2008 Grand Marshals
 
Marion & Gladine Gortsema
 
Marion works with his hands, while Glad builds friendships, and together for more than 62 years,
 they have shared a great life together, residing in the Tolo Lake area, then Grangeville,
and for the past 17 years in White Bird.
 
During those many years, they have crafted
a large circle of close friends, and they can't image living anywhere else.
One of the best things about White Bird that they enjoy most,
besides the weather, is the friendly and kind people.
 
They both are very honored to be selected as the 2008 Grand Marshals and graciously 
thank the White Bird Chamber for this special offer.
 
Come to White Bird Days this June 13th and 14th and give the Gortsema's a friendly
"hello". They will also be honored at the Rodeo and participate in the Grand Entry, so come
and see them on their 4-wheeler!!
