9A WEDNESDAY August 23, 2017 Shining in the sun Show & Shine draws cars and crowds to Enterprise By Steve Tool Wallowa County Chieftain The fourth-annual Main Street Show & Shine brought several hundred perusers of classic cars to Main Street in Enterprise Aug. 19. The Stangel family and Main Street Motors sponsor the event. According to Doug Crow of Main Street Motors, the event was a success although the 99 participants was fewer than the previous year. “The eclipse had a negative effect on us because peo- ple were afraid of the traffi c,” he said. He said the Rods of Idaho and Oregon had initially said 28 members would enter cars in the show, but only 10 made the trek. Despite traffi c fears, the furthest traveled participant, Bob Montgomery of Boring, Ore., drove his 1969 Camaro to the event. Nonetheless, the Rods club received the show’s group participation award, a new category offered this year. Even with the fewer participants, the show was a big hit among attendees, according to Crow. “It was a perfect day for the show and early results from a crowd survey were positive, as well as a survey of local merchants. As long as we can keep the downtown merchants satisfi ed with good business after blocking off the streets, we’ll keep going with this,” he said. Show results were not available prior to press deadline. Photos by Steve Tool of the Chieftain Batman was here.

Getting good at golf requires patience Kayakers revel in a lake’s calm, but they must learn to maneuver choppy waters to stay safely afl oat. Horse riders enjoy relaxation on cleared mountain trails but quickly learn to hold on tight through the rug- ged rock. The 4-wheeler operator thrives on rough terrain, but learns respect for his machine before he broncos up. Golfers, who pride themselves in low scores and long drives, must fi rst experience high scores, short drives and expert advice from others. In any sport, patience, practice and 1996 BMW Z3 1.9 STOCK # 10574 • 57,320mi. RWD, A/C, PS, PW, Pwr Locks Rochelle Danielson knowledge reward you with humble pleasures of the game. Several novice lady golfers, who have participated in Wine-Down Thursday, a game organized earlier this year at AMGC, have found that unlike the occasional kayaker, trail horse rider or the four-wheeler, that to learn the game of golf — depending 2009 HARLEY DAVIDSON FXDFSE CVO SCREAMIN EAGLE FATBOB STOCK #10547 • 7,692 mi. on how often he/she plays — takes a long time. One new golfer repeated advice she’d been given by a “not so new” golfer about being patient ... “that the fi rst six months you suck.” (Six months? For some, it’s years.) Thumbs up go to Kate Crawford, Mary Moe, Char Williams, Sue Cop- pin, Josie Conrad, Rebecca Knapp, Billie Suto, Sarah Follett and also to Karen Coppin and Nancy Hook, who joined the ladies last year, and Susie Brown, who joined this year, for giv- ing golf a try and sticking with it. This past Thursday several of Tuesday’s lady golfers gathered to play the scramble with the new gals. After playing nine holes in the long shadows of early evening every- one congregated in the clubhouse to tell their stories of hilarious golf moments, moments that sooner or later all golfers relate to. With so much golf information to absorb, what the new gals are dis- covering in what keeps them coming back is the surprisingly long drive, the well-hit ball, the short chip to the green, a one putt and best of all, play- 1980 PONTIAC 2005 TOYOTA FIREBIRD FORMULA COUPE TACOMA ACCESS CAB STOCK # 10453A • 61,653 mi.
