from Public Domain Scrapbook file 2 submitted by Tom E. Billings, Curry County Echoes, Volume 4, February 1985-- The Billings Ranch (now The Rogue River Ranch) was the site of many celebrations for those living along the river. Celebrations usually lasted several days and were held wherever someone had a place large enough for the crowd. One celebration was held on Washington's Birthday, 1907. The host was John Billings. They celebrated the wedding of his daughter, Viola, to Leo Frye. Friends and relatives gathered at The Meadows. A shooting contest was held with a gold watch being the prize. George Billings won by 1/8 of an inch and handed the prize to his son, Evered.
