Byron enjoys spectacular celebration

Anyone who was at the park
Saturday night was mesmerized
by the amazing fireworks dis-
play. Wow and wow some more. It
just keeps getting better. I know
there is some buzz about doing
away with this show, but please,
please, please let's figure out a
way to keep it going. (I have my
grandkids here, so begging is now
in my vocabulary.)
For two busy days the town
was buzzing with activity. The
kiddie carnival started out with
some windy gusts that didn't even
faze the kids going from booth to
booth. One of the longest lines
was at the face painting booth
where people were still lined up
at 9 o'clock, long after the others
had finished. There were snakes,
skulls, butterflies, dragons and
princesses being requested. Glit-
ter included.
The dunking booth was a busy
spot. One little boy got eight turns
and began by saying "I never
miss" and he didn't. Lots of dunk-
ing going on including the new
Chief of Police John Wahl, the re-
tired Chief Frankie and even our
Mayor Bret George got dunked.
The parade Saturday morn-
ing was well attended and sever-
al people commented that it was
the best yet. A welcome float was
the Noall family float, making
waves. The parade audience wel-
comed getting a little wet.
I found out that when my
grandkids put their mind to it
they can throw together a pret-
ty neat float, and they did. They
all wanted to dress up as west-
ern characters and raided their
grandpa's prop closet.
The Caleb Sanders family
looked great on the Byron Ward
float portraying a family that
prays together. Everyone loves a
parade whether you're in it, on
it, or watching it. I am so glad
Marathon brought their float
down from Cody. It was amaz-
ing. I was impressed by the U-
turn that driver did with that
big rig.
Saturday night was the
alumni banquet and it was well
attended. Ralph Watts did a
great presentation about the
fabulous 50s and Janet Dugger
Haddix did a great job of deco-
rating around a 50s theme. It
is always good to have old (and
I mean that in the nicest way)
friends return home to Byron.
Afterwards many were on the
front lawn of the former school to
catch the fireworks attraction.
Thank you to the mayor and
council and the recreation de-
partment for your support of this
great activity for the area. Thank
you to the vendors who support
our town celebration. Everyone
is worn out, but in a good way.

On July 21 at 1:30 p.m. the
Daughters of Utah Pioneers, Big
Horn company-Sagebrush camp,
will present the Big Horn Acade-
my historical plaque dedication in
Cowley.
In the early 1900s many set-
tiers were brought to northern
Big Horn County. Various small
schools were set up, but it wasn't
long until the older students near-
ing high school age and rapidly in-
creasing in numbers were in need
of a high school to serve the three
areas. It was the policy of the LDS
Church at this time to provide re-
ligious and secular education for
its youth. The decision was made
to set up a school with the three
towns taking turns as host.
LDS Church School Commis-
sioner of Education Horace Cum-
mings was sent to Beaver, Utah,
to interview Albert F. Fillerup to
offer him the position as principal
of the new high school. He agreed
and in August 1909, the Fillerup
family made the journey and the
Woodruff Academy opened its
doors Sept. 13, 1909, in Lovell.
Two weeks later, the name was
changed to Big Horn Academy.
The school was moved to
Cowley the following year and re-
mained there permanently. The
groundbreaking for the current
building was Nov. 5, 1915, and the
doors were opened for students in
September of 1919.
Special guest speakers at the
presentation will be Katherine T.
Brimhall, marker chairman from
the International DUP board of di-
rectors, and Iras Trover, Wyoming
DUP regional representative.

Pioneer Day honors 'stalwart pioneers' this weekend
BY DRUE TEBBS-MEEK

This weekend is Pioneer Day
2012, honoring the men and wom-
en, the "stalwart pioneers who
had the courage and faith to ac-
cept the call of their church lead-
ers to leave their homes, migrate
to a dry, uninviting area which
they had never seen; and there
build new homes and establish
a community." ("With Book and
Plow," by Mark N. Partridge.)
What a community we now
have. Over the last 112 years, our
small communities have grown
and developed into fine towns
that have prospered in all factors
of daily life and businesses, tal-
ents, education, sports, etc. The
Pioneer Day book's theme this
year, "Cherish Yesterday, Live
Today and Dream Tomorrow," is
surely an appropriate theme. This
year the Pioneer Day Committee
asked Edie Crosby to once again
compile our annual book, which is
so important to us all. Margue-
rite Strom helped her, and other
members worked hard to publish
this wonderful book that we all
look forward to. It is on sale at
Cowley Merc and the Town Hall.
It will also be available during the
parade.
The celebration begins with
a trap shoot at the Lovell Shoot-
ing Range Thursday evening at
6 p.m. Friday is the golf tourna-
ment, the ice cream social held
at the park and the adult dance/
mingle at the park with the music
by the Cowley Boys.
Saturday morning is the fun
run and bike races at 7 a.m. The
kiddie parade starts at 9 a.m., the
main parade starts at 10 a.m. and
the Pioneer Heritage Program
will be held at 11 a.m. at the LDS
church. There will also be a free
bike drawing for kids 8-12-years-
old and the drawing will be held
during the main parade. Children
can put their names in the entry
box at the Cowley Mercantile.
There will be a classic car
show north of the city park on
Saturday afternoon and a barbe-
cue lunch in the park starting at
noon, which is sponsored by the
Senior League baseball. Also at
noon, there will be kids games
and volleyball. Later, at 1:30
p.m., the Daughters of Utah Pi-
oneers will present a Big Horn
Academy historical plaque.
The rodeo will begin at 2
p.m., then horseshoe pitching at
the park at 6 p.m. At 7 p.m. Syl-
via Gams and Lynne Strom will
host a talent show where peo-
ple from near and far will per-
form their special talents in
the newly air conditioned log
gym. An Ultimate Teen Night,
sponsored by the Cowley Rec-
reation District and the Health
Coalition, will begin at 9 p.m.
and will last until midnight at
the senior baseball field. What
a celebration.
This Pioneer Day celebra-
tion will be filled with family
and friends, food, activities, mu-
sic, talent and reunions. An im-
portant reunion is the Class of
1962. Also, the Miller family will
celebrate the 100-year anniver-
sary marking the date that the
Gottfried Miller family sailed
from Russia to America due to
the unrest preceding World War
I.
There is a great history of
this family in the Cowley book
written by Hermina Miller
Gams. The family gets together
to honor and remember the cour-
age it took the Gottfried Miller
family to immigrate to America,
and their name will be inscribed
in the American Immigrant Wall
of Honor, along with many other
immigrants, to be built near El-
lis Island. The Miller family is
honored also for their strength
as a family and the many contri-
butions they have made through
all their descendants to our com-
munity in the past 100 years.
Welcome to all former res-
idents of Cowley who come to
celebrate the founding of their
families in the early 1900s. Ev-
eryone have a fine celebration.
Watch for our E-edition announcement/
