Celebrating the 4th of July—and the Backbone of America
Share
This Independence Day, right after the Wallowa parade, we invite you to gather with us at Timber Bronze for a celebration of community, craftsmanship, and the people who feed our nation—our farmers.
We’re proud to host a special showcase of local tractors and vintage farm implements—machines that tell the story of hard work, resilience, and the land we call home. It’s a small way to honor the enormous role of agriculture in the American story.
And there’s no better place to do it than here—outside the old grain elevator where generations of local farmers once deposited their harvests. Today, it’s home to our bronze foundry, but its roots are planted deep in Wallowa’s agricultural heritage.
Because really—without the American farmer, who would plant the seeds? Who would tend the fields? Who would harvest the crops and help put food on every table?
Farming is more than a livelihood. It’s a legacy of grit, care, and faith passed down through generations. This 4th of July, while we celebrate freedom, we also celebrate those who work from dawn to dusk to sustain it—quietly, faithfully, and without fanfare.
So swing by after the parade, say hello, and tip your hat to the folks who remind us that independence doesn’t just come from fireworks and flags—but from the ground up.
The tractors and implements will be here until about 2 PM. Hope to see you here!
