This year’s Lassen County Fair Parade Grand Marshals and Old-Timers of the Year, were honored Friday morning at a special luncheon under the grandstands at the fairgrounds.

Fair manager Kaitlyn Midgely gave each recipient a neat plaque and their names will be added to the perpetual plaque in the fairgrounds office.

The Old Timer’s award was given to Laurel Marsters and Raelene Waltman, both of whom have been incredibly active in our local ag community for nearly half a century.
