The event already had commitments from 2008 World Champion Guilherme Marchi, two-time world champion Chris Shivers and recent world traveler and Amazing Race runner up Cord McCoy, but can now add Sean Willingham and Kasey Hays to the list, said Angie Gurrola of Mesa Productions. Local PBR participants Keith Roquemore of Cot- tonwood and A.J. Hamre of Chico as well as several PBR card holders will be participating, Gurrola said. Mesa has teamed up with Rolling Hills Casino to present the sixth annual Professional Bull Riders Touring Pro Series. The event, which begins at 8 p.m. — gates open at 6 p.m. — will be the day before the PBR Built Ford Tough series in Ontario, which means many of the top 45 riders will be on the west coast and available to compete in Red Bluff, Gurrola said. “We are pleased to continue to bring the event to Red Bluff as this year has all the makings of a Built Ford Tough Series Event except that it is in our town,” Gurrola said. Red Bluff’s own bullfighting duo Joe Baumgartner and Eric Layton will be on hand to protect the bull riders and PBR Entertainer Flint Rasmussen will entertain the crowd.

By GEOFF JOHNSON DN Staff Writer Give her 70 volunteers, and Deb- bie Chakrun will take you back 160 years. On Saturday, Chakrun hosted the 31st annual Adobe Day at William B. Ide Adobe State Park, a butter- churning, banjo-strumming, donkey- walking, rope-pulling look at a Red Bluff unimaginable to most of us today. Early estimates by the handful of park rangers on hand put the crowd at some 600 people. It was more than Chakrun had seen in her decade-long tenure, she said. Crowds could gamble, participate in land prospecting, make candles or simply watch a puppet show. It was the kind of event where Ashton Rhinehard, just barely 3 years-old, could grab a massive two- man saw with his father and former Red Bluff resident Eric Rhinehard. By the time the wood was cut the boy was red-faced and grinning. But as the state saws away at park budgets, Chakrun needs community help to power her time machine. “We’re depending more and more on volunteers,” she said. One of the program’s biggest sources for volunteers are Salisbury High School graduates. Through the park’s school programs, students of the alternative school can relive his- tory. Its students and graduates often return to volunteer for the park’s var- ious historic festivals and pass on their lessons to the next generation, Chakrun said. David Kaeding, who manned the shaving booth Saturday, testified to the program’s power. Before he graduated Salisbury this year, classes in 1850s wood- working, shingle-making and sur- vival gave the 18-year-old Kaeding a view of history missing in textbooks, he said. On Saturday, Kaeding could see the same effect on children. Boys and girls seeing his booth were excited, scared and given to laughter, he said. With less state funding to pay for the school programs, there may be fewer Kaedings with the knowledge to pass down to future time travelers. But there may be help from out- side sources, too. Redding resident Jessica McCar- ley, a coffee shop employee, found herself turning corn husks into dolls. “I just love things from history and the past,” she said. The energetic 29-year-old said she joined the event “on a whim” after learning her roommate would be sewing at the event, she said. If they can keep the event going, Red Bluff resident Bill Dixon expects he’ll have a better view of the future, too. “If you don’t know where you’ve come from, you don’t know where you’re going,” Dixon said. ——— Geoff Johnson can be reached at 527-2153, extension 114 or gjohnson@redbluffdailynews.com. bulls on the west coast, which will include Don Kish Bucking Bulls and Julio Moreno Bulls, Gurrola said. The event will see the launch of the Good Sport program to discourage drinking and driving, she said. “Part of our commitment to the community is to promote responsible behavior when it comes to drinking,” Gurrola said. “Good Sport is a program that ensures fans attending the PBR Bull Bash at the Tehama District Fairground will have a good time, but not at the expense of others.” The package includes a free ticket for a designated driver when three general admission tickets are bought together, she said. Those registered as a good sport will be put into drawings that take place throughout the night for a variety of prizes, including a pair of tickets for PBR finals held in October in Las Vegas or a pair of tick- ets to a Built Ford Tough Series Event of the winner’s choice. Mutton Bustin' entries for the PBR event have been extended until Monday. Riders must be 4-7 years old and not more than 65 pounds. Parents can enter their children to participate at The Loft in Red Bluff or Boot Barn in Anderson. An autograph signing with all Express Sports Team Riders will take place 6:15-7:45 p.m. and Mut- ton Bustin’ starts at 7:45 p.m. Prices will be $10, kids 12 and younger; $25, gen- eral admission; $40, reserved box seats; $60, VIP arena side seating which includes dinner and bever- age.

Anne Trevino crowned 2010 Miss Corning By GEOFF Johnson DN Staff Writer CORNING — The Olive City has a new queen. Anne Trevino, the 17- year-old daughter of Bon- nie and Rudy Trevino of Corning, was crowned the 2010 Miss Corning Saturday night, chosen out of six contestants. The award took Trevi- no by surprise, she said. Trevino, challenged by judges to answer a ran- domly chosen question, gauged on her poise and judged on a character portrayal (Trevino went with Ella Fitzgerald), won out against what she said was stiff competi- tion.

She should know. She and the other five contes- tants practiced together in anticipation for the show. Following the pageant, a storm of camera flashes greeted Corning's newest celebrity as she posed with fellow winners from Tehama County, Glenn County and even the Miss Bay Area competition. But Trevino's new fame was not enough to make her forget her friends. Her first gesture as Miss Corning 2010 was to head to Starbucks where Director’s Choice Jessie Bradley was work- ing. Bradley, 18, was scheduled for a shift at Starbucks and had to leave mid-contest, before she could receive award. her Serving a customer at the drive-thru window, Bradley began fanning herself with excitement when she saw Trevino lead the entire pageant into the store. “Oh my god,” she later recalled thinking. “There∂s no way they∂re all here.” But they were. Other winners Satur- day included Christina Acosta, 16, won both First Alternate and Miss Congeniality. Sherrie Bell, 17, won Second Alternate. Megan Car- penter, 16, was crowned Miss Inspirational, while Camille Blanchard, 18, took home Miss Academ- ic. Then the girls were off, in their evening gowns, to Denny’s, cele- brating just as they had competed: as friends.
