Rogue River Rooster Crow MailTribune.com Writer Posted May. 20, 2016 @ 10:16 am Posted May. 20, 2016 @ 10:16 am » Social News p bs:newslist StartDate="20121121" EndDate="p bs:datecalc Months="3"" DateSort="1" UseObjects="1" ObjectClass="81" Taxonomywords="2325,665" ExactTaxonomyMatch="1" Image="1" Count="4" --> Rogue River has been crowing since 1953, as once a year the town fills with roosters and people of all kinds to take part in a local piece of Americana. The Rogue River Rooster Crow — which has been covered by the New York Times — began as an event to let people know that Rogue River is a town and not just a river. The Rooster Crow Contest, in which roosters — and people, too — compete to see who can crow the best, has grown into a full event that includes a parade, 5K foot race, car show, live bands, food, vendors and more. This year's event begins at 8 a.m. Saturday, June 25, with the Rooster Crow Run/Walk, followed at 10 a.m. by the Rooster Crow Parade. Businesses, churches, civic groups, antique cars, tractors and all manner of entries parade down Main Street. Want to be in the parade? No problem — fork over $15 (to help pay for trophies) and you're in. After the parade people generally wander over to the concessionaires and food booths in the Umpqua Bank parking lot to have fun and wait for the main event. Parade winners are announced at the Rooster Crow arena at 2 p.m., and at 2:15 the Human Rooster Crow Contest kicks off. The main event begins at 2:45 p.m., when the roosters take center stage. Judges keep track of how many crows each rooster lets loose in 30 minutes. (Unlike the human crowing competition, strange behavior does not improve the competitor's score.)
