Spring Roundup a success
The 8th Annual Spring Roundup hosted by the area’s outfitters and
guides was once again very successful. Thanks to everyone who supported the
efforts of the Clearwater Valley Chapter of the Idaho Outfitters & Guides
Associations to provide the area communities with a fun and enjoyable day.
There were over 200 people who attended the April 12 Spring Roundup. They were entertained with live Bluegrass music by the Lonesome Pine Band as well as the IOGA Idaho State Championship Elk Calling Contest.
Calling Contest winners were:
Professional- 1st- Larry Landsdowne, Idaho City.
Adult- 1st- Chuck Brumley, Orofino, 2nd- Jarrod Mangum, Lewiston, 3rd- Dennis Harper, Orofino.
Junior- 1st- Michael Brown, Juliaetta, 2nd- Stephen Hiebert, Orofino, 3rd- Liesel Andersen, Kamiah.
PeeWee- 1st- Bailey Cregger, Orofino, 2nd- Brandon Brumley, Orofino, 3rd- Shelby Davenport, Orofino.
Throughout the day there were numerous games and raffles including the ever-popular Musical Saddles, several educational demonstrations and several events for kids. It was obviously a good place to spend a sunny day and feel good about supporting people in the area communities.
The annual Rib-eye Steak Dinner was again, the ‘Best Darn Steak in the Valley’! Over 200 steaks were served with all the trimmings. Dutch Oven specialties were again a delight as was the shrimp for the steak.
The Live Auction and a Silent Auction took place throughout the day. Participation was good and the people of the Clearwater Valley will benefit because of its success.
Four area high schools will receive ‘I Love Idaho’ scholarships and 50 percent of the proceeds go to the area project ICARE (Cancer Assistance & Recovery Effort) which was started by the CVC-IOGA.
All in all, the Spring Roundup was one of the best ever held and a lot of folks enjoyed the day. Thanks to all who participated and donated to help the community event to be such a success.
