Bancroft Pioneer Days
Pioneer Day Royalty
This year’s Grand Marshal is Craig Wilker
Craig was born in Soda Springs, Idaho and raised on the family ranch in Thatcher. He Graduated from Grace HIgh School before he attended Weber State College on a football scholarship. Craig graduated with a teaching degree. He taught school in Snake River for four years and then another 30 years at Grace HIgh School. Today Craig and his wife Janice are still involved in raising cattle on the family ranch.
Craig enjoys working and competing in livestock events with his daughter, Autumn, and granddaughter, SIerra Sears. He remembers attending the Bancroft Pioneer Day Rodeo when he was a small boy with his grandparents. Later, he became a participant in the rodeo team roping for many years. He and LaMar Viso won the team roping one year. Craig is good friends and acquaintances with many people and contestants from Bancroft. He donated sand for the arena which was very much appreciated. He is proud and humbled to be part of this great tradition of the 24th of July celebration
