By TAMMY MALGESINI
East Oregonian
An eclectic mix of artists,
antique and vintage dealers,
along with specialty food
and adult beverage tasting is
featured during the Bonanza
Art Antiques & Gourmet
Expo.
The inaugural event will
bring together more than
two dozen commercial art-
ists. Painters, jewelry mak-
ers, wood sculptors, metal
and leather workers, and
other artisans are featured.
In addition, small gourmet
food producers will be on
hand. Also, visitors can taste
products from several Ore-
gon wineries, breweries and
other craft beverage makers.
The
Bonanza
Art
Antiques & Gourmet Expo is
Friday, June 7 and Saturday,
June 8 at the Pendleton Con-
vention Center, 1601 West-
gate. Both days run from
9 a.m. to 4 p.m. General
admission is $7 for a two-
day pass. A craft beverage
tasting pass is $12, providing
an opportunity to taste more
than a dozen Oregon brands.
“We are bringing a unique
group of antique and vintage
dealers, artists and makers
to Pendleton, most of them
for the first time,” said Val
Anctil, show organizer. “We
have dealers coming from
Portland with great Western
memorabilia and even vin-
tage Round-Up collectibles.”
In addition, organiz-
ers have adopted the former
Pendleton’s June Cruisin’
Car Show — rebranding it as
Bonanza Retro Rides Show.
Featuring vintage cars, retro
campers and even a vintage
Bell helicopter, Retro Rides
will be on display Saturday
from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. in front
of the convention center. The
registration fee to enter vehi-
cles is $20. People can reg-
