This artifact is a 1955 Rain Derby ticket stub (numbered 2619) issued by the North Bend Chamber of Commerce in Coos County, Oregon. The ticket functioned as an entry for a community contest in which participants estimated the total annual rainfall for that year, a competition that reflected the region’s precipitation patterns. The ticket is printed on red cardstock and bears printed text including “North Bend Chamber of Commerce,” “1955 RAIN DERBY,” and “Cash Award $500,” as well as the instruction “Retain This Stub.” Contestants submitted a prediction for the year’s total precipitation; the stub records an entry of “49.08” inches, indicating a submitted estimate. The front side includes checkboxes and a circled value consistent with the contest entry. The condition of the front side should be examined. The reverse side contains the contest rules. Entries required an estimate of total rainfall for 1955 to the nearest one hundredth of an inch, with a submission deadline of October 31. Judging was conducted by officials at the CAA control tower at the North Bend Airport. In the event of tied results, the cash award of $500 was to be divided equally among winners. The reverse also includes historical rainfall data for the preceding five years (circa 1952), intended to inform participants’ forecasts. The presentation of this data is repetitive, emphasizing the procedural and local nature of the contest. The condition of the reverse side should be evaluated. This ticket stub represents a specific instance of mid-20th-century community engagement with weather phenomena in North Bend, Oregon. The handwritten rainfall estimate conveys individual involvement beyond mere ownership of the ticket. As a piece of weather-related and regional ephemera from the 1950s, it serves as a historical record of the community’s focus on precipitation and the corresponding contest administered by the local Chamber of Commerce.
