The Times - Serving Waitsburg, Dayton and the Touchet Valley

Dena Wood

Howard and Dona Jean Smith have been selected as parade marshals for the 2017 Waitsburg Celebration Days parade. The couple say they are honored to be chosen and are looking forward to leading the parade in a convertible owned by their good friend, Bob Collins. The Smith family has been farming in Waitsburg since 1919. Left: Howard and Dona Jean relax on the sun porch of the family farmhouse, built in 1911. The Smith family was the first family to occupy the home.
