DEATH NOTICES as auctioneer and master of ceremonies, welcomed the crowd that filled just about every seat in the cafeteria. "We're so fortunate that everyone is here," Durrer said. "I'd really like to thank everyone for coming. Thank you to the committee for putting this together and a huge thank you to the (Te- hama County) supervisors. We wouldn't have the doors open tonight, let alone the gates to the fairgrounds without them." Wolter announced the 50/50 raffle, which took in $1,060, with $530 each go- ing to the fairground and winner Nancy Duncan. "Just about every table here was pre-sold, which tells me everyone knows why we're here — the fair- grounds," Wolter said. "Funding is not what it was and everyone is having to find new ways to keep the fairgrounds not only beau- tiful, but workable." The Tehama County Farm Bureau started the auction off right with a win- ning bid of $400 for a pie baked by Lynn Strom. The Red Bluff Round-Up Association showed gen- erosity in offering a sec- ond package of VIP tick- ets to the April rodeo when a bidding war landed the first package at $550. The runner up immediately agreed to purchase the sec- ond package for the same amount as the first. The high seller of the eve- ning was a Rolo cake made by Barb Thomas, which fetched $800 from winning bidder Pat Ferreira. The 95th annual fair, which has the theme Cow- boy Boots and Country Roots, will start with the gates opening at 2 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 24, and a grand opening at the front entrance at 5 p.m. For more information on the fair or entry deadlines, visit www.tehamadistrict- fair.com or call 527-5920.

Originally, the area near Safeway was a rice field and Corning wasn't always all about olives, even if it is the third biggest crop in Tehama County today, he said. There were olive and fruit trees planted, but farmers quickly learned that the jack rabbits and grasshoppers would de- stroy everything, but the olives, which they didn't like, Strack said. Corning, which was paved on Solano Street first in 1921, has had an inter- esting history, including a change of locations not once, but twice due to the type of transportation of the day. When the railroad laid track down, it didn't bend toward Corning so as soon as the depot opened the entire town moved to be closer to the railroad since it was the mode of trans- portation most commonly used in the day, he said. "As soon as that depot opened, two hotels and 20 houses were towed by mules on mile away to the railroad area," Strack said. "It was all about the shipping. Corning really got started in 1898, but it moved again in 1961." Ironically, when the In- terstate 5 freeway went in, it was in the original location of the town and the businesses and houses moved back, but this time people chose to build new buildings because it was much cheaper to rebuild than to try and tow things a mile away, he said. Corn- ing has also seen huge change in the number of plants and where there used to be as many as nine olive plants, today there are only two plants, both operated by Bell Carter. The Tehama County Farm Bureau was on hand to promote upcom- ing events and talk with attendees. The annual Farm-City Night will be Nov. 2 and the Farm-City Bus Tour is scheduled for Oct. 29. Gizmo, a two-year-old black lab mix, and his part- ner in crime Kilo, another two-year-old dog who re- sides at the Corning Ani- mal Shelter enjoyed a day out at the Second Chance Pet Rescue booth along with small walks through the area with their adopt me bandanas on. Second Chance Pet Res- cue President Sarah Casia was also on hand to talk with those interested in adopting or volunteering at the shelter including the weekly Saturday walks. "We're pretty full," Casia said. "We took in five strays and a surrender today. We have 22-23 and our max- imum is 30. There's usu- ally between 16 and 24, but the good news is we're moving them quickly and they're moving out almost as quickly as they come in." Those interested can check out available dogs at www.secondchancepe- trescue.org or stop in dur- ing adoption hours, which are 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sat- urdays and Sundays and by appointment on the week- days. The festival included entertainment by local groups including Ann's Dance Workshop out of Corning, The Main Street Band from Red Bluff and Tonantzin, an Aztec dance group out of Corning. One of the final events of the day was the Corn- ing Rotary sponsored Ol- ive Drop in which olives are dropped from a great height above a target and the one landing closest to the center wins. Turns out 666 was a lucky num- ber for Lenny Barbo, who snatched the first place prize, and the luck spread to his wife, Terry Barbo, who got second place.
