Health fair organizer
Chris Yriarte, who works
for the Malheur National
Forest, has been spear-
heading the event since it’s
beginning in 1994.
“I can’t say enough
about it,” Yriarte said. “It’s
one of the neatest things
we do in Grant County for
our community.”
She planned the event
with a health fair commit-
tee comprised of staff from
Blue Mountain Hospital,
Grant County Health De-
partment, Forest Service,
hospital auxiliary mem-
bers, and hospital and for-

Aasness noted that the
Commission on Children and
Families used to help organize
the event, but since that agen-
cy dissolved, she is doing the
organizing.
“If we can get more groups
to help with the next year’s
legwork, it would be great,”
she said.
She also welcomed more
people to staff booths.

A MAN
WAKES
UP in the
morning
after sleeping on...
an advertised bed, in advertised
pajamas.
He will bathe in an ADVERTISED TUB, shave with an ADVERTISED RAZOR,
have a breakfast of ADVERTISED JUICE, cereal and toast, toasted in an
ADVERTISED TOASTER, put on ADVERTISED CLOTHES and glance at his
ADVERTISED WATCH. He’ll ride to work in his ADVERTISED CAR, sit at an
ADVERTISED DESK and write with an ADVERTISED PEN. Yet this person
hesitates to advertise, saying that advertising doesn’t pay. Finally, when his
non-advertised business is going under, HE’LL ADVERTISE IT FOR SALE.
Then it’s too late.
AND THEY SAY ADVERTISING DOESN’T WORK?
DON’T MAKE THIS SAME MISTAKE
Advertising is an investment, not an expense. Think about it!
