GRAND MARSHALSStanley and Susan Rorex have

been named Grand Marshals for the 2014 Labor Day Parade.

Their recognition might have come as a surprise to the couple, but it sure didn't to anyone who's associated with the Tri-County Fair & Stampede.

Fair Chairman Darrel Field said producing the annual event would be nearly impossible each year without the help of the dedicated duo.

“They are both filled with ideas and enthusiasm and positive energy about the Fair,” said Field.

“When they set their minds to do something, they do it; I never have to worry about their follow through.”

Field said over the past seven years, the couple has contributed untold hours to the planning and execution of the Fair.

He said Stan has worked very hard to include the Nevada National Guard with static displays and lots of hands on stuff for kids. Often times this includes soliciting commanding officers directly.

Field said Susan has an artist's eye when it comes to laying out the exhibit hall. The fountain and seating area have always been her idea with Stan jumping in to get it done to her vision.

The two are no strangers to community service. In addition to a long list of volunteer contributions over the years, the pair currently head up two of Winnemucca's most respected organizations.

Susan is currently the chairman of the Humboldt Hospital Auxiliary, which oversees volunteer efforts at where his father was a city police While there, he played two years of

Winnemucca is about to become . . .

Chris Young CountryAround these parts, Labor Day means just one thing: it's time for a fabulous weekend dedicated to some serious,

end-of-summer fun. The 2014 Tri-County Fair & Stampede not only will

provide residents in Humboldt, Lander and Pershing county with the chance

to display their talents, but the weekend also will serve up great food,

good times and yes—plenty of spectacular entertainment, including

country music star Chris Young in concert at the Winnemucca Event

Center, featuring Courtney Cole.

f you want to see one of country music's hottest stars up close and personal

this month, you better act fast. Chris Young will perform for tri-county Icrowds at the Winnemucca Event Center on Saturday, August 30. Courtney

Cole will open the show. Doors open at 6:30 p.m., Courtney Cole will perform at 7:30 p.m. with

Chris Young following.Winnemucca Convention & Visitors Authority Director Kim Petersen said

the show is on its way to being sold out, “so we thought we better let folks know that if you want to be in that event center when Chris Young performs, you need to act now.”

Petersen said the concert has infused the annual Tri-County Fair & Stampede Labor Day weekend with exciting energy that has spilled over into the weekend's many other offerings, including the annual parade, carnival, competitions, food vendors, and the debut of the new Bulls & Broncs Rodeo.

“We are hoping that families will make a day of it,” said Petersen. “Attend the rodeo, grab a bite to eat and then cap off the night with the Chris Young concert.”

All fair and concert participants should use the Fairground Drive entrance by A1 Towing and across from the Bureau of Land Management office. They should not use the entrance by the Maverick Country Store as parking will be very limited in that area.

Handicapped parking will be available in front of the Winnemucca Event Center for the concert and fair. The building will also include a drop-off area. No parking will be allowed in front of the Fairgrounds Office. At the concert, no coolers or backpacks or pets will be allowed in the event center.

Tickets will be sold at the door on the day of the event for cash only. For more information, please call (775) 623-5071 or (800) 962-2638.
