to record the sale.
After receiving your buyer’s number, you are set and ready to bid on the animals of your choice! Many buyers will arrive early prior to the auction in order to view the animals in the barns and visit with the 4-H and FFA exhibitors about their projects. During the sale, there will be an auctioneer plus three sale ring attendants, who will acknowledge your bids when you wave your hand or bid number. When you feel you want to bid, just hold up your buyer’s number and the ring attendant will take your bid. Once you’ve bid pay attention to the ring attendant to see if he acknowledges your bid. If the auctioneer took your bid, you will know, as he will be looking to see if anyone else bids more. If the ring attendant starts looking at you again, another bidder has out bid you and he will be looking to see if you want to bid again. Contrary to popular belief, you will not unknowingly bid on an animal by inadvertently scratching your arm or sneezing. The first time you bid you may need to make sure a spotter sees you, but after that they will watch you closely and make sure they have your bid if you bid again. I can’t stress this enough, bidding is the easiest thing in the world. The auctioneer and ring attendants are there to help the Rotary Club and the exhibitors get their animals sold and they do a wonderful job of it.
The Grand and Reserve Grand Champion market animal of the specie selling with be the first to sell. After the champions, the rest of the animals will sell in descending order of the judging results. Prices per specie will vary, but expect to pay about $1.50-$3.00 per pound for a beef which will weigh between 1050-1400 pounds. Sheep will sell for around $4.00-$7.00 per pound and will weigh between 110-155 pounds. Swine will sell for around $3.00$4.00 per pound and weigh between 215-275 pounds. After you have purchased your animal, there is a little bit of paperwork to complete. All animals go to a designated slaughter house, but you get to choose where it will be processed for the cut & wrap of the meat. If you don’t have a certain place, don’t worry, the people handling the sale can inform you of your choices and help you select the one that is most convenient for you. You are almost finished; you now have to pay for your animal, which can be done either by check or credit card. The meat from the sale lots that you purchased will be ready to be pickedup from the processor of your choice in about two weeks following the sale. You will definitely enjoy eating the meat you’ve purchased as it is always a little sweeter knowing you’ve helped out a very deserving exhibitor.

ave you ever wondered who maintains all of the beautiful flower gardens at the fairgrounds? It’s the people of the great Klamath Basin who are responsible for the beautiful scenery that the flower gardens provide us all! The purpose and concept of the flower gardens is to allow the people of the local and surrounding communities the opportunity to actively participate at the fair throughout the summer by managing and caring for their specific flower garden. The care takers are then rewarded at fair-time by receiving up to $200 for their hard work and dedication put forth in their flower garden. The beautiful exhibits are a reflection of the pride that the competitive gardeners have for the community and the fairgrounds. The Adopt-ASpot gardens have continued to flourish and grow in numbers as the years have passed by. This year, there will be 22 Adopt-A-Spot Gardens available for the public to enjoy. The Tulelake-Butte Valley Fair would like to give a special thanks to all of the Adopt-ASpot flower gardeners for their continued dedication and contributions that they provide while greatly enhancing the beauty of the fairgrounds! If you are interested in participating in the 2013 Adopt-A-Spot Flower Garden program, call the fair office at (530) 667-5312 or email tulefair@cot.net.

he Tulelake-Butte Valley Fair will be honoring Wright Farms of Tulelake as the 2012 Farmer & Rancher of the year during the Farmers & Ranchers Appreciation Dinner held on Thursday, September 6th at Jock’s Sale Pavilion. Wright Farms is operated by the Roy Wright Family. Roy Wright was born on July 20, 1950 to George Wright (Pacific Power Lineman), and Catherine Wright (BookkeeperSportsman Hotel/Bert Johnson Farms). Roy has two siblings, David Wright and Cindy Wright both living in Morgan Hill, California. Roy attended Tulelake schools and graduated in 1968. While in school Roy participated in the local 4-H club raising pigs and steers for the TBV Fair auction and particiapted in the 4-H Horse Club Drill Team. He attended Shasta College before being asked to serve his country in the U.S. Army. After receiving an honorable discharge in 1972, he worked a short time for Weyerhauser Lumber as a welder. During that time Roy would haul hay with his friend Gene Dunlea after their shift ended. Roy later decided that working the lumber industry wasn’t his thing and decided to make farming his career. The only equipment Roy had to start farming with was a shovel, hay hooks and hay chaps. With hat in hand and a huge knot in his stomach, he approached the local bank and asked for his first loan (it should be noted that he refused to have a co-signor). He bought his first piece of equipment which was
a used Owatonna draper swather and proceeded to start his farming career. As of today, that first swather grew into enough equipment to put up 1,000 acres of hay, 250 acres of potatoes and 200 acres of wheat (some of which he owns and the rest is rented). Roy is very proud of the fact that he started out with nothing but his ambition and desire to farm and raise quality crops. Roy and his wife Theresa Proctor (1976 THS grad), have two daughters; Heather Wright (1998 THS grad) who is married to Heath Wright (1997 THS grad) and Catherine Wright Lyman (2004 THS grad) who is married to Kyle Lyman (2001 THS grad). Roy’s parents are Chuck & Chloe Proctor who worked for various farmers in the basin. Roy’s grandchildren are Colten Wright (9 years); Cabella Wright (5 years); McKenzie Lyman (19 months) and Baby Lyman (due January 2013)! Both daughters and their husbands participated in Tulelake 4-H and FFA clubs raising animals for the fair. Their oldest grandson, Colten Wright is in his 1st year of 4-H in Tulelake. Roy and Theresa stay very busy year round even when they are not farming. Roy is currently the President of the Tulelake Basin Joint Unified School Board and plays an active role in numerous community programs and events. They enjoy flying, traveling and watching their grandchildren participate in rodeo events and play sports.

The benefits of becoming Miss Tulelake will help me throughout my future, not only in high school, but also in college. This opportunity will help me learn more about responsibilities and build character. By becoming Miss Tulelake I would represent my community well and serve as a role model to past, present, and future generations.” After graduation from high school, Rosario plans to attend Sacramento State University and obtain her four-year degree in sociology.

NEW to the Tulelake-Butte Valley Fair entertainment lineup, Jenny & Ashley will be performing on the PremierWest Bank Stage on Friday, Saturday and Sunday! All American girls Jenny (16) and Ashley (14) are a vibrant pop country singing sister duo. They’ve lived, worked or performed in nearly every state. Born in Wisconsin they were raised with a Midwestern mentality and manners. Following their dreams to sing and act the family moved to California where Jenny & Ashley dove into the Los Angeles scene. Each of the girls has done modeling and commercials for such major names as Kohl’s, Disney, Nickelodeon, Fox, and Nintendo Wii. In order to accommodate the many auditions, shoots and acting lessons, the difficult decision was made to leave regular schooling and begin homeschooling with tutors. While they miss locker posters, school dances and homecoming games it is worth the opportunity to be on the big stage and pursue what they love.
PERFORMANCE SCHEDULE FRIDAY • SEPTEMBER 7TH PremierWest Bank Stage 4:00 p.m • 6:30 p.m. • 8:30 p.m.

boat in 50 degree weather!” she laughs. The video premiered on Cambio.com, has over 20,000 Youtube views so far and was featured on over 115 outlets including MySpace Music, Yahoo Music, J-14, PopStar, Roughstock.com, The Country Network and Honky Tonk TV.
The focal point of their passion has been music since the first time they sang together in front of a room of people when they were 5 and 3. The occasion was a going away party for the son of a family friend who was in the military and being sent to Iraq not long after 9/11. “Ash and I sang ‘God Bless the USA’ by Lee Greenwood,” recalls Jenny, “and everyone cried. It was then when I realized I wanted to change people's lives through music.” Their love for lyrics and boots led them to Nashville, Tennessee where they recorded the ‘Songs About You’ EP on the renowned Music Row with Tim McGraw’s co-producer Darran Smith and industry veterans, the Dance Hall Doctors. In support of the EP they shot a video for their perfect put-the-top-down-andcruise summer tune “Beach Weekend,” one of 5 songs on their excellent new Songs About You EP. The video, shot on Laguna Beach, Calif., includes a beach party, boating and classroom scenes. It is a huge highlight in the careers of the girls who have literally been performing for as long as they can remember. Not surprisingly, one of the reasons might be the cute guys in the video, and they aren’t there by accident. “Of course we picked them!” exclaims Jenny. “Did you take a look at them?” But, according to Ashley the shoot wasn’t all fun and games. “I had to jump off the top of the
Other tracks on the ‘Songs About You’ EP in addition to “Beach Weekend,” are the first single, “Indescribable,” written by Ashley and lightly worked at Music Row stations in early 2010; “I Love That Song,” written by Jenny; “I Haven’t Even Kissed You” and a cover of “When I Saw Him Standing There,” a revamped version of the Beatles classic “I Saw Her Standing There.” This winter the girls completed their next EP, ‘Our Kinda Life.” Every song on the new EP is written or co-written by Jenny & Ashley with Taylor Swift like lyrics and vocal inspiration from Carrie Underwood, Shania Twain & Miranda Lambert. Although their parents call Miami home now, Jenny & Ashley feel home is on the road with their fans. After the EP release, they spent last year touring summer camps, festivals and middle schools while making TV appearances and belting out the National Anthem at ballparks. They have a packed schedule to do it again this year starting in April to support their soon-to-be-released “Our Kinda Life” EP. While Jenny & Ashley have been focused mostly on the video and promoting the EP recently, there’s plenty more going
on in their busy lives. There are ongoing discussions of a major network TV show, summer online mini-series reality show, festival shows and more. Not surprisingly their work ethic and crossgenre appeal reflect the influence of some of their true inspirations, Rascal Flatts, Garth Brooks, Shania Twain and Taylor Swift. “I love the song ‘Mean’ by Taylor Swift,” proclaims Jenny. “Songs that really drive you.” And are Jenny & Ashley driven toward any specific goals? “My goal is to be able to perform on the CMAs as soon as possible,” declares Ashley. “I’m in it for the long run. And I’ll be so grateful for whatever happens and work my butt off for all of it! I’ve always loved music and have this burning passion for it.” “I couldn’t imagine my life without music and performing,” adds Jenny. “It’s what I live for, that connection between my music and my audience. I’m just gonna let God guide the path and take me where we’re gonna go.” With talent and maturity beyond their years, music and entertainment has been the driving force in Jenny & Ashley’s lives their whole lives. Even though their dreams keep them gypsies on the road they’re still two teenagers seeking and singing about the same things other girls are…
Bonfires on a summer night When everything is feelin just right Dancin in the pouring rain and not caring bout a single thing Sunset and holdin his hand laughin at everything we can Only thing that’s on my mind Is tonight… My kinda life

PERFORMANCE SCHEDULE SATURDAY • SEPTEMBER 8TH PremierWest Bank Stage 11 a.m. • 3:00 p.m. • 8:00 p.m.
NEW to the Tulelake-Butte Valley Fair entertainment lineup, Jackson Michelson will be performing on the PremierWest Bank Stage on Saturday! Born and raised in the Willamette Valley, Jackson Michelson is a country singer/songwriter who takes pride in his roots. The development of his unique style is the result of a lifetime of musical inspiration. He lives and breathes music and entertainment. When you leave his show, you will have a tune stuck in your head and a smile on your face. His soul infused, country style pays tribute to some of his greatest influences such as Keith Urban and Sam Cooke.
Jackson’s debut EP “Dreams” was released in October of 2010, which topped the iTunes top 100 charts. He was the Country Showdown Winner in 2010 and has enjoyed a year of radio play, and has toured in over 25 states. Jackson has shared the stage with artists such as Lady Antebellum, Darius Rucker, Clay Walker, James Otto, Ronnie Dunn, and many more.
NEW to the Tulelake-Butte Valley Fair entertainment lineup, Aces Up will be performing on the PremierWest Bank Stage on Sunday! It has long been said that country music belongs in the South, but the Enumclaw, WA based group Aces Up is challenging that notion. With a unique blend of blue collar country and the raw energy of the famous Seattle rock scene, they deliver hard hitting, boot stomping, feel good country music that consistently sells out the Northwest’s premier venues. In addition to receiving national airplay, Aces Up has shared the stage with country music artists Gretchen Wilson, Jake Owen, The Band Perry, Uncle Kracker, Jack Ingram, Steve Holy, Big and Rich and many more.
PERFORMANCE SCHEDULE SUNDAY • SEPTEMBER 9TH PremierWest Bank Stage Noon • 3:00 p.m. • 6:00 p.m.
With a voice that belies his 24 years, front man Tyler Adams can croon a heartfelt ballad like "One lane road" just as easily as he can growl a blistering barn burner like "Cars, guitars, & honky tonk bars". Former marine Jason Adams holds down telecaster duties while a solid rhythm section of seasoned veterans comprised of Steve Warren on bass and Robert Perez on drums keeps the dance floor packed and fiddler Amy Daves can make your heart melt with a song like Jesus and Moonshine, or make you want to two step all night when she plays throwback like My New Best Friend. It is no surprise that Aces Up has quickly become a favorite of even the most discerning country music fans up and down the West Coast, and a welcome addition to the playlists of committed rockers. With the 2011 release of their Exact Records debut album "Backyard Superstars," look for them on the 2012 tour bringing their authentic and original Northwest blend of country and rock to the rest of the world.

Rounding out the action is the newest form of competition known as Speed Retrieve® – where the dogs are put on the clock to see how fast they can run down the dock, jump into the water, swim to the end of the pool and retrieve an object which is held by a modified extender arm.

TODD ALLEN You might recognize the voice and, at times, the face of our public address announcer returning to the Tulelake Butte Valley Fair this season, Todd Allen. Todd is a former Klamath Basin resident who enjoyed hosting afternoons at country station KLAD from 2007 - 2009, until relocating to Vancouver, British Columbia. He is no stranger to our community as he continues to produce, promote and host the annual Warren Miller Ski Film showing every year as the kick-off for the official Snowflake Festival. Being raised in the Applegate Valley southeast of Jacksonville, Todd spent most of his younger years hunting, fishing and
vacationing in the Klamath Basin and loves returning to the area he calls his second home. After moving to Canada to join his wife, Todd has spent most of his spare time providing voice over narration for various commercials and cartoons, plus enjoying special skills background acting enjoying military type roles in a variety of US and Canadian movie and television productions. Besides being the "voice" of the Tulelake Butte Valley Fair, Todd produces our commercials prior to our annual event, as well as our public address announcements and emcee duties. He also provides the musical playlist heard over our PA, or as Todd calls it, TBVF radio!
The Tulelake Butte Valley Fair is always trying to find new ways for the community to actively participate at the annual fair. This year students from Tulelake, Butte Valley and Klamath Schools Districts ranging from pre-school thru elementary were given the opportunity to color an outline of the 2012 “Keeping the Dream Alive” fair logo. The name of the child, school and teacher will be located on each colored logo. All of the children’s colored logo outlines will be on display in the Home Economics Building for the public to view and enjoy the hard work of the young children! Each colored logo will receive a fair participation ribbon, which will be available during the fair. If your child participated in the project please ask one of the building attendants for your child’s ribbon! If you would like to participate or know of another youth organization or school who would like to be a part of next year’s youth coloring contest please contact the fair office by calling 530-667-5312 or email tulefair@cot.net.
