Friday

By Jeff Petersen Go! magazine

Billed as the Oldest Show in the Northwest, the 108th year of the Eastern Oregon Livestock Show is shifbng into high gear this week in Union.

Country Pride ... County Wide is the motto for the show, which runs through Sunday.

Much has changed since the show's modest beginning in 1907 under the leadership of Thomas Brasher. The old days saw unusual contests such as Roman Chariot racing, draft horse races and fighting bull competitions, and in the 1970s the 20-member Blue Sage Tac Team was famous in the region for its bareback riding and free-form jumping routines.

Today, EOLS has evolved into a top show to watch pari-mutuel horse races and hard-riding rodeo events, take in the carnival and reconnect with neighbors.

This year, more than 600 4-H and FFA participants get a chance to show and sell their livestock.

"The kidscome from over 10different counties throughout Oregon because of the unique qualities and experience the EOLS has to offer, "said JoAnn Hefner,EOLS secretary."They have an opportunity to show the livestock they raiseand participate in a m arket animal sale, which last year raised

$377,247."

The EOLS is known for its Ed

Matt Borden and his band will perform country, western, honky tonky, get down, good-timin' music for the Saturday dance.

Miller Xtreme Bulls event Thursday evening and PRCA rodeo and pari-mutuel horse racing Friday through Sunday.

The EOLS is planning to have a wild cow milking during the bull riding on Thursday. Wade Titus is takingentries at541-562-5701.

But a lot more is going on, including traditional fair food, souvenir vendors as well as a carnival, dances and live music.

Breakfast and lunch is served Thursday through Saturday until most all of the activities are over.

The kitchen will also be open for hamburgers Sunday during the rodeo and racing.

The Show Grounds are at 760 E. Delta St. on the east side of Union.

Parade set Friday af'ternoon The always popular parade will begin at 2 p.m. Friday. This year's grand marshal is Sue Miller.

Horse racing dates are Friday

through Sunday. Post times are 4 p.m.Friday,2 p.m .Saturday and 1:45 p.m.

The 4-H and FFA auction will take place at 8 a.m. Saturday. eWe are amazed at the continued community support and generosit y,"said Trista Loreefor the EOLS.eWe arelookingforward to another record-breaking auction this year."

People who want to purchase an animal can go to the Eastern Oregon Livestock Show website and see the buyer's guide.

This year's EOLS rodeo royalty are Hailee Patterson of Imbler, Caitlin Robb of Wallowa, Morgan Forney of Joseph and Lauren Makin of Wallowa. The queen's horsemanship competition took place Sunday, and the coronation took place Tuesday evening after press time in the clubhouse.

The carnival will run from noon to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday.

The Thursday dance begins after the conclusion of the Xtreme bull riding event, with an estimated time of 10:30 p.m. to 2 a.m.

There is no cover charge, and the eventisfor those 21 and older.

The Union FFAAlumni will serve hamburgers and breakfast foods throughout the night at each of the dances. There will be four to six tables for social gaming, and beer, soda and mixed drinks will be served.

Volunteers play a key role is makingtheEOLS happen.

"Hundreds of volunteers devote their time and effort each year so that the non-profit organization can continue to be a part of Eastern Oregon's history," Hefner said. eWe welcome new volunteers."
