Chic resale comes to Enterprise
By Kathleen Ellyn
Wallowa County Chieftain
Rene Garoutte opened her
high-end resale shop, “R’s
Consignments & More” in
Lostine, inside Rob’s Gas Sta-
tion, on Memorial Day this
year. By August she had to
move to Enterprise at the cor-
ner of River and Main streets
(across from the County
Courthouse) because she had
already outgrown the Lostine
store.
“I outgrew it too fast!” she
said. “I did well enough to
FRPHXSKHUHDQG¿QGDELJ-
ger place.”
She opened the store in
Enterprise Sept. 5 and by the
following week she was do-
ing a booming business. Last

open we were really busy,”
said Rene. “We’ve been busy
every day but Thursday this
week, which was a big day
for taking in consignments.”
“People are really liking
the brands we have,” add-
ed co-owner Dawn L. Hud-
son-Scott.
Dawn is talking about
he selection of new items
which include new jackets,
shirts, jeans and boots made
by Cowgirl Tuff, Curel Girl,
Cinch, Roper and Kings
Camo.
Those new items are
mixed with high-end, excel-
lent condition used consign-
ment — and the list of items
there runs from handmade
Native art moccasins from
Cortez, Colo., for $695 to $3
sunglasses.
There is a wide selec-
tion of locally made arts and
crafts including several wear-
able textile pieces by Barbara
Anderson of Enterprise, recy-
cled tapestry made into bags
by Darlene Jaggin of Enter-
prise, wood carvings by Greg
Scott of Enterprise, metal art
by Ron Miller of Enterprise,
and many more.

WALLOWA — Evening
Under the Stars, the largest
DQQXDO IXQGUDLVHU EHQH¿W-
ing curricula for Wallowa
schools, is ready to roll for
the eighth time, the evening
of Saturday, Sept. 26, at the
Tamkaliks grounds in Wal-
lowa. In the event of inclem-
ent weather, the event moves
indoors to the Beth Johnson
Room at Wallowa Elementary
School.
The night, which features
a catered barbecued pork loin
dinner which also includes
rolls, salad, potatoes and des-
sert, begins with a 5 p.m. so-
cial hour, followed by dinner
at 6 p.m., and a live auction
at 7 p.m. Wallowa music stu-
dents, led by instructor Anna
Shike, will perform during
the evening. Tickets, priced
at $20 per person or $50 for
a family of any size, are avail-
able at the Blonde Strawberry
and Wallowa Library, or from
any Wallowa FFA member.
Friends of the Wallowa
School District, the group for-
merly known as Friends of the
Wallowa School Foundation,
organizes Evening Under the
Stars. According to Friends
secretary Marilyn Hulse,
in past years the event has
raised anywhere from around
$10,000 to $15,000, although
the top end of that range was
reached only once, in 2008,
the event’s inaugural year.
Hulse said most of the
money from Evening Under
the Stars goes to support the
Wallowa FFA program, and
for the second straight year
organizers are tapping the
auctioneering talents of Dave
Yost, former longtime advisor
of Joseph FFA.
Evening Under the Stars
also includes a silent auction.
A total of approximately 75
items will be offered through
the two auctions.
According to Hulse,
Friends of the Wallowa
School District is a 501(c)3
QRQSUR¿WSXUVXLQJDGLIIHUHQW
mission from the Wallowa
School Foundation, which
funds scholarships for Wal-
lowa High School grads. She
says it therefore made sense
to quit operating under the
Foundation’s 501(c)3 so peo-
ple wouldn’t confuse the two
groups’ activities.
“We just do curriculum,”
Hulse said.

Stars, contact Hulse at 541-

jewelry, handmade soap,

handmade greeting cards and
more.
Part of the reason the store
can carry such a wide selec-
tion is that it was planned to
be made up of both Rene and

Copper Creek of Joseph
was scheduled to come in
within a week and several
more booth renters from as
far away as Hermiston, Pend-
leton and Portland are ex-
pected soon, Rene said.
“We take higher-end used
items in excellent condition
or handmade or art items,”
Rene said.
The booths rent for $25,
$50 and $75 (depending on
size) and the store takes an
additional 23 percent com-
mission off the top. They take
cash, credit cards and checks.
The store is open six days a
week from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.,
closed Sunday.
“Booths must be refreshed
once a month at least,” said
Rene. “We want them full and
never sparse.”
