Currently, I’m enjoying a bit of ipad and sunshine on my back deck, with the lovely breeze and sounds of nature. I have to admit, I’m also listening to an 80′s Pandora station through ipad. But its 3:30pm and time to head indoors to get ready for the concert tonight. STarts at 7:30pm but gates open at 5:30pm –> Grangeville Rodeo Arena.
Grangeville Border Days is the biggest annual bash of the Cowboy & Rodeo Culture this town has known for over 100 years. It’s also Idaho’s Oldest Rodeo. This town literally tears at the seams during the Independence Day holidays. LOTS OF food, fun, parades, games, rodeos, friends, family, art shows, pig roasts and more…
I’ve also witnessed an exodus by those who prefer cool mountain camps and riverside picnics. Many enjoy getting into the great outdoors, where peace and quiet and family time is the priority.
If you’re looking for a great place to rock and enjoy the festivities June 30th and through July 4th, head to Grangeville Idaho on Highway 95 about 200 miles south of Coeur D’alene / Spokane area and 200 miles north of Boise.
GRANGEVILLE IDAHO is the place to be this time of year, with mild temps, great people and the joys of summer….well, does it get better than this?
Aaron Tippin Tickets at Ticketswest.com, Rae Brothers on Main Street Grangeville and at the gate. Extend your stay to Friday and enjoy the Concert in Pioneer Park Thursday evening, July 5th, under the delight of summer skies and comfortable evening temps..

What ever you’re doing, stop and think about heading to Grangeville!

Gene Warden, 2011 Border Days Grand Marshall
I don’t know Gene Warden very well personally, but I do know that he is a man of many many talents. He can do anything when it comes to carpentry and construction as witnessed years ago when he helped his niece, Rebecca Warden, take care of construction on a home she purchased for her and her son.
Gene Warden can be seen roaming about in the Nez Perce National Forest. He loves the outdoors, ATVing, hunting and camping with family and friends. Whenever you see Gene Warden in the great outdoors, you know his wife Leslie is not far away. They love to spend time together no matter what season, and are active in the local Snowmobile Club.
Gene Warden is the quintessential community role model, always ready and willing to help out wherever help is needed.
Congratulations to Mr. Warden on his retirement and a big giant thanks for his efforts, his devotion to community and his 2011 role as Grand Marshall of this year’s Border Days celebration!
Taylor Wemhoff, 2010 Rodeo Queen
I am 18 years old this year and was born and raised in Winona, area by Greencreek, and attended Nezperce Elementary and High School. I help my dad on our farm and ranch, giving him a helping hand whenever he needs it. I have played high school volleyball, basketball, softball, and have been a member of the FFA, High School rodeo, ASB Secretary, Knowledge bowl, honor roll, national honors society, 4-H for 10 years, and have also been the 2008 Clearwater Vallley Roundup Association Queen.
I have always enjoyed riding horses, and have recently started to train some of my own! I am going to attend the University of Idaho this fall and major in Architecture, as well as join the college rodeo team!
My hobbies include riding horses, skiing, 4-wheeler riding, rodeo, playing guitar, and swimmin in the river!
I have a younger brother, Mitch, younger sister, Raquel, and my parents are Jim & Rhonda Wemhoff.
