The Chamber of Hailey and the Wood River Valley is excited to announce that Lynn Campion has been selected as this year\u2019s grand marshal for Hailey\u2019s famous Days of the Old West Parade on the Fourth of July.
\nLynn is a longtime resident who first began hanging her hat in the Valley in the early 1970s. Born and raised in Colorado, Lynn worked as a professional photographer and is the author of two books, \u201cTraining and Showing the Cutting Horse\u201d and \u201cRodeo.\u201d
\nA former national cutting horse champion, Lynn is the ideal selection for this year\u2019s grand marshal because of the numerous and often under-the-radar positive impacts she has had across our community.
\nLynn has been a ski instructor for Sun Valley and a volunteer firefighter for the Ketchum Fire Department. She helped bring the first advanced EMT program to the area and was a big part in founding the 5B Restoration Coalition after the devastating Beaver Creek Fire in 2013.
\nLynn has also served on various local nonprofit boards, including The Community Library, St. Luke\u2019s Wood River Medical Center and Hospice of the Wood River Valley. The Campion name is now best known locally for the Campion Ice House, which was made a reality thanks in large part to the generosity of Lynn\u2019s family\u2019s foundation.
\nLynn is married to the acclaimed Western artist, Theodore Waddell, with whom she teamed up to create a couple of children\u2019s books that star a dog named Tucker.
\nBoth Lynn and Ted are looking forward to being part of Hailey\u2019s iconic parade.
\n\u201cIt\u2019s humbling to be selected as the grand marshal by a community that has been so good to me for so many years,\u201d Lynn said.<\/p>\n

Please Support the Fourth of July<\/strong>
\nHailey\u2019s annual Independence Day celebration is the quintessential Fourth of July in the West. It is a celebration of America and our wonderful community. It\u2019s why thousands of people from throughout Idaho, the country and the Wood River Valley choose to celebrate our nation\u2019s most hallowed holiday in Hailey ever year. It\u2019s also why the Fourth of July week has had the highest hotel occupancy rates locally for years.
\nHailey is as good as it gets on the Fourth of July, but we can\u2019t make it happen without your support!
\nThe Days of the Old West Parade and fireworks cost close to $30,000
\nand we need your support to make this magical day happen.
\nThere are lots of ways to support the Fourth. You can make a donation, volunteer, enter a float in the parade or buy a raffle ticket. This year we\u2019re raffling off a brand new Traeger grill as well as a variety of other prizes. Buy tickets and check out the grill at the Hailey Welcome Center or Idaho Lumber.
\nFor more information or to make a donation, please go to HaileyIdaho.com, email Mike@ValleyCahmber.org or call (208) 788-3848.<\/p>\n
