Heritage of Happy Camp Parade at the Jamboree

Sunday, the highlight of the BIGFOOT JAMBOREE was the Parade. The Theme was “The Heritage of Happy Camp.” Double J and ABC Logging worked together on the number #1 commercial float. Elk Creek Campground came in 2nd in the commercial entries with a little cabin with Charlotte as Stella Patterson, and “DearSir” and “UpandUp” along. These characters are from Stella Patterson’s book of memoirs, Dear Mad’m.

Organizations were also in full swing. Family Resource Center was 1st place, Tom White on horseback with his POW flag was 2nd and Smokey and the Forest Service won 3rd place in Organizations. Bigfoot was especially energetic this time and even got into a tussle with some of the men, and he was 1st in the Individual category. Tom and Linda Seals in their 1923 T-bucket roadster came in 2nd and Kaitlynn Driskell with Charlene, Paul and Jim Driskell were third place. The Grand Prize went to the Karuk Dancers.

Judges were Buster Attebery, Jordon Blackford and Carol Day and the parade was announced by Alan Dyar. The Grand Marshall was Don Zink.
