Bertagna summons up Fair slogan, logo piration to come out on top and feel as close to a mile high as possible. Bertagna herself came out on top, putting forward an illustration of a simple yet effective logo for the Fair. It includes standout text of “Lake County Fair 2016� in a wood-grain with the aforementioned single rope circling the lower half. Inside are all the recognizable staples of any fair, which include a cow, chicken, pig, lamb, and goat. Underneath the livestock, the other exhibits are showcased such as floral, jam, produce and baked goods. The logo is punctuated with a ribbon with “1� on it. When talking about her talents, Bertagna is modest about what she has to offer. She said it took a few days to make the logo with just some crafty interests in sewing, quilting and crocheting to back up her concepts. Bertagna said winning both the logo and slogan contests were surprising to her, but chalks up her effort to contributing to the Fair that has been around her whole life. Her finished winning product can be seen when entering the front gates of the Lake County Fairgrounds, just in front of the Fairgrounds office.
By Jimmy Hall Lake County Examiner In a one-two punch, Lakeview’s Pam Bertagna won this year’s Lake County Fair contests that looked for its slogan and logo, crafting a catchy turn of phrase and an illustration that encapsulates the feeling of fair. Her winning entry for the slogan, “Ribbons, Ropes and Mile-High Hopes,� involves everything that Bertagna imagines when she thinks of the largest event in the county. As a regular fair attendee, Bertagna also volunteers in the Crafts Department as an assistant chairman at fairs. She explained that ribbons are what every exhibitor, whether they show a plate of cookies or a steer, hopes to achieve, becoming the best in class. The second part envelopes the rodeo that accompanies the Fair, along with what is used in many of the exhibits that find their way to the halls. “Whether red, white or blue, big or little, their heart is set on achievement,� she said. Finally, “Mile-High Hopes� relates to the overall anticipation that comes along every year as well as where it takes place. As Lakeview is billed as the “Tallest Town in

Page 8 — Wednesday, August 31, 2016, LAKE COUNTY EXAMINER, 2016 Lake County Fair & Round-Up
This year’s Lake County Round-up will mark the 97th time that cowboys flock to Lakeview, and the third time affiliated with the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA). Considered the major leagues of rodeo, the blend of small town feel with big league rodeo action makes the Lake County Round-up unique on the rodeo circuit. This year’s rodeo will see a return of familiar names who have competed in past PRCA Round-up’s, young up-andcomers determined to make a name for themselves, and wily veterans who are among some of the biggest names in rodeo today. Gone this year is the steer tripping competition after last year’s trial, but there will be plenty of bull riders, calf ropers, team ropers, steer wrestlers, saddleback and bareback riders to thrill and entertain across two days of PRCA rodeo action. Names to watch in bareback riding competition include Clayton Biglow, ranked ninth in the standings, who rode in Lakeview as an amateur three years ago. Also Wyatt Bloom, the 2015-16 intercollegiate and Big Sky Conference champion
PRCA Draws Rodeo Top Talent By Kurt Liedtke Lake County Examiner
KURT LIEDTKE/ Lake County Examiner
Lake County’s 97th rendition of the Round-up will draw some of the top talents on the PRCA circuit. at Montana State University. Among saddleback competitors keep an eye on Clay Elliott, who placed 17th in world standings last year, four-time Wrangler National Finals Rodeo (WNFR) qualifier Chet Johnson, and Ben Londo, the rodeo coach at San Luis Obispo who has been on a tear this year winning eight saddleback rodeo contests. Also returning is Joaquin Real, who was the big winner at the 2014 Lake County Round-up. Roscoe Jarboe is a name to watch in bull riding, winner of four bull riding rodeo competitions in 2016. Steer wrestling has some of the biggest names coming to Lake County, include a familiar local in longtime PRCA competitor and Lakeview resident Shawn Greenfield. Renowned riders including Dakota Eldridge, top ten in the standings, who finished second overall last year. Eldridge will also compete in calf roping. Also Billy Bugenig, currently top ten in the standings and destined for the WNFR this year. Cousins Blake and Trevor Knowles are also scheduled to compete, who between the pair have qualified 15 times for the WNFR.
Calf roping welcomes back Brad Goodrich, who competed in Lakeview last year and is a six-time WNFR qualifier with over a million dollars in career earnings. Also Colton Campbell, a Klamath Falls-native and rising star for the Fresno State University rodeo team, will compete in both calf roping and team roping. For the team roping event, Lakeview’s own Jack Graham gives it a go in his final PRCA event of his rookie season. Graham is a sophomore at Montana State University. Also Brandon Beers is a name to watch, a four-time qualifier of the WNFR who finished 10th in world standings in 2014. There should be an increase not just in quality of stock and cowboys, but quantity as well. In bareback riding alone the number of registered competitors has jumped five-fold, in part thanks to Lakeview’s location which qualifies it for three regions; the Columbia River Circuit, Wilderness Circuit for Nevada and the California Circuit. This means coming to Lakeview is advantageous for cowboys to compete at the Round-Up, as strong performances could boost
them in their circuit’s standings, increasing the chances of reaching the national finals competition in Las Vegas, Nev. It’s also the atmosphere surrounding the Round-up that is enticing to rodeo’s biggest names. The combination of safe, small town vibe with PRCA affiliation makes Lakeview an appealing destination among the roughly 600 PRCA-sanctioned rodeos held each year. There are nearly 5,000 pro rodeo members competing on the circuit, with almost $39 million in prize money awarded across 1,700 performances, but according to Round-up Board member Sean McAllister it’s more than just the money that makes Lakeview an attractive destination. “We’re getting big names coming here, which shows the commitment and care,” said McAllister. “When they come down here it’s family, a lot of the rodeo guys say they like coming here because it’s laid back and friendly. They can bring their families and everything is peaceful. It’s one of the few community-driven functions that is welcoming as the best of both worlds combining small town feel with big league PRCA.”

Magic with Hart to captivate crowds By Jimmy Hall Lake County Examiner
Specializing in interactive magic and mentalism, Magic with Hart’s Hart Keene has been dazzling masses with his showmanship at colleges, corporate events and fairs around the country. Hart will put on two performances per day at the south lawn gazebo stage starting Friday, Sept. 2, one at 4 p.m. and another at 7:30 p.m. He will return Saturday, Sept. 3 for shows at 2:30 p.m. and 5 p.m. His final day will be on Sunday, Sept. 4 at 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. Not only will he perform magic shows for a seated audience, Hart will take his slightof-hand and mind reading tricks throughout the fair in-between his sets. He calls these strolling shows which will take place at least twice every day when he
has scheduled performances. Traveling up and down the I-5 corridor, Hart keeps himself busy performing at colleges, northwest fairs and the corporate market. Coming to Lake County is a bit off the beaten path for Hart, but he hopes to be able to thrill his audience regardless. Hart has appeared on NBC’s “America’s Got Talent,� where he swallowed one needle and pulled a string of them out of his mouth. He will soon make an appearance on TNT’s adventure series “The Librarians� this fall. He performs at a handful of fairs per year, around three to seven, ensuring that each show is suitable for children and adults alike. Though it is a stage show, Hart is interactive with his audience, calling volunteers up to help with his illusions. Hart said he often gets com-

House leads NL FFA, grooms lamb for Fair By Jimmy Hall Lake County Examiner North Lake FFA Chapter Pres. Garrett House has been busy over the summer preparing a lamb to show and sell while upholding his duties. This year’s project is a bit different for House, a lamb that has had his attention was acquired at birth. He explained he is used to getting similar animals when they are 3-4 months old when they are already accustomed to feeding on grain and hay. Last year his family had an ewe, leading to breeding her to raise the new lambs from birth since the beginning of summer. House explained that raising a lamb from birth creates more of a connection between owner and lamb. “You help it get milk from the mother and other aspects of its early life stages,” he said. “When you just buy the lamb you don’t get that process to watch it grow and develop.” In the process of preparing to get the best buck come the market sale auction, House puts a halter on the lamb and takes

Leading North Lake’s FFA chapter and raising a lamb to show at Fair, Garrett House makes strides in his last year of FFA. it out for walks in order to build muscle. His set route is between a half and full mile each day on his driveway in Fort Rock. “Lambs are the in-between animal at fair,” he explained. With sheep they are more agreeable since owners are using their hands while using a stick to maneuver a pig. Lambs are also easier to control than a steer because of the size. “They’re easier to handle and you get more personable,” he said. “If something went wrong, it’s easier to control them.” The money raised from the livestock auction will go toward House’s fund for college. His plans for after high school aren’t set in stone, but he’s considering pursuing diesel mechanics at either Oregon Institute of Technology or Linn-Benton Community College. Along with his time serving as president of the FFA chapter, House assists the 4-H clubs in North Lake to help them learn how to show and sell their lambs. His ex-
perience raising lambs stretches back since beginning 4-H in the fourth grade, making this his eighth year to date. “This year I hope not only to do a great job but help set an example for the kids who are coming in through the program,” he said. During the school year, House participates on the North Lake football team on both offense and defense. This season House will be the only senior on the team. He also competes in basketball, track and field and baseball. Other extracurricular activities include serving as assistant vice-president of FBLA, Student Council, taking part in the local grange and as a member of Fort Rock Historical Society. “I’m pretty booked all the time,” he said with a laugh. His family has lived in Fort Rock his whole life on a leased-out farm. His father, Mike, hauls hay and mother Laura works at North Lake School.
Next that day will be Cascade Rye’s performance from 2 – 3 p.m. followed by DJ Bryan Ward from 3:30 – 4:30.

Empty saddle ceremony honors past presidents
By Kurt Liedtke Lake County Examiner Entering the 97th rendition of the Lake County Round-up, a solemn ceremony has become one of the most endeared traditions kicking off each day of rodeo events. The empty saddle ceremony honors past Round-up presidents, Garrett d i re c to rs and grand marshals who have died in the past year. This year it is two past presidents being recognized, Lyle “Bud” Garrett and Farrel Sternes. Before the start
of the first event, a family member or close friend will lead a horse with an empty saddle in front of the grandstands signifying the final ride for each Lake County cowboy lost in the past year who diligently worked for the Round-up. Garrett was Roundup President in 1973 and also served as Round-up Grand Marshal in 2007. Born June 12, 1923, Garrett died at 93 years old on June 14, 2016. Garrett was destined to serve with the Round-up, part of a multi-generational tradition. The Garrett family often provided stock for the rodeo, with George Garrett (1954) and Ed Garrett (1964) also serving as Round-
up president. A lifelong westside rancher, Garrett rode calves, bareback, saddle bronc, roped and helped gather cattle for the Round-up each year. Later he became arena director and worked bucking Sternes chutes. Garrett served in the Navy on the battleship U.S.S. North Carolina during World War II, and after returning from the war married his wife, Frankie. He purchased the original Garrett Ranch and nearby acreage, creating what is today known as
the Rafter L Ranch. The couple had two children, Mike and Joy. Leading Garrett’s empty saddle at this year’s ceremony will be Garrett’s grandsons, Buddy, Matt and Michael Harlan. Farrel Sternes was Round-up president in 2007, and served as director of the association for many years. As chairman of the special events committee for a decade, Sternes was instrumental in adding special side attractions to the festivities such as chariot races. Born on Feb. 10, 1928, Sternes was part of a ranching family in northern California that established roots in the 1870s. Sternes grew up
in Modoc County where he ranched for over 50 years, and later moved to Davis Creek after selling his homestead. After three years in the U.S. Air Force, Sternes’ family moved to New Pine Creek, where he lived for many years raising cattle, alfalfa, meadow and grain hay. He and his wife, Fayetta, raised three children; Nancy, Leeann and Keith. Sternes died on Nov. 28, 2015 at 87 years old. Leading the empty saddle honoring Sternes at this year’s Round-up will be Courtney BallardYoung, who served as Round-up Princess in 2007 when Sternes was president.

Pres. Price enters Familiar Territory In past Round-ups it was tradition for the president to serve only one year, but with James Price returning as the 2016 Round-up President it affords a much clearer picture of expectations. “It’s still pretty hectic, but not nearly as pressured as last year knowing what to expect,” said Price. “I still have to make sure everything is getting done, but it’s not as stressful.” As the 2015 Round-Up President, Price took on the large burden of assuring that the fairgrounds facilities were prepared, stock and cowboys arrive on time, schedules are set, fees are paid and every other detail was in order to assure a quality rodeo. Price wasn’t alone in this venture, with a wealth of past presidents, vice-president Scott Graham and volunteers helping him coordinate with the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA), but at the end of the day the responsibility fell on Price’s shoulders to make sure everything was in order. Following a successful 2015 show both Price and Graham are once again developing the 2016 rendition of the Lake County Round-Up, but with some changes in store and a year’s experience in the role. A change in structure of the Roundup organization has put more responsiBy Kurt Liedtke Lake County Examiner

James Price returns as the Round-Up president for the second year in a row, breaking from tradition of a one-year-term of service.
Vickerman Returns as Round-up Queen
A change in format in 2016 has afforded something unprecedented in the 97-year history of the Lake County Round-up, as Mattee Vickerman will serve a second year as Round-up Queen. Aside from 1929-1931 when there was no Round-up Queen, Vickerman enters uncharted but familiar territory, executing her duties for her role reprisal without the aide of a Round-up princess. A recent graduate of Paisley High School with plans to attend Eastern Oregon University in La Grande majoring in biology, Vickerman is proud to be the first to take on the role of queen for a second year. “It was great having a princess last year because we had so much fun. Ruby (Wilson) was QUEEN MATTEE awesome, we had a See page 18 By Kurt Liedtke Lake County Examiner

bility on a centralized committee rather than one person, making the overall process easier to manage. Also changed was the Round-up Court tryouts, moved from the spring to August for the following year’s court. While Round-up Queen Mattee Vickerman, like Price, is reprising her role another year after 2015’s events, the 2017 court will be announced during this year’s PRCA Round-up. This will allow for more time to prepare for a busy summer schedule accompanying the Round-up president to other rodeos promoting Lake County’s event. That task will instead fall to Graham, who after two years as vice-president will take over as president for the 2017 Round-up. “Holding the tryouts in the fall allows the girls much more time to get their outfits ready, more time to ride and prepare, and get to early rodeos,” said Price. “There are a lot of spring rodeos in California that now the girls will be able to attend, so next year we’ll be ready to go in the spring.” While there is still maintenance and paperwork to handle, Price indicated that the 2016 Round-up will be largely status quo from the previous year’s show with only a few changes. Steer tripping, an event tried for the first time last year, has been eliminated from competition after some complaints over the violence of the event, and women’s barrel racing has been changed to an open event to attract more competitors. The role of president has been one that Price has been molded for his whole life, growing up around rodeo events and eventually competing in junior rodeos through college, while still team roping to this day when his busy schedule allows. Price can’t place exactly when he started his involvement with the RoundUp, recalling that Larry Maxwell recruited him many years ago to work in the bucking chutes and he has steadily been involved ever since. When the Lake County Round-up became affiliated with the PRCA in 2014 it added a whole new burden for the president, having to manage a huge upgrade in rodeo quality in stock and competitors placing Lakeview on the pro circuit. While pressure always exists to do things bigger and better than the year before, the switch to PRCA-sanctioned rodeo action comes with a veritable mountain of paperwork and planning to fulfill PRCA’s requirements and ensure everything runs smoothly. Thankfully, after going through the ordeal once before, Price is much more confident in accomplishing the task for 2016. “I think everything is going smooth this year,” assured Price. “It should be a great show.”

Withers’ to Serve as Grand Marshals
For 86 years, Alan and Ginger (Maddock) Withers have rarely missed a Lake County Fair and Round-Up. This year they will again be in attendance, but from a different perspective, after being named the 2016 Lake County Round-Up Grand Marshals. “We were surprised, but I guess it was just our turn,” laughed Ginger (Maddock) Withers. “We must be the oldest ones left in Lake County.” Both at 86 years old, the couple met in high school in Lakeview and were married in 1950. They will celebrate their 65th wedding anniversary this December. They have three sons, Mike (deceased), Dave, who now resides in Klamath Falls, and Dan, who today manages the Withers Ranch in Paisley. It has been a multi-generational Withers family operation based just north of Paisley ever since Alan’s great-grandfather John Allen Withers first came to Lake County in 1871, establishing a patent for a ranch on Withers Creek. For well over a century the Withers family has raised sheep and cattle, abandoning the sheep business in the 1950s to focus solely on cattle. Today the ranch is around 8,000 acres with 1,350 head of cattle, all of which is overseen by the exBy Kurt Liedtke Lake County Examiner

and nieces scattered around southern Oregon, including Sammy Withers, a teacher in Lakeview. “Round-Up is where you meet your neighbors,” added Ginger. “Everyone is so busy during the year, it’s the one time of the year we can all get together with our neighbors and have a good time.” The Withers family are no strangers to the Round-Up. Their son Mike won an award for being the youngest cowboy in the annual parade in 1956, while “Uncle Red” Withers was a Round-Up president. Multiple extended family members have participated in different aspects of the Round-Up, including a few brave souls who ride and rope in the ranch rodeo. Alan and Ginger both note the 4-H auction, parade and rodeo at each year’s Fair and Round-Up as being particularly enjoyable for them. Aside from a few years in the 1950s when the couple lived overseas while Alan was a flight instructor in the Air Force, the pair have never missed a Round-Up since they were young children. Now as Grand Marshals, they will have a different seat for the events than what they are used to, but will take on a role they care deeply about in the great tradition of the Lake County Round-Up and ranching lifestyle. “Ranching is just a good, healthy life,” said Alan.

blast and made so many memories,” said Vickerman. “It was nice to have a second person there, but having gone through it once before I’m handling it well. I know everybody now, I’m not afraid anymore, I know how to do a grand entry and flag run. It’s not about new territory, now it’s about furthering the experience.” The daughter of Bret and Nicole Vickerman with three siblings; RaeLea, Alena and Basil, the role as queen is one she naturally and happily adapted to after a lifetime of riding and working on the family ranch in Paisley. A standout multi-sport athlete at Paisley School, Vickerman was also heavily involved in 4-H, student council and National Honor Society. This summer returning as queen has given her more opportunities to move outside her comfort zone by promoting the Round-up at rodeos around the region in places like Sisters, Klamath Falls and Cedarville, Calif. Vickerman being queen for a second year allows a change in the format of determining rodeo queens that will only add to the excitement of the annual Round-up. Six women tried out to be chosen for the 2017 Round-up Court, but unlike in past years where winners were announced following conclusion of the tryouts, this year the sextet must anxiously wait for the announcement to be made during the second day of the PRCA Round-up. All six will get to ride
in the Round-Up parade alongside Vickerman and visiting courts, and a royal court brunch will include all tryout participants and visiting courts. “I think the format change is a great idea,” said Vickerman. “This way they’ll have months to prepare to focus on riding, clothes, schedules. A queen’s season is typically the summer, but this way they can attend things like Rotary and Soroptimist meetings and meet with sponsors and attend spring rodeos. I like the transition. I think it makes it more dramatic and the announcement is a bigger deal.” Vickerman noted how the 2015 experience as queen has helped her grow as a person, being more confident in communicating with others and embracing new experiences. She recognizes that there may be added notoriety for being the first multi-year queen, but it is a task she would have done a hundred times over if asked. “It’s a great experience,” added Vickerman. “I was on the fence about it, and now I’ve done it two years and loved it. Any girl that’s on the fence needs to pursue it, and even if they don’t get it the first year come back again because you will get your chance. We had some come back to try out again this year, and I respect that so much, it shows how much they care that we carry on the tradition.”

Strubel learns welding skills in 4-H By Jimmy Hall Lake County Examiner Lakeview’s Metal Fabrication 4-H club has been working on a variety of projects for the upcoming Fair to exhibit, but one may turn heads made by 13-year-old Avery Strubel. A trailer that can pull just about any vehicle, big enough to hold an ATV and looks as though it can be bought from any recreational vehicle retailer was made by Strubel over months of hard work thanks to the guidance of his mentors. Jack Vernon and John Markus, with the help of Adam Gonzalez this year, leads the club in learning basic and advanced techniques of how to fabricate, cut, torch and every kind of welding skill. The decade-old club meets
every Tuesday to learn and work on projects. Its leaders told the group that the skills acquired will behoove them since it can be incorporated into all stages of life. In the members’ first year they learn how to build boot scrapers and move onto a wire feed weld project the second year. Strubel’s project last year, a horseshoe table, won grand and reserve champion. He made a pair of the tables, one residing in the Strubel home, while the other will make its way to this year’s Oregon State Fair to be admired by thousands. Creating the unique piece of furniture involved welding six horseshoes into a perfect circle and another six up a few feet with a few more to hold up the glass tabletop.
Being in his third year, Strubel got to choose his project, opting to go for an ATV trailer. The first step of the process was ordering the steel, then measuring and cutting the steel, building the axel and putting it on its frame. Then he got to paint its frame once the fenders were attached and added the wooden deck to complete the project. Strubel said the whole project was daunting at first but he powered through it to the end. The trailer acts as an entrepreneurial exercise for the young welder as well. He had to borrow money from his parents, Nick and Rene, to pay for the materials, so he plans to sell the trailer, using the proceeds to payoff his debt, and will use leftover funds toward
JIMMY HALL/Lake County Examiner
Avery Strubel, member of Lakeview’s Metal Fabrication 4-H club, displays a couple of his achievements from his years in the club including a trailer that will be shown this year and a horseshoe table that will be shown at this year’s Oregon State Fair. his next trailer. He anticipates the second trailer that he’ll make will be full profit. Strubel was just 11 years old when he first picked up a welder. “I just learned from doing it,� he said. For his 13th birthday, he re-
ceived a Lincoln 180 wire feed welder to put his skills to practice while at home. Though he is young, Strubel has some interest in carrying it on throughout his life if opportunities present themselves.

An allaround Fair exhibitor By Jimmy Hall Lake County Examiner
GiGi Outland began her habit of showing what she created throughout the year since her youth, carrying out the exhibiting tradition from her mother and to the younger generation. Outland’s mother, Emma Caffrey, was a 4-H leader for 30 years in Lake County, Montana. There, she learned the arts of sewing, gardening and cooking in one club, making 4-H and Fair a part of her life. When Caffrey passed away when Outland was 40 years old, she thought she would carry on her mother’s legacy. She helped run the Sew and Sew 4-H sewing club starting in 1970 when she moved to Oregon, falling short a decade of service from her mother’s time. “I thoroughly enjoyed that,” she said, estimating that there were about 100 kids that she taught throughout the years. Nowadays, Outland focuses on a little sewing, with flowers and cooking exhibits taking the most of her attention. Throughout the year she keeps in mind what she wants to work on to enter into Fair. “You learn if you want to win some awards, you have to do specific things to be (compliant to the qualifications). The Fair Premium book tells you everything you need to know.” This year, she has been working on a crocheted afghan, baby quilt and perhaps a sweater. Since she recently moved in to town, it has stunted growing projects, moving flowers and vegetables to the backseat this year, though she still enjoys gardening

In her home work room, GiGi Outland displays her afghan that will be exhibited at the fiber arts department, one of several that she has brought and presented at various fairs in Lake County and away. onions and potatoes. She has also been involved in the canning class over the years, preserving everything from applesauce, tomatoes and jams. “I love home-done applesauce and tomatoes that I use in a lot of foods,” she said. “I learned from knee high,” she added, saying that her mother canned everything that was grown in their family garden. She said it takes a little more work to protect veggies from the weather in Lake County than where she grew up along with keeping them ground squirrel free. “People say, ‘I couldn’t win,’ but when no one enters anything there’s nothing to look at,” she said, adding that it is a learning experience when participants take notes from the judges. To keep involved in the Fair besides
her entries, Outland also volunteers to clerk for 4-H clothing class, keeping track for the judges and hangs the ribbons when awarded. “4-H is a great program for kids,” she said of the organization that groomed her early in life and what she assisted with, seeing the fruits of labors each Fair. “It emphasizes individuals and skills.” To those who are interested in submitting for Fair open class, Outland said, “Do it. It’s well worth it. If nobody enters there’s nothing to ooh and awe over. The comradery and seeing what other’s have been growing and making gets me excited each year for fair time,” she said. Her and her husband, Matt, live in South America half the year, running a cattle ranch.
Jama Harms auction changing times at Stock sale By Jimmy Hall Lake County Examiner A change in time when the annual Jama Harms Memorial Scholarship animal will be auctioned off during the Lake County Fair market sale hopes to accommodate to its bidders. For at least the last 20 years, the goat or lamb was sold before that animal’s class. Starting this Fair, it will be the first animal on the auction block, kicking off the sale in grand fashion. Oregon State University 4-H program coordinator Jamie Davis explained that the sales committee chose to make the alteration to allow those who wish

Kenzie Threet, last year’s Jama Harms lamb raiser, took the opportunity to raise this year’s lamb to honor past Lake County 4-H member for the livestock market auction.
to contribute to just that fund to stick around for just that auction. “There are some who come just to bid on that animal,” said Davis, adding that it has been that way for about two decades. “It will be a stable selling point for the community,” Davis said. The sale, to be held Saturday, Sept. 3 at 12:30 p.m. at the sales barn, will formally announce this year’s recipients. These Lake County students are Amanda Arcularius, Carley Cahill, Teona Cobian, Anna Fledderjohann, Nathan Gilbert, Becky Larson, Tenysen Patzke, Hannah Ramsey, Ashley Reece, Danielle Thames
and Mattee Vickerman. Raising and donating this year’s lamb was Kenzie Threet, junior member of the North Lake Livestock 4-H club. This is Threet’s second year raising the annual lamb. The scholarship has helped support over 50 members of 4-H and FFA with college-related expenses since its inception in 1996. The scholarship was started in memory of Jama Harms, dedicated 4-H member of Goose Lake Livestock club, who died unexpectedly in 1995. For more information, contact Davis at 541-947-6054.

Let’s go build a kite By Jimmy Hall Lake County Examiner Like most of its group and one-on-one activities, Lake County Youth Mentor Program (LCYMP) presented a challenge for mentors and their mentees to work on at the Education Service District (ESD) office on the evening of Thursday, Aug. 18. This go around, the pairs were tasked with creating a paper kite worthy enough of flight and a blue ribbon, working vigorously over ice cream sundaes. These kites will be submitted in open class of the Crafts Department at this year’s Fair exhibits. Building involved following instructions to glue, tape and thread string through a paper kite. Others were more successful than some in the ability to follow instructions. Types of kites included basic hexagonal shapes to those that were catfish and butterfly varieties. Before or after building, whatever the pair chose to do, the pairs decorated their kites with colored markers or watercolor. Mentor and mentee pair Marcie Wade and Briar Morgan colored their hexagon kite with “Have a Beautiful Day!� along with watercolored design around the perimeter. Mentee Jose Rosales opted to go with a Pokemon Go drawing, summoning up the popular smartphone app. In past Fairs, projects for open class included creating dream catchers and birdhouses.

Lakeview trio brings local ties to PRCA rodeo By Kurt Liedtke Lake County Examiner
Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) is considered the major leagues of rodeo, but when the circuit comes to Lakeview for the annual Lake County Round-Up there will be a trio of familiar faces competing alongside some of the best cowboys in the world. Shawn Greenfield, a veteran steer wrestler on the PRCA circuit since 1997, will return to PRCA competition in Lakeview for the first time since 2014 during the inaugural PRCA-affiliated Round-Up. Joining him are two up-and-coming collegiate cowboys, Jack Graham and Rial Engelhart, both of whom grew up competing in junior rodeos at the Lake County Fairgrounds. Graham, a team roper who has participated in five PRCA events this summer, is a sophomore collegiate roper for Montana State University. Engelhart, also a sophomore, will be entered in calf roping at the Round-Up after competing in four rodeo events this summer. In the fall he will compete in rodeo for Fresno State University. Seeing the next generation of local Lakeview cowboys reach the PRCA ranks is a source of great pride for Greenfield, who accompanied Engelhart to one rodeo this summer and has done his best to show the two youngsters the ropes despite compet-

ing in different events. “It’s a real cool deal seeing these young kids work hard and try to get better all the time,” said Greenfield. “They are the future of rodeo. I’ve tried to help them where I can. I think there’s going to be a ton of kids from Lake County that will get into PRCA in the future now that it’s part of the Round-Up, that’s just going to make them so much more interested.” For both Graham and Engelhart, spending the summer at different PRCA rodeos competing against some of the best cowboys around has been both a rewarding and eye-opening experience, one both claim will help them immensely entering their second year of college competition. “Quality of PRCA is way higher than college rodeo, it’s a lot stiffer,” said Graham. “Teams are a lot faster, pro rodeos are set up to be faster and competition is definitely tougher. I had a couple good runs in PRCA but I was way more successful in college. It’s going to help me a ton and be more competitive, knowing that I can rope to a higher level than in college.” Graham’s team roping partner is Colton Gow. “PRCA is way tougher competition than in the college ranks, but it’s great to have the competition and see more of it,” added Engelhart. “It gives me more experience and confidence in college rodeo because it’s not nearly as competitive.” As a homecoming from college and also a return for a circuit veteran to see friends and family, for the trio the Lake County Round-Up will mark a special occasion on the PRCA circuit. For Graham and Engelhart it is their final time competing as a PRCA cowboy before returning to college competition, while for Greenfield it’s a chance to come home and see family after many months on the road. Also, having a hometown crowd supporting them helps too.
KURT LIEDTKE/Lake County Examiner
Jack Graham, a sophomore at Montana State University, is one of three PRCA cowboys with Lakeview ties competing at this year’s Round-up. “It’s great having a home crowd, the support from the community is unreal,” said Greenfield. “I was there in 2014 and the fans were great, the support was just tremendous.” All three will take full advantage of the Round-up’s extended events, joining the ranch rodeo competition as well. Engelhart will compete in tie down roping, Greenfield in steer wrestling and Graham in team roping. “It will be pretty neat being able to come back for the last rodeo of the summer at home, very surreal,” added Engelhart. “There’s always the home advantage because I’ve competed in that arena many times, I’ve practiced there, did junior rodeo there, worked on facilities there. It’s very comforting to know that so many people will be there supporting me. I grew up with Jack (Graham) and we’ve looked up to Shawn (Greenfield) for a long time, having the three of us there at the local rodeo will be neat to us and everyone attending.” “This is what I’ve always wanted to do, come home and compete in front of all of my family and friends,” said Graham, who began competing in kids rodeos as early as five years old at the Lake County Fairgrounds. “I just want to put together a good run with my partner in front of the hometown crowd. I don’t consider myself a pro yet, but I’m trying to work my way up the ranks and get my
foot in the door. Shawn set high standards by going far in the PRCA for a long time, it’s our goal to get to the finals at some point in our lives to carry that forward.” Regardless of the final rankings following events at this year’s PRCA, the connection to home for Lakeview’s trio of competitors marks a passing of the torch generationally helping to keep the heritage of Lake County rodeo alive for years to come thanks to the PRCA affiliation with the Round-up. “The Round-up board are a great committee,” said Greenfield. “They stepped up having the pro rodeo here and are having great success, my hat’s off to them.”

Exhibits Change with the Times Between every Lake County Fair, the Fair Association does their best to reevaluate their respective departments to accommodate for their exhibitors, who itch to show their creations come Fair time. In recent times, the chairpersons have done a bit of tweaking while keeping with the spirit of the exhibit. Lissa Webbon, Fair Association president and Fiber Arts chairperson, said each year varies in terms of what is brought to exhibit, citing that her department had half a dozen quilts last year while just a couple years before there were about 40 total. One change was in its name, which used to be Textiles. She explained the change in name was because the former incorporated only fabric, so it fit into other crafts such as hand-knitting, hand-embroidery, weaving, rugs and fiber arts. An example Webbon gave was one exhibitor out of the ordinary in displaying her creation was Laury Cron of Warner Valley, who made a crochet wedding dress done with a peacock feather design. “It was an absolutely to die for wedding dress with tiny beads in the thread. It was exquisite and all her own design,” she said, adding that it By Jimmy Hall Lake County Examiner
went to the state fair. “We have very talented people who don’t go out to buy a pattern, but make it themselves.” There were also recent changes last year to the crafts department to accommodate the rise in popularity of LEGOs. The home economics department also added cupcakes to its exhibit to make room for the craze. As heads of departments, they try to reevaluate each entry description to reflect the changes that their exhibitors want to show every year. “As department chairs we try to keep up with the trends,” said Webbon. On the topic of department chairs, Webbon explained that volunteers, taking a lot of time and effort, put on the Fair. “We are thin on having enough people to chair each department,” she added. “We always need help.” She added that the Thursday morning before fair requires all entries to be brought in between 7 a.m. and 12 p.m. while flower entries come in on Friday. Setup is most important, but on Monday at 4 p.m., the breakdown happens so the exhibitors can collect their belongings. The Fair Association meets every month on the third Tuesday at 6 p.m. at the Fairgrounds office. Besides November and

Along with the Fiber Arts, several changes are made to exhibit departments to make way for current trends and specialties.
December, every monthly meeting is dedicated to improving the Fair operations. The next meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, Sept. 20, to brainstorm on what went well, what didn’t, and what could be improved. Together, chairpersons make a concentrated effort to examine each department for potential changes that could be made.

Upgrades welcome at Fairgrounds By Jimmy Hall Lake County Examiner
Since February when she took the position, Fairgrounds Mgr. Ronne Lindsay and maintenance staff have been hard at work in coordinating, constructing, building and otherwise working to guarantee that the facilities are up to snuff when Fair and Round-Up roll around. The crowning jewel of the year’s work is the addition of two ADA family restrooms and refurbishing the existing pair that are located under the arena grandstands. See accompanying article in this edition for the full story. Also completed was the breezeway project, which connects the two exhibit buildings with a more stable roof and canvas siding to protect visitors from the elements when hopping to and from each building, when needed throughout the calendar year. A storeroom was also
cleared out to make room for tables and chairs to have additional space in the exhibit buildings and from under the grandstands. The ATM was relocated near the office in a closet type and more secure location, since it was stolen prior to the Fourth of July festivities this year. “Anytime you have an ATM you have to have it secured,” Lindsay said, likening it to a bank ATM that are secure inside for the most part. Plenty of trees and shrubs were planted along the south entrance into the grounds with hopes of a tree line in a few years thanks to the gardening skills of Barb Stevens, who helped decorate the new bathrooms and contribute to other projects on the grounds. Gardeners also put in Aspens around the grounds. Thomas Creek Livestock 4-H club took the time to throw on paint clothes and grab brushes to give garbage cans a fresh coat of bright colors in hopes
JIMMY HALL/Lake County Examiner
With just a week left to go, the Fairgrounds are still getting work done. One addition of many that better ulitizes and beautifies the grounds this year are tree shrubs that will grow into a barrier with time. they will stand out and cut back on litter over Labor Day weekend. There was also patchwork done by the Lake County Road Department on the food court area to help prevent tripping. Trenches for 4-H washouts were also improved to provide more pressure while cleaning their projects. The horse barn stalls were partially demolished due to most of them being not entirely
safe. A few were left over and will be used as overflow for pig and other projects. There will be new 22 by 33 foot tents to be used for the food court and will be available for rent throughout the year. With all these additions, staff hope the tiresome work and dedication from volunteers will be appreciated and kept clean not just for Fair but all year round.
Team roping events continue to honor Lake County legend By Kurt Liedtke Lake County Examiner While the PRCA rodeo action draws in big crowds to the Lake County Fairgrounds arena, off in the distance there is just as much fast-paced rodeo action across three days as for the second year the Round-up incorporates team roping events at the Neil Flynn Memorial Roping Arena. Welcoming around 1,500 teams expected through the American Cowboy Team Roping Association (ACTRA) sanctioned event, bleachers are provided for a much closer view of the action than what is available in the main arena. The team roping addition was the idea of Neil Flynn, a former Round-up presi-
dent, who pushed hard to add a second arena to the fairgrounds for team roping activities. Flynn would not see his dream come to fruition, dying in May of 2015 in an untimely roping accident, but the arena now dedicated in his honor carries on the team roping tradition. At last year’s inaugural events teams came from as far away as Montana to rope in the Flynn Memorial Arena during the annual Round-up, events running from sunup to sun-down across all three days of the Roundup to accommodate all of the teams desiring to get in a run, with just as many if not more teams expected to compete this year. Having so many
team roping tandems arrive on scene in addition to ranch rodeo cowboys and PRCA pros can make for a chaotic scene trying to find parking space to fit in everyone, but somehow parking crews make it all work to shuffle in and out horse trailers. “Everyone thought we were nuts bringing in another 1,500 contestants last year, but we got it done,” laughed Sean McAllister, a Round-up Board member in charge of managing facilities during the annual Roundup. “We got it contracted and figured out parking and everything, we’re keeping things status quo this year with the Flynn Memorial Roping.” During the first day of action on Saturday, Sept. 3 admission is free

Buck Sutfin and Jim Peterson compete in team roping at the Neil Flynn Memorial Roping Arena at last year’s Round-up. This year’s events will once again include team roping action for three straight days in the Flynn arena. to watch the action at the roping arena, but due to PRCA events in the main arena on Sunday and Monday a ticket to the PRCA rodeo is required to access the roping arena to watch the final two days of action. It is a completely separate stock contractor from
the PRCA providing cattle for the roping, assuring no shortage while the two events run side-byside providing non-stop rodeo action throughout the duration of the annual Round-up. Neil Flynn wouldn’t have had it any other way.

A taste of New York By Jimmy Hall Lake County Examiner

With its colorful trailer, Mustache Mike’s anticipates making an impression by dishing out cups of Italian Ice to Lake County fair-goers.
Mustache Mike’s, catering refreshment Oftentimes Lake County’s blazing sun leaves fair attendees parched while visiting all nooks and crannies available at Fair and Round-Up. In their fourth year, Mustache Mike’s from Redmond has been dishing out cups of Italian Ice, becoming a favorite especially in their younger demographic since it provides relief from dehydration. Marcia Richardson, one operator of the small stand, said their product is made with real fruit and falls in line with a similar frozen treat -- sorbet. Their most popular flavors are blue raspberry, which always seems to run out, along with the creamy and smooth mango flavor. An up-and-coming flavor is its Tiger’s Blood variety, a blend of watermelon, strawberry and coconut. Richardson said their product is the right balance of shaved ice and ice cream, using real fruit to get the healthy aspect. “We don’t tell the kids that,” she joked. The process of creating the refreshing cup of flavor involves using a machine that they acquired from Italy and runs the ingredients through to get the unique product. Richardson and her husband Randy tend to travel to smaller venues with their business to visit and make new friends. She works in an office during the winter and in the summer the pair travel to horse and car shows and fairs like Lake County’s. “I love Lakeview,” Richardson said. “It’s nice to come to a small town where the kids are respectful and the people are warm and friendly. It’s a good way to end our summer.” By Jimmy Hall Lake County Examiner
A Lakeview local is coming back to the area this year to offer a unique take on fair food. Norene Collins, owner and manager of N’Reener’s New York Style Sandwiches, started her business in 2009 and is now based out of Albany. Since opening shop, which started out as a single trailer and traveled to local fairs, festivals and community events, the operation has outgrown that trailer. It now has four mobile units to take around the mid-Willamette Valley and throughout Oregon. N’Reener’s can bee seen attending Oregon State University home football games and a semi-permanent set up in a parking lot in Albany. “I wanted to come back and fair is one of my favorite times of year,” said Collins. “I had the opportunity to come back this year and I jumped on it.” Filling the menu is New York style sandwiches such as cheese steaks, Italian sausage, hot pastrami and chicken cheese steaks. Recently, the crew added pizzas to the menu after acquiring a pizza wagon. Collins said what draws a crowd in is the smell of freshly grilled onions and peppers that are cooked to order often topped with gooey white cheese. “You

can’t beat it,” she said. What the small business offers isn’t the typical deep fried food, said Collins. “Everything is fresh and cooked that day. We start with raw meat and fresh vegetables prepared that day.” Having attended Lake County Fair and Round-Up throughout her life, Collins called the reason that Lake County’s fair is different than others is the people. “You’re never going to find as great of people than in Lake County. I’ve participated in fairs throughout the state of Oregon and Lake County is truly unique. I’m looking forward to being back in my hometown,” said Collins.

Fun Round-Up Fact Before the first Round-Up took place on Sept. 4, 5 and 6, 1920, a list of 99 individuals stepped up to donate $100 each. There were bad times in the ensuing years, when the Round-Up did not pay its way. The directors borrowed money from individuals, giving notes to John C. Flynn for $1,000 and to Dan Chandler, Charles D. Arther, E.M. Brittain and C.J. Clause for $500 each. These notes were paid off, but the original investments of $100 each were never liquidated.

Whitman connects with K’NEX By Jimmy Hall Lake County Examiner Every so often, Lake County Fair’s exhibit building has one or two exhibits made by either 4-H students or from another creative mind in the public. This year is no exception as evidenced by the towering concoction that Ty Whitman, member of Lego Masters 4-H club, will display. Whitman modified a K’NEX Hyperspace Training Tower so it can be judged in the crafts’ LEGO department during Fair. The original set comes with 2,500 pieces and with two spinning circular discs attached to motors, making it a wonder to look at already. If that wasn’t enough, Whitman added another few feet to the original, snapping piece-by-piece to make it just about touch
the ceiling of his room. Whitman’s mother, Teresa, said it is about twothirds modified and took him about 50 hours of labor across three weeks to put it all together. Whitman described the structure as a fair ride that tilts and moves with figures of men hanging off its sides. “I was just moving with the flow of my imagination,” Whitman said. Its size and complexity will make it a feat in itself to move from his room to the exhibit halls before Fair takes off. “It’s the biggest thing I’ve made,” he added. It will be taken apart pieceby-piece and put back together in the exhibit hall. As a member of the Lego Master Builders, Whitman has honed his creative imagination with his ability to construct. The club started
some years ago and after a two-year hiatus has resurged as a way for 4-H members to have a more artistic outlet. The club is led by Laury Crumley. “We are thankful that it’s something that he’s interested in,” said Teresa. When Whitman was about five years old, he started building LEGO’s, transforming to his interest in K’NEX. “You never know what’s going to come out of your imagination if it’s not from a kit,” he said. Other exhibits that he will submit are a road set and Star Wars Lego set at the fair. “I think it’s a good group of kids and they have a good future for Lego clubs,” said Whitman of his Lego club. “I hope they have a fun fair.”

Fair and Round-up boards plan year-round By Kurt Liedtke Lake County Examiner It takes a lot to put on a County Fair and the annual Round-Up, and at the heart of it all are the dedicated volunteers of the Fair Board and Round-up Directors working year-round to plan and manage the facility. Sean McAllister, Fair Board president, is one of only two individuals that participate on both boards. As Fair Board president, he oversees a board of five members, plus Fairgrounds Mgr. Ronne Lindsay, in managing day-to-day operations of the Lake County Fairgrounds handling budgets, maintenance, scheduling events and planning upgrades. The fairgrounds are utilized well beyond Lake County Fair time, hosting everything from rodeos, horse shows and tuff truck challenges to trade shows, banquets, Easter egg hunts and private parties. Working alongside Tillie Flynn, Ken Kestner, Nancy Albertson and Barb Stephens, the Lake County Fair Board Association work diligently to bring as many activities to the community as possible. “We always have a wish-list of improvements to facilities,” said McAllister, noting major upgrades to bathroom facilities this year in advance of the 2016 Round-up. “Our philosophy is all about utilizing the facility to serve the community as much
as possible, we plan on coordinating as many activities as we can.” Recent new additions to the fairgrounds include a fountain, the Neil Flynn Memorial Roping Arena and a remodeling of several of the animal barns to better accommodate an increase in 4-H and FFA animal projects. Always seeking a way to improve the quantity and quality of events, McAllister said other ideas have included things such as BMX events and tie-ins with 4-H for larger animal shows and clinics. “The thing I don’t want to see is 4-H and FFA opportunities go away for kids,” added McAllister. “Kids in Lake County need opportunities, something to do. I’m mainly in this to make sure we provide that for our kids.” While the Fair Board plans a year-round schedule including handling the annual Lake County Fair, the Round-up Directors of which McAllister is also a member is a much larger collective of volunteers designated into committees to manage and plan the annual Round-up. With pressure to do things bigger and better than the year before, the dedicated group led by secondyear Round-Up Pres. James Price works hard to fundraise, schedule, coordinate and execute all aspects of the annual Round-up. McAllister’s area of focus

Sean McAllister is one of two Lakeview Presidents on both the Lake County Fair Board and Round-Up Board. As Fair Board President, McAllister oversees operations at the fairgrounds year-round. with the Round-up is facilities due to his affiliation with the Fair Board, assuring that the facilities are ready to handle the large crowds and hundreds of horses and cowboys that descend on Lakeview to compete or simply witness the organized chaos. This means everything from pulling weeds before gates open to coordinating with EMS crews and carefully scanning the arena grounds post-destruction derby late at night to make sure every tiny piece of metal has been removed that might otherwise damage a horse’s hoof. With everything from the annual parade to the PRCA rodeo to ranch rodeo to team roping to concerts and more, it is a full slate that the board must
handle balancing every planned activity. Added this year will be an announcement of the 2017 Royal Court during the Roundup’s second day, while making sure that every already-established activity runs smoothly. “It’s a challenge trying to stretch every dollar to see what we can do,” said McAllister. “The good thing is that everyone on the Round-up Board knows there is stuff to do and goes about getting it done. It’s a community thing, beyond just the board members our families are all involved, and we’ll have people come into town just for the Round-up who always volunteer to handle some aspect. Everything is put on 100 percent by volunteer community members.”

Rounding out on almost a century of Round-Up tradition, the annual event wouldn’t be complete without new apparel. As with every year, apparel embellished with the Round-Up logo will be sold before and during Labor Day weekend, which helps support the yearly event and its heritage. A wide selection of hats, gloves, youth hooded sweatshirts, adult sweatshirts and jackets are sure to keep their buyers warm throughout all the nights of the fair as they enjoy the rodeo, concert, Destruction Derby or all of the above. “There are a lot of new colors, styles, but the same low prices,� said Sally Maxwell, who is in charge of apparel sales. Clothing selections are available at A Country Home Floral, located at 221 F. St. in Lakeview. A booth will be set up at the fair beginning on Friday, Sept. 2. The embroidered Round-Up logo is the same with its iconic bucking horse, but the border and
background has changed to feature an arrow design. Proceeds from the sales go toward the Round-Up Past President’s Ed Garrett Memorial Museum. What has been in talks for a while, the Past Presidents are looking to expand the museum to accommodate the nearly 100 years’ worth of Round-Up artifacts. Included in the museum are displays that commemorate all past RoundUp presidents and royalty, along with past relics like the queens’ jackets worn around the state as they represented Lake County’s crown jewel event. Maxwell affirmed that it is important to continue the RoundUp tradition as much as possible. She has ties to the event herself as her daughter Jody (Maxwell) Graham was Round-Up Queen in 1989, her husband Larry was president in 1992 and son Clark was a recent president. The booth will be located under the grandstands near the main entrance way after it is moved from A Country Home Floral on Friday, Sept. 2.

Labor Day Dash kicks off Fair fun By Kurt Liedtke Lake County Examiner Mile High Striders, a Lakeview-based running club, offers a great way to burn off excess calories from the wide swath of fair food to be provided during the 2016 Fair and Round-Up through the annual Labor Day Dash. A community fun run of various distances, the Labor Day Dash welcomes locals and out-oftown visitors to kick off fair festivities right with a jaunt through Lakeview’s streets starting and ending at Steninger Track on the Lakeview High School campus. The Labor Day Dash consists of a kids quarter-mile race
starting at 7:45 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 3 followed by the main race. Options include a one-mile run for youth 14 years and younger, a 5,000-meter (3.1 mile) run or walk or a 10,000-meter run (6.2 miles). Pre-registration forms are available at Howard’s Pharmacy, Holloway Photography and the Lake County Chamber of Commerce, with a commemorative Labor Day Dash t-shirt available for registration forms collected by Tuesday, Aug. 23. Registration costs are $20 with a shirt or $10 without a shirt. Registration for the kids race is $10 with a shirt or $5 without. Alternately,

Fairgrounds parking more organized Labor Day Parade on Schedule By Jimmy Hall Lake County Examiner
Except for perhaps seeing your favorite rodeo participant getting bucked around on their steer or bronc, parking is probably the most stressful aspect of attending any fair. Fairgrounds management is looking to make it a more pleasant experience in the parking piece for all who come in and out of the grounds. The fairgrounds have invested in new signage that will be implemented to help visitors, exhibitors, rodeo participants and fair-goers to know where they need to go. This is all done to make traveling a lot clearer and more designated. General public will be in the regular southwest parking lot with seniors and disabled parking on the west side of the exhibit buildings, with the first row on the adjacent parking lot designated as senior parking only. The southeast parking lot will be assigned for 4-H, FFA, staff, law
Continuing a longstanding tradition, before the action commences in the arena the parade will wind through Lakeview’s streets at the annual Lake County Round-Up Parade. Inevitably the event generates a multitude of house parties along the parade route as families and friends gather to cheer on the parade participants passing by. Starting at 10 a.m. on Monday, Sept. 5, horses, floats, vehicles, destruction derby winners, rodeo court beauties and more will criss-cross through neighborhoods ending at LHS baseball field as a precursor to the day’s PRCA rodeo action at the Lake County Fairgrounds. Parade participants gather near Lakeview High School at 9 a.m. for pre-parade judging, all entries vying for best in show in numerous categories. There are two primary entry categories for judging, the float division and horse division. Floats are designated into categories such as agriculture, industrial, classic and antique vehicles, most unique, junior and senior group and best out of town. Horse divisions include oldest and youngest mounted rider, youngest managing cowboy and cowgirl, visiting rodeo court, mounted junior and senior group, best western dress, best matched team and best single horse drawn entry. The parade this year will be led by the 2016 Grand Marshals, Alan and Ginger Withers of Paisley. Floats representing school groups, organizations, political candidates, companies will be prevalent, with plenty of candy and giveaways prevalent throughout the parade route. Following the 2016 Fair and RoundUp theme of Ribbons, Ropes and Mile-High Hopes, the parade is a highlight of a full weekend’s slate of activities with fun for the whole family. Parade registration forms are available at the Lake County Chamber of Commerce, located at 126 N. E St. or call 541-947-6040. By Kurt Liedtke Lake County Examiner

Fairgrounds Mgr. Ronne Lindsay proudly displays just a few of the signs that will be installed around the grounds to hopefully make parking assignments clearer to all Fair patrons. parking. In the same lot, there will be special designated police and staff parking to resolve a problem that occurred last year. On the southeast side of the roping arena will also be 4-H, FFA and RV overflow. There will be an RV overflow on the southwest side parking lot adjacent to the outdoor historic museum with rodeo specific parking just north. The west entrance will be one lane operating strictly as an exit. Fairgrounds Mgr.
Ronne Lindsay said it makes sense having RV’s in the overflow area to help avoid block-ins that occasionally happened, causing frustration with coming and going. She added it would be more or less the status quo as previous years but more designated, marked and enforced. The Oregon Outback Humane Society (OOHS) will be handling the parking tickets.

Potato bar to help football team By Kurt Liedtke Lake County Examiner Lake County Fair Board starting this year are establishing an annual charity/nonprofit booth, allowing a local organization to operate a stand during the Lake County Fair at discounted cost to raise funds for local causes. The first of these is the Lakeview High School football team, which will be hosting a baked potato bar. Seeking a way to help cover the expense of extra football helmets needed due to a largerthan-expected turnout of prospective football athletes this year, football players will operate a stand offering baked potatoes with an assortment of toppings. Costs vary depending on how high patrons pile on the toppings, with funds raised going directly towards covering equipment costs for the 2016 Honkers football team. “If there’s lots of interest we may do multiple charity

do well, it’s a lot of time and effort and volunteers involved to coordinate it. If it’s successful I think we’ll do it every year, but we want it to be something for the community that goes right back into the area.” The idea of a charity booth at the Fair was brought to the Fair Board by LHS football Head Coach Rusty Zysett and Lisa Shullanberger. After the Fair ends, applications will be accepted for the 2017 rendition of the local charity/nonprofit booth. For this year, it’s all about making sure that every kid that wants to play football has a chance to compete. “This year’s team has been working extremely hard to hone their skills to a product on the field that the entire county can be proud of,” said Zysett about his 2016 Honkers squad. “We return several starters off our team from last year and are looking to continue the traditions we began building last season.”

Steele aims for top at Destruction Derby again By Jimmy Hall Lake County Examiner Last year’s Destruction Derby was an unprecedented event as Melissa Steele became the first Powder Puff winner as the last man, or in this case, woman, standing in the main event. To get there, Steele faced off against fellow Powder Puff contestant Linda Jones from Valley Falls and her rig held together best after countless blows to come out on top when other engines couldn’t run anymore. For Melissa Steele and her boyfriend and 22-year derby participant Eric Hahn, all focus is toward taking the main event once more. The model this go-around is a 1971 Chrysler New Yorker while last year’s was a 1967 Cadillac. She likes the cars that are bigger boat-sized vehicles. “They seem to be a lot tougher,” she said.
For Hahn, Steele and their crew, it takes 6-8 months to build a car after collecting other used vehicles whenever and wherever they can for parts. Preparation is all year long, trying to piece parts together and bring in back-up equipment. As far as preparation goes, it is mostly mental for Steele. About a week before the event, she focuses on what needs to be done, visualizing it, to take the prize. Steele moved to the area four years ago and watched the derby at her first Lake County Fair and Round-Up. The following year, she took the Powder Puff division before taking the main event last year. In a sport that is male dominated, “I’m hoping to see more women do the Powder Puff,” she said, adding that as she went in to the main event last year nerves struck her, “but when I
came around the corner and saw three cars, I said I could win this.” Being in a maledominated atmosphere isn’t new for Steele. Her occupation is as a forestry officer for the Oregon Department of Forestry, running a fire engine with a crew. Before moving to Lakeview four years ago, she was at Cal Fire and Forest Service. She has been around mechanics all her life as well, her father being a mechanic in Chico, Calif., learning all she could in her youth. Defending her title comes with an added pressure, especially when assumptions are that there will be more competition this year. “Everyone wants to put on a good show. Just to see the crowd go crazy, that’s what we want to do,” Steele said. “Never let anyone get you down or say you can’t do something,” she said, adding that some

She eyes a repeat at this year’s event to take place Sunday, Sept. 4 at 6 p.m. following the rodeo. of her assumed setbacks may be that she’s small in stature and female only fuels her fire to go even harder. “I think the Destruction Derby is amazing, a tradition that needs to be carried on.” The Destruction Derby will take place on Sunday, Sept. 4 at 6 p.m. following the PRCA Rodeo. Pre-sale tickets are $10 at Les Schwab Tire Center, Pacific Crest
FCU and SS Equipment. Prices will be $15 at the gate. For those who want to participate, it is $500 admission fees for heats, $200 for the Powder Puff heat. There will also be a trophy given to the MAD (Most Aggressive Driver). The Lake County Desert Cruisers and Lakeview Little League put on the derby.
FFA Alumni ask citizens to be best in show By Kurt Liedtke Lake County Examiner Lakeview’s FFA Alumni Chapter is being reactivated after over a year of dormancy, doing so in grand and hilarious style with the first annual Celebrity Pig Show at this year’s Lake County Fair and Round-up. Now under new leadership, the FFA Alumni Association is a support group for the Lakeview FFA Chapter, helping enrolled students with uniforms and travel expenses for FFA conventions. The group was disbanded over a year ago under protest, but the planned lighthearted event announces a welcome return for the organization. Taking place at the pig ring on Saturday, Sept. 3 following the livestock auction, the event calls out prominent local adult citizens to recall their school
KURT LIEDTKE/Lake County Examiner
Lakeview FFA Alumni are turning the tables on the typical animal showing at this year’s Lake County Fair with what should be a hilarious and entertaining fundraiser to benefit Lakeview FFA, compiling prominent adult citizens to recall their animal showing youth days by participating in a Celebrity Pig Show on Saturday, Sept. 3. days presenting show animals, if they ever did, competing amongst each other to be best in show in front of FFA judges. Entrance into the competition is $5, or people can pay $5 to nominate someone else, who
then have the option to un-nominate themselves from the competition for a $20 fee. The event is expected to last around half an hour, with the eventual best in show pig presenter winning a $50 prize. All proceeds from the
event benefit the FFA Alumni Association. Sign-ups will also be available the day of the event outside of the Fairgrounds pig barn. FFA Alumni Pres. Sheila McKelvie hopes that enough can be collected in entrance fees to purchase at least one FFA student jacket for the upcoming year, or cover some travel expenses for the many FFA events attended throughout the school year. “This should be pretty hilarious,” said McKelvie. “We’ll have an announcer making fun of them the entire time. We’ll have it after the livestock auction and before the concert so hopefully we’ll have a lot of people turn out to watch it.” For more information about the Celebrity Pig Show or FFA Alumni contact Sheila McKelvie at 541-771-8382.

Ranch Rodeo offers plenty of action By Kurt Liedtke Lake County Examiner It’s more than just the PRCA offering up great rodeo action during the annual Lake County Fair and Round-up, as Lake County’s annual Ranch Rodeo will provide several days of roping, riding and branding competition. Structured as a 20-team competition comprised of four members each, events kick off with a Calcutta before the first events on Friday, Sept. 2 at 9 a.m. in the main fairgrounds arena. Teams are competing for a cash pot and buckles, with the top six competitors in men’s and women’s events from the longgo on Sunday reaching a special finals during the PRCA Roundup. Ranch horse riding begins the Friday events, which also includes ranch bronc riding at 6 p.m. Additional events include team doctoring, team roping and team branding. Women’s events include team roping, with around 30 teams compet-

ing, as well as a locals-only team roping competition that will host 35 teams. Adding to the fun is a kid’s branding contest on Thursday, Sept.1 starting at noon. The ranch rodeo draws teams from around the region across Oregon, Nevada and California. The MC Ranch Feedlot and Horns and Hocks Productions are providing stock, while calves for the kid’s branding event are being provided courtesy of Paul Houret Cattle Company. Gabe Cobian Trucking is donating services to transport stock to and from the fairgrounds. Sponsors for the Ranch Rodeo include Arrow Realty, Berutti Ranch, Dinsdale Farm and Equipment, DL Reforestation, Joe John Flynn, Honker Realty, Laird Ranch, Murphy Ranch, Open A Ranch and Gail Allen, Shine Ranch, Sparrowk Livestock, Taylor Ranch and Warren and Joyce Taylor in memory of Farrel Sternes.
Barrel Racing Open to All By Kurt Liedtke Lake County Examiner After last year’s Women’s Team Roping Association (WTRA) barrel racing event drew only a handful of competitors, this year barrel racing events have been opened to all willing competitors during the Lake County Fair and Round-up. Open to any girl with no age limit, the entry deadline allowed amateurs and professionals alike to participate in the event this year requiring only a $100 fee to enter the competition. At stake is a $1,000 prize, with additional placing payouts dependent on the number of competitors entered. Racing will commence during the Sunday and Monday rodeo performances, with the possibility of some spillover into the slack compe-
tition on Sunday. Moving to an open contest has proven a popular draw beyond Lake County’s borders, with confirmed entrants from Klamath Falls, Beatty and Ontario to name a few. The format of the event will remain the same, girls racing around three barrels competing for the fastest possible time. “There was concern from the WTRA pro riders about possibly injuring their horse from metal fragments with the destruction derby held in the arena the night before, but it’s been fun to see all that want to compete now that it’s open to everyone,” said event coordinator Mesa Greenfield. “I think it will give more opportunities for people to come and not only compete but also bring families and enjoy the fair, so I think it’s a good thing.”

Corporate Sponsors Enhance Round-Up Between prizes, fees, stock and crews, organizing a rodeo event as large as the annual Lake County Round-up is an expensive undertaking. Ticket sales don’t cover the cost, making the event impossible to hold if not for the continued generous support of corporate sponsors. This year marks a new fundraising achievement by a group of dedicated volunteers and immeasurable support of businesses to assure that the 2016 Round-up can carry on into its 97th rendition. Sponsors have donated in excess of $80,000 in 2016, topping last year’s previous all-time fundraising high of $71,000, while over the last 13 years over $317,000 has been raised in support of Lake County’s annual premiere event. One reason for the boom in financial support has been affiliation with the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) since 2014, moving Lake County’s biggest rodeo into the big leagues drawing some of the best ropers and riders in the world as well as the meanest broncs and bulls. Follow the money, as bigger cash prizes offered draws the top talents of the sport, making By Kurt Liedtke Lake County Examiner
the annual Round-up one of the best rodeo events in the state of Oregon. Also, the expansion of ranch rodeo events and multiple days of team roping in the Neil Flynn Memorial Arena only adds to the draw of local, regional and the world’s best cowboys. As funding grows it draws not only increased interest from competitors but also for fans of rodeo to make the trek to Lake County’s fairgrounds for the multi-day event, scheduled this year for Sept. 4-5. According to Patsy Hall of Hall Motor Company, this year trying to reserve hotel rooms for friends planning to visit has been a futile effort as everything is booked solid for the week of Round-up. “Thanks to the PRCA and our sponsors it just keeps getting bigger and bigger,” said Hall. To accommodate the ever-growing list of businesses wanting to be a part of the Round-up, new corporate sponsor level categories were created this year as Ranch Rodeo sponsors allowing a donation of the organization’s choice comparative to predetermined donation amounts in various tiers. Cattle Baron sponsors are the highest tier at $5,000 each, these being Hall Motor Company, Lakeview Les Schwab Tire Center and Pardue Construction. The Stockman level of sponsors at $2,500

Lakeview FFA prez, preps for Fair By Jimmy Hall Lake County Examiner Lakeview High School’s upcoming senior FFA president, Rennie Neider, sets his sights on the Lake County Fair, not only for himself but for the chapter he represents. This year, Neider will show and sell a hog after a few months of raising it from piglet to full grown pig. Purchasing it in May, Neider has been giving it adequate amounts of feed and “making sure it stays alive,” he said. With his additional duties as chapter president, Neider commented that the pig is nice this year, adding that the species’ appeal is that they are more time affordable. He recalled one year when he raised a steer that took a lot more of his resources than what he would’ve preferred. Along with being Lakeview’s chapter president, Neider is also district reporter for the FFA Southern Oregon District, encapsulating 12 schools from Lakeview to Medford, though it doesn’t have too many added duties. He has been working with his chapter in fundraising efforts such as car washes and hay baling to bring in income

Lakeview FFA president and LHS senior Rennie Neider prepared a pig this year, along with juggling his many duties in the chapter. for their many endeavors. “One battle at a time,” he said with a smile. When not with his chapter traveling around the state, Neider has been busy with his Supervised Agricultural Experiences (SAE). These have brought him to work at the Lakeview Animal Hospital under Dr. Rod Ferry, learning a lot from his experience. Neider said he’s had great experiences in the hospital but is used as a day worker for Ferry, building steel fences, painting trim or whatever else will give him agricultural experience. “I work wherever he sends me,” he said. These SAE’s are required for
the FFA as vocational education, having an appointment that can encapsulate farming or haying. “For some kids it’s their jobs,” he added. Along with his SAE, Neider has completed several Career Development Events (CDE) in the last year like tractor driving, livestock judging, public speaking and job interview competitions. Ones he was involved in running for district office were ag sales, tractor driving, ag mechanics, and he went to the state convention this past spring. As a member of FFA, Neider said, “For me it’s about being around agricultural people.
The more I go around the state the more I realize there are fewer agricultural people in it, but for the most part the people I get to know and choose to hang out with are part of agricultural backgrounds. It’s neat that all of these people are linked together through FFA,” said Neider. Along with that, through his years in FFA, Neider has not only learned practical skills from how to drive a tractor to being an electrician, but also, “It’s made me more outgoing, speaking to new people and making new friends,” he said. Adding to that, it has also made him learn to plan in order to make sure the work gets done. “As a leader I want to do stuff myself but then I realize there is my officer team to help,” he said. “I didn’t need to be president but I want to be involved.” Outside of FFA, wrestling, football and track, keep him active, “Living on a whim, I suppose,” he said. After high school, he wants to go to Oregon State University to pursue either veterinarian sciences or law enforcement. Until then, Neider is happy serving his fellow FFA members, working and helping on the Neider Family Ranch.
Grandstand restrooms revamped, added By Jimmy Hall Lake County Examiner Rodeo onlookers and participants may be pleasantly surprised when they retreat to the grandstand restrooms this year. Fairgrounds maintenance technician James Merrill, Barb Stephens and others have worked hard to not only refurbish and redecorate the existing restrooms, but also add a pair of ADA accessible and family restrooms. “I’m really proud of them,” said Ronne Lindsay, Fairgrounds manager. The entire set was open for Fourth of July festivities because they were finalized with
the construction aspects, though not fully decorated until recently. The pair of men’s and women’s restrooms were renovated from the ground up. Stalls have been redone and stained with Stephens’ handiwork, who also had a major part in gardening work around the grounds. In each stall, new toilets were installed, 10 in the women’s and four in the men’s. Each stall has a horseshoe for handles, a welcome and appropriate aesthetic addition. New sinks were also set up that go with the theme. Merrill said the barn wood used for the siding of the wash counters was his first venture
in that design choice, but came out well. There is also a lower sink that can be used for younger children in the women’s bathrooms. Larry Maxwell donated a signed poster of the Ross Coleman Invitational from 2006 for the men’s room, which complements other familiar décor. Near the existing restrooms, on the grandstands east end, are brand new family and ADA accessible restrooms. Each of these has one toilet, sink and door lock to ensure privacy. The two additions will bring the count up by two to the six already existing located around the

Cherry Road Gang revisits Re-Ride Room
F a m ily band Cherry Road Gang, made up of three brothers and a cousin, will make their return to the Re-Ride Room for the weekend of Round-Up to perform their Texas Red Dirt country tunes to entertain the crowd. “Even though it was cold, everyone had fun and danced,” said Clayton Andrade, Cherry Road Gang’s lead vocalist and guitarist, recalling their last showing. Stationed in Kelseyville, Calif., the band has ties to Lake County, having participated in rodeos in Lakeview before and knows a few of the local participants themselves. Andrade remembered growing up in Emmett, Idaho and made comparisons to their hometown to Lake County, where everyone knows each other and are accommodating to each other, as well as being a farming community. The family band has a rich history playing at high school rodeos and transitioned to rodeo bars before Andrade moved to Nashville, Tenn. for three years. He received a call from his oldest brother, Cody, who said he would like to reunite the band. Since then, Cherry Road Gang has played local rodeos and fairs. Within the By Jimmy Hall Lake County Examiner
last few years the band has traveled throughout Texas, Oklahoma, Wyoming, Oregon and Nevada to perform. One definite highlight for Andrade and his band mates was when they played for 50,000 Marines at Camp Pendleton in San Diego, Calif. for a Fourth of July beach bash. Recently, they opened up for Texas’ rising country star Aaron Watson. They have also made the PRCA circuit and performed at the Pendleton Round-Up the last three years. Playing across the west isn’t their day jobs however, each one is engrossed in the ranching and rodeo lifestyle. “We all have different jobs on the ranch,” Andrade said. “We are rock stars by night and the next morning we are building fences and shoeing horses.” He joked that they aren’t close to “quitting their day jobs.” Even though they grew up playing rock and roll, growing up in the ranching lifestyle made it natural to adapt to their current musical sound. “I enjoy writing songs that people and my friends can relate to,” said Andrade. He described the band’s sound as country southern rock with a red dirt feel. “It’s Texas country with a Cali twist.” The band plays original tunes from their upcoming album tentatively titled “Chasing Daylight,” produced by Wes Shron in Oklahoma, with

such songs like “Cowgirl Hippie” and “Black Top.” They also take great pleasure in playing covers from ZZ-Top such as “Gimme All Your Lovin’” and Black Berry Smoke’s “I’m Gonna Love You Six Ways to Sunday.” Cherry Road Gang got its name from their nine great-uncles, who served in WWI, WWII, Vietnam and Korean Wars. When they all came home from the war they lived on Cherry Street Lane in Castro Valley, Calif., helping clean up the town, running out gangs, while they were outlaws themselves. “It was in memory of them because we are an all family band, we like the ties and connection,” said Andrade. Cherry Road Gang will play Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 2, 3 and 4 at the Re-Ride Room starting at 9 p.m. each night.

Old Dominion brings familiar tunes to Round-up By Kurt Liedtke Lake County Examiner
When Old Dominion takes the stage at the 2016 Round-up concert they will be performing songs from their 2015 debut album ‘Meat and Candy’ as well as some familiar songs to the audience that they are responsible for, even though they were hits for others. That’s because long before Old Dominion made a name for themselves they were writing songs for some of the biggest names in country music, scoring hits with artists like Kenny Chesney, Keith Urban, Dustin Lynch and The Band Perry. “It’s nice to be recognized now, we moved to Nashville to be songwriters, not be in a successful band,” said Matthew Ramsey, lead singer and guitarist for Old Dominion. “It’s nice to be able to perform our own songs now, it’s like we cut out the middle man, now we’re the ones on stage singing the songs and feeling the connection with the audience.” Rising stars on the country scene, Old Dominion topped the charts with their single “Break Up with Him” followed by the song “Snapback” which reached #2 on the country charts. The group in only a year’s time have gone from session players and songwriters to earning accolades such as the ACM New Vocal Group of the Year and ACC Breakthrough Group of the Year while touring the country with some of the biggest names in music. It’s taken years to reach this point, each member pursuing solo careers or other groups before banding together and touring for years out of a van trying to build an audience, but amidst the newfound success they’re still enjoying life performing with friends and connecting with audiences across the country. “We’re still in the wide-eyed phase, it’s surreal,” laughed Ramsey. “We’ve been doing this for so long we developed a motto ‘it’s never going to work’, and suddenly over the past two years it’s like we’ve been strapped to a rocket. We’ve been on tour with Kenny Chesney playing stadiums in front of 50,000 people, and we wrote a song for Kenny that became a hit for him last year so each night he brings us out on stage to sing it with him. It’s so strange to be on stage in front of thousands seeing Kenny Chesney sing words I wrote, I mean it’s just so far-fetched. Last night we saw Bruce Springsteen play in New York and two nights before that we were on that same stage, I mean it’s crazy.” The Old Dominion sound is atypical of

classic country, but fits squarely into the ever-evolving modern Nashville scene. Like many up-and-coming songwriters in Nashville, the troupe took in many influences listening to country in one ear and rock, pop, R&B, hip hop, punk and more in the other. “We’ve grown up listening to different things,” said Ramsey. “We love country but we also love other genres, and that’s a natural thing that comes out of our sound. With everything being accessible now genres are changing, it makes it easier to listen and be influenced by everything, so it only makes sense for genres to start to bleed together.” Now launching their own headlining tour, Old Dominion is looking forward to performing in both big cities and small towns connecting with fans and appreciating the wild ride they’re on. The trip to Lakeview for this year’s Lake County Fair and Round-up is a return to their roots be-
fore they got signed when they toured in a van performing for small towns wherever they could plug in and play. “Playing small towns is always the best indicator to us that what we’re doing is working,” added Ramsey. “It makes sense to find fans in L.A. or Chicago, but when we can go to a little town we’ve never heard of before out in the middle of nowhere and a few thousand people show up and they’re singing our songs and enjoying our music, that’s when we know it’s working. We never take for granted that people show up and enjoy our music. We’re just a couple of buddies on stage having a blast singing together and I think it reflects to our audience how much fun we’re having.” Old Dominion will perform at the Lake County Fairgrounds on Saturday, Sept. 3. Box seats for the concert are $35, reserved seats are $30 and general admission is $25.

Exhibit numbers show fluctuation By Jimmy Hall Lake County Examiner Ebbs and flows are expected each year when it comes to exhibit numbers, but when it comes to trends and recent events, there are even more upticks and dips in the number of animals to be exhibited, shown and sold. This year in livestock exhibits and market sale, the total number of Lake County 4-H and FFA market livestock numbers have relatively stayed the same with 220 submissions. From 2014 to 2015, they went up 19 submissions and stayed the same since last Fair. Specifically, goats have taken a dip from 30 last year to 13 this year as well as sheep from 53 to 47. Beef numbers have stayed relatively the same, from 54 last year to 57 this year. There will be no turkey showings this go around, though chicken pens will go up by two
while rabbit numbers will stay mostly the same. Interestingly, swine saw the biggest upswing from 86 to 103. Oregon State University extension 4-H coordinator Jamie Davis said it is curious it would be up since a virus recently affected the hog industry and it has become even more difficult to find pigs that are bred for good showing. She continued that the interest in 4-H members changes as well, accounting for some of these fluctuations. Davis said when these changes happen, it has an effect on how they are placed in the barn for holding and showing. It also shifts how the sales change in the logistics of shuffling exhibitors and animals in and out of the barns. Some youth show their breeding projects, lambs for the most part, and other members raise a market animal and dabble in breeding animals like chickens, that will be part of the

While steer numbers stay relatively the same from last year, other animal exhibits to be shown and sold at this year’s Fair will experience some change. showmanship show. “It diversifies what they are learning,” Davis added. On the static, non-animal side of the exhibits, there was another uptick in the photography department, Davis expecting a robust exhibit. She said there has been a large membership turnout in photography clubs in Lakeview area as well as Warner Valley, Paisley and North Lake. “We are excited to
anticipate a lot of entries,” Davis said, adding the extra numbers necessitated new stands for the exhibits. She also said there has been a great number of LEGO entries with the resurgence of the Lakeview Master Builders club along with the North Lake LEGO club.

“Ties to Lake County” quilt raffle to profit seniors By Jimmy Hall Lake County Examiner It may have been a year in the making, but Penny Wiebe is finished and ready to auction off a project of passion that will go toward seniors all around the country. The “Ties to Lake County” quilt incorporated around 250 ties, all intricately sewn together and embroidered with words that are innate with Lake County, including shamrocks and sunstone along with names of locations around the county like Westside, Lakeview, Fort Rock, Adel, Silver Lake and Valley Falls. A list of donors was also stitched on the back. Wiebe describes the process that began with
collecting ties from Lake County Senior Center patrons and then hand washing each one with Woolite before sewing each together one by one. A large part of the donated ties came from the Senior Center-run Opportunity Shop thrift store. The raffle proceeds will be distributed through the Lake County Senior Citizens Association (LCSCA) and its various programs. Wiebes’ stipulation was that the funds would be evenly given to five parts of the county, which include Lakeview/New Pine Creek, Plush/ Adel, Summer Lake/ Silver Lake, Christmas Valley/ Fort Rock and Paisley/ Valley Falls. “Lake is a county, not just a town,”
JIMMY HALL/Lake County Examiner

Andrea Wishart (left) and quilt creator Penny Wiebe stand next to the labor of love to help support seniors around the county. she said. “It’s only fair that the proceeds will be shared.” Wiebe’s entire goal for the extensive project was to pay honor to senior citizens who reside in the county, recounting
other traditions where respect is given more prominently to people in Asian and Native American cultures. When all was said and done, the entire project took Wiebe nine
months from start to finish. “I’m very proud of it,” Wiebe said. “I wanted each piece to be just so,” adding that though mistakes were made, she stands by her work. “It’s a wonderful feeling that people outside are looking out for us, using their talents to support us,” said LCSCA Dir. Andrea Wishart. “It’s not just a quilt, it’s a work of art. Every time something like this happens it’s a real feel good moment.” The quilt is on display at the Lake County Senior Center where tickets can be purchased. At the Lake County Fair, it will be on display in one of the exhibit buildings. Tickets are $5 each.

Olivia returns By Kurt Liedtke Lake County Examiner In a way, Olivia was destined to perform at the Lake County Fair. Last year’s concert marked the first time the 20-year-old Oregon State University student from Canby had performed in Lakeview, but as the daughter of renowned country artist Joni Harms, she has been on stage alongside her mother since she was a small child. Joni Harms was the first headlining act ever to perform at the Lake County Fair and Round-up, meaning that when Olivia returns for the 2016 Fair concert she is fulfilling a multigenerational legacy providing music for Round-up crowds. It is fitting then that Olivia considers last year’s show opening for headliners Dan+Shay as one of the biggest highlights from her burgeoning artistic career. “It was super exciting to play on the same stage that my mom did years ago,” said Olivia. “I had heard wonderful things about the Lake County Fair, and
was flattered by the opportunity. I had an absolute blast last year, I was on cloud-nine. I am so looking forward to doing it again, ever since we confirmed the show I’ve had this circled and underlined on my calendar.” For Olivia the Round-up atmosphere is a reminder of home, having grown up on a multi-generational homestead in Canby outside of the Portland area. The Round-up concert and Lake County life epitomizes her greatest passions, blending the western lifestyle and music. While in her younger years Olivia played a supporting role joining her mother on stage, ever since recording her first album in 2012 the roles have reversed somewhat, her family doubling as her greatest supporters and advisors as Olivia reaches each new milestone in her musical career. Olivia noted how beneficial it has been having a parent who has spent decades in the music industry. While she holds a soft spot for classic country music, as
KURT LIEDTKE/Lake County Examiner
Canby native Olivia will return to the Lake County Fair in 2016 to once again open the annual concert performing prior to headliners Old Dominion. with many modern artists in the genre who have grown up listening to all kinds of different music, Olivia has a sound all her own. An acoustic approach that lends to folk music as well as country, she retains a love for classic sounds created by steel guitar and dobros while enjoying modern country music too. Regardless of the label given, her greatest reward is in the reaction people have to her music.
“I’ve had people tell me I have a folk sound or other sounds, and I’m flattered that I’m able to cater to different audiences I think that’s something very exciting happening in country music right now, though I have a soft spot for old traditional sounds,” said Olivia. “The best part is when people say my music has had an impact on them. It’s most rewarding when I know I have touched someone with my music.” While college is her primary focus right now, Olivia has been working fervently on new material and plans to go into a studio next summer to record her second album. “I’m so excited to see people again that I met last year, they were so much fun,” added Olivia. “I am so excited to reconnect with them and chat with people after the show. There were so many cute cowgirls all dressed up last year, it was awesome. I love being in eastern Oregon and getting to meet people, being invited back for another year is such a blessing.” Olivia will perform on Saturday, Sept. 3 at the Lake County Fairgrounds opening for Old Dominion. The show starts at 6:30 p.m. Box seats concert tickets are $35, reserved seats are $30 and general admission is $25.

Benders bares new logo For their 13th year, Bender’s Promotional Products and Supplies is packing their apparel with recognizable images that can be seen throughout the country at similar rodeo events. There are three depictions of rodeo action, the one front and foremost shows a white bronc bucking his cowboy clean up a few feet into the air. The cowboy, clad in a red shirt, blue vest and white pants and hat, looks down in hopes of landing in a safe area. The other depiction shows another bronc rider getting flung from the horse, a mere couple feet from the ground, all in black and white. The final image shows what any rodeo participant aims for when riding a bronc. The cowboy looks to be in total control as the beast is crouched with its head as close to its front feet as possible. The text is prominent, capping off the three representations reading, “Cowboy 1, Bronc 2.” Underneath in country, worn-out text it reads, “Lake County 97th Fair & Round-Up Labor Day 2016.” The same text is simpliBy Jimmy Hall Lake County Examiner
fied for the breast on front of the navy blue shirt. “We’ve honored the cowboy over the years, but the broncs and the bulls are just as much athletes as the cowboys,” Darryl Bender said. “Now we are doing the unsuccessful rides where the animal is the hero. I don’t see how these guys don’t get beaten up,” he added. Each year, the Bender’s fair attire is always a hot commodity, consistently on the brink of selling out. Darryl said many of his customers are repeat over the years in order to keep up with their collections of Lake County Fair and Round-Up keepsakes.

KC Burgers come back to serve patties After the heat of rodeo competition, admiring Fair exhibits, carnival rides, concerts, Destruction Derbies and other entertainment that the Lake County Fair and Round-Up has in spades, a convenient late night snack is always welcome. St. Patrick Church’s Knights of Columbus has everyone covered for a filling bite, even late into the evening. What began with a couple boards nailed together to create a stand, a hot plate and a few burgers in 1960, the small burger stand has become a mainstay for the Labor Day weekend for decades. What really draws hungry diners in is the well-seasoned patties and sautéed onion rings, creating a palatable burger that may be hard to outmatch. Proceeds from the burgers go toBy Jimmy Hall Lake County Examiner
ward the many endeavors that St. Patrick Church supports. One of which is to remodel the Parish’s kitchen necessitating thousands of dollars in the project. “We need to sell a lot of burgers,” said Jim Huffstutter, Knights member. Customers can get their hands on one of these delicious burgers by coming after Fair closes down at the south end of U.S. Bank at 518 N. 1st St. Single burgers run for $5 while doubles are for $7. There will also be Pepsi products and water sold. The hamburger stand will be open at 11:30 a.m. on Friday, Sept. 2 and will be serving burgers until closing time, which is generally around 3 a.m. each day of fair. Final closing will be on Monday, Sept. 7 in the afternoon when the public clears after the Labor Day parade.
Olden times games like wheelbarrow races will be in full force during Lake County Youth M e n t o r P r o g r a m ’s family day at this year’s Fair. KURT LIEDTKE/ Lake County Examiner
Plenty of fun at Mentors family day By Kurt Liedtke Lake County Examiner
Fair is always fun for any age, but Lake County Youth Mentor Program (LCYMP) looks to make certain that every age is covered, as it has in previ-
ous years. LCYMP will again host a family day at Lake County Fairground lawns on Saturday, Sept. 3 starting at 4 p.m. The hour’s long worth of activities will include a three-legged race, gunny sack race, hula hoop race and egg toss. The games are available for children of all ages. Kids will be split into groups for each of the events, which will include ages 4-6, 7-9 and 10 and up. At the end of the games, around 4:50 p.m., there will be a tug o’ war involving everyone. There will be food vouchers and wristbands for children who win the games, which take place near the south gazebo. At the LYCMP booth, raffle tickets will be sold for a truck toolbox worth $475 from Lakeview’s Les Schwab Tire Center. The winning ticket will be pulled and announced at the Destruction Derby held on Sunday, Sept. 4. Proceeds from the raffle will benefit LCYMP, a non-profit organization that provides mentors to elementary, middle and high school-aged kids in Lakeview, Paisley and North Lake. Activities that LCYMP conducts throughout the year include group outings, team activities, sponsoring sports and other fees for mentees. For more information, contact Sammy Withers at 541-9474880.

Cirque Adventure returns DeAnna McCandless of Cirque Adventure swings in an aerial hoop during last year’s Fair.
JIMMY HALL/ Lake County Examiner
Last year’s appearance of the McBy Jimmy Hall Candless Family Circus show, dubbed Lake County Examiner Cirque Adventure, was on a whim when a cancelled show turned them instead towards the biggest event in Oregon’s Outback. This time around, the show will return in a less-random fashion, having been booked early on. “We loved the town, it was wonderful,” said Timothy McCandless. “The crowds were awesome, that’s just a part of what we loved about performing.” The modestly-sized show features the McCandless family who hails from Shallowater, Texas as a six-piece act. The group consists of Andrew, 4, Alex, 7, Ali, 10, Aiden, 12 and parents DeAnna and Timothy. The family tours eight months out of the year, putting on shows throughout the Unites States. Equipped with all the right gear, the family performs death-defying acrobatics like aerial silks, aerial lyra, aerial rope, hoop diving, contortion, contact juggling, object manipulation and various other circus thrills. Shows are 30-minutes in length and will take place near the south lawn. “We look forward to having good shows in Lakeview,” Timothy said, citing that they were in Montana and en-route to Lake County, putting on shows along the way. There will be nine performances throughout the weekend, starting with Friday, Sept. 2 at 3, 6 and 8 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 3 at 3, 5:30 and 8 p.m. and Sunday, Sept. 4 at 3, 6 and 8 p.m. For more information and video of the family act, visit www. cirqueadventure.com.

2017 Round-Up Court named this Labor Day By Kurt Liedtke Lake County Examiner Breaking from tradition, the 2016 Lake County Round-Up Royal Court is a repeat of last year, with 2015 Round-Up Queen Mattee Vickerman and Round-Up Pres. James Price reprising their roles from the year before. Six contestants are vying for the chance to be next year’s Round-Up Queen and Princess through a rigorous competition held on Sunday, Aug. 14 which tested riding and presentation abilities. A panel of five judges interviewed each candidate individually, followed by a reining pattern, flag run, mock grand entry and impromptu question in front of family and friends gathered at the Neil Flynn Memorial Roping Arena. Overall scores were based mostly on the interview and riding ability, with other weighted aspects of score determination including tack, impromptu question response and appearance. The judges were comprised of residents including two former Round-Up presidents. Joining the competition was Vickerman, welcoming those in attendance to the riding portions of the event

Six contestants are vying to be chosen as the 2017 Lake County Round-Up Royal Court, the winners to be announced on the second day of this year’s PRCA Round-Up. Pictured are 2016 Round-Up Queen Mattee Vickerman, l-r, Laurena Schmidt, Joanie Gladwill, Saige Woodworth, Cheyenne Evans, Cassie Gonzales and Jonna Ferrario. as well as presenting an experienced guide for the competing girls. Whereas in past years the winners were announced at the conclusion of the competition, this year marks weeks of anxiety awaiting the official announcement of who will be crowned next year’s royalty. During the second day of PRCA rodeo action on Monday, Sept. 5 the wait will be over, as the 2017 Round-Up Queen and Princess will be announced in front of the crowd. The six contestants are Cheyenne Evans, Jonna Ferrario, Joanie Gladwill, Cassie
Gonzales, Laurena Schmidt and Saige Woodworth. The sextet represents all corners of Lake County, from Lakeview and the Westside to Adel, Plush and Silver Lake. None of them have previously served on the court, though Ferrario was selected as an alternate at last year’s tryouts. The announcement will be just the beginning of the adventure ahead for those selected to the Royal Court. Next summer will keep the royal court extremely busy visiting rodeos across the west to promote Lake County’s Round-Up.
