The History of Willows Lamb Derby
In the Winter of 1933, as businessmen in the community were suffering from the throes of the depression. W.A. "Bill" Weinrich,as a Director of the Willows Chamber of Commerce, had an idea to bring new membership and increase trade to the community.
So on April 14, 1934 with the Chamber of Commerce as sponsor & Mr. Weinrich as general chairman, a one day event featuring Lamb Races down Butte Street (with 50 lambs entered and a 1st prize of $7.50) a free Bean Feed (attended by over 1,000 people @ Sheridan Park) along with a Band Concert, Flower Show (sponsored by the garden section of the Monday Afternoon Club) and a Grand Finale evening Ball at Memorial Hall (admission $ .75) and so the beginning of annual event was set in motion.
