Car show cruises into downtown Echo on Saturday
All-day event
features evening
concert
By TAMMY MALGESINI
East Oregonian
Echo is gearing up for a
full day of activities during
the A.C.E. Automobile
Club of Echo High School’s
annual event.
There’s still time to wash
and wax your car for the
ACE Car Show on Saturday.
Registration ($20 per
vehicle or $5 for students
with identification) begins
at 9 a.m. in downtown Echo.
The car show runs from
noon to 4 p.m. There are
nearly two dozen divisions
to enter.
“There are classification
for bicycle, pedal car all the
way to 2010 and newer and
project car,” said Raymon
Smith. “So, it is really open
to whatever you have.”
The show has evolved
over the years, Smith said.
It began several years after
the car club was established
when a handful of students

during the 2016 ACE Car Show. This year’s event is Saturday in downtown Echo.
parked their vehicles along
the school’s sidewalk. As
interest increased, it moved
to the football field. As
other activities were added
throughout the day, the car
show moved to downtown
Echo.
Smith said the Echo Par-
ent-Teacher Organization
is now the driving force
behind the event. About
45 students are involved
in helping with activi-
ties — including creating
the trophies and assisting
with sports team and club
fundraisers.
Money raised, Smith
said, provides scholarships
for seniors, enhances edu-
cational opportunities and
supports various clubs in
their activities.
Exhibit showcases student printmaking
MISSION — The Nixy-
aawii Community School
Printmaking
Exhibition
opens Friday at Crow’s
Shadow Institute of the Arts.
The public is invited to
a reception from 5-7 p.m.
at 48004 Saint Andrew’s
Road, Mission. The exhibit
features the work of Ermia
Butler, Isabelle LeCornu,
Elle Marsh, Cloe McMi-
chael, Kylie Mountainchief,
Latis Nowland, Eva Oat-
man and Tyanna Van Pelt.
The group has been work-
ing under the direction of
Crow’s Shadow master
printer Judith Baumann.
Over the course of the
school year, the students
have practiced several print-
making processes, with a
focus on silkscreen and lin-
ocut prints. While working
in the studio, they’ve also
had the opportunity to meet
several artist-in-residence
participants.
Most recently, during
Yatika Fields’ residency,
they began a collaborative
project with each student
drawing a regional wild-
flower to combine into one
large drawing for a litho-
graph plate. Each student
added layers of color to their
individual versions of the
print, resulting in unique
monoprints. The collabo-
rative prints and individual
projects will be on display.
Prints will be available for
purchase, with 100% of the
proceeds going directly to
the student artists.
The exhibit runs through
June 28. The gallery is open
Monday through Friday
from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. There
is no admission charge.

“I think that partici-
pants like that the kids are
so involved in the process
and that all the awards are
one-of-a-kind pieces of
art designed and built by
the students,” Smith said
about the event’s continued
success.
The event revs up Satur-
day beginning with a Fire-
man’s Breakfast from 7:30-
10 a.m. at Echo Rural Fire
Department’s Station No.
1, 301 Main St. The cost
for a single plate is $8 or a
family of four is $25. Also,
raffle tickets for a vari-
ety of prizes are $1 each,
six for $5, 15 for $10 or an
arm’s length for $20. Money
raised by the fire depart-
ment goes toward updating
equipment.
Other activities include
vendor booths, a 4-on-4 vol-
leyball tournament (8 a.m.
to 5 p.m.) and the Echo Fun
Run (8:30 a.m. registration),
which includes distances of
1 mile, 5K and 10K.
The day crescendos at
5:30 p.m. on the Echo High
School football field with
dinner and a performance
by The Wasteland Kings
of La Grande. Prepared by
the Echo FFA Chapter and
alumni, the menu features
smoked pork loin, green
salad, baby red mashed
potatoes and a dinner roll.
Tickets for the meal and
music are $35 (includes two
drink tickets) and must be
purchased in advance at H
& P Cafe, Buttercreek Cof-
feehouse and Mercantile,
the Echo School District
or Columbia State Bank.
Tickets for just the concert,
which starts at 6:30 p.m.,
are $25 at the gate. Also,
beverages from Echo Ridge
Cellars and Hodgen Dis-
tributing will be available
for purchase. People are
