Central Oregon Horse Sales Plan and State Fair Updates
Central Oregon plans monthly horse sales at Redmond to build a large market with 400 to 500 head. The effort aims to benefit breeders and buyers across the region, not just Redmond. Oregon’s apple show in Portland November 15–17 offers big prizes from Northern Pacific and Great Northern railroads, while irrigationists meet in Ontario September 28–29 during the Malheur County Fair. West and state officials attend the four day State Fair opening September 11, with improved grounds, larger camping, doubled dining capacity, better water and a paved access road.
