YREKA – The Siskiyou Jaxx Senior Babe Ruth baseball team played the scoreboard like a pinball machine, scoring 25 runs in its double header sweep of some team from Klamath Falls. No one, including the players and coaches of the K-Falls squad, seemed to know the team’s name, but they wear orange uniforms. So, “Orange” it is.

In his first game back at Hibbard Field since starring for the Yreka Miners in high school, Andrew Ward tossed a 2-hit, 2-walk complete game shutout, fanning 13 Orange batters. (more…)

County fair exhibits are the heart of what fairs are all about, and the Siskiyou Golden Fair is no different.

This year the Siskiyou Golden Fair Exhibitor Handbook has over 350 divisions with more than 2,200 classes for senior and junior exhibitors. From prize livestock to photography, sewing, gardening or baking, the fair is where Siskiyou County residents get to show off their talents.

“We have many folks who have been entering the fair since they were children and have continued into their 70s and 80s” said Fair CEO Cliff Munson. “In fact, the Howard Trivelpiece Ag-Hort Building, named after Trivelpiece in 2008 during his 80^th year as an exhibitor could once again be sporting some of the 98-years-young Trivelpiece’s vegetable crop in 2010.” (more…)
