Independence Day in Big Piney Draws Record Crowd
The Fourth of July celebration in Big Piney drew the largest crowd in valley history. Orrin Black opened with the Declaration of Independence, followed by addresses from C. P. McGlashen and Joseph Black. The New York and Big Piney ball tour won 14 to 7, and afternoon races featured cow pony, wild horse, and foot races with notable prizes. A supper and dance at the Big Piney hall capped the day, with wrestling matches ending in Buckshot defeating Carrie Nation and Holmer Hilman besting Frank Goary.
