Many Hands Join to Make Fair
In Morrow a 'Show Window'
Perhaps one of the greatest
strengths of the Morrow County
Fair to be held in Heppner Aug.
21-24, is that it is organized
and carried on by all the local
people, who with the exception
of the county agents, give of
their time and talent, willingly
und without pay.
The Morrow county fair and
rodeo is under the general re
sponsibility of the fair board
made up of Al Fetsch, and O. W.
Cutsforth, Lexington; and Ber
nard Doherty, Heppner. They, in
(urn, have delegated the duties
of planning and running these
two events to two separate
committees a fair commillee
and a rodeo committee.
A look at the premium book
for the Morrow county fair shows

women working as superinten

Wright, Heppner, who has served
in this capacity for several years.
Who comes to our fair? Four
II kids, parents, their grand
parents and friends. In the adult
field one finds the livestock
raisers; the horse fans; grain,
fruit, flower, and vegetable rais
ers; those skilled in clothing,
needlework, foods, canning, and
hobbies. It's pretty much a rural
event not a commercial fair.
It's a "show window" of agri
culture where farmers and their
families match skills and dis
play the products of their land
and home.
County organizations also gel
Into the act by putting up com
munity booths that will tell their
story to the public. Seventeen
new booths that were built by
Harry Munkers, fair buildings
custodian last winter, will be
inaugurated this year.
It's an annual community
"morale booster" which is eag
erly anticipated each year.

munity minded people who

dents: Beef Donald Robinson; sheep

Junior Flower List
Adds Arrangements
To Fair Premiums
Junior flower growers will
have their own special premium
list for the Morrow County Fair
to be held August 21-24, instead
of following the adult listing, ac
cording to Mrs. William Rawlins
and Mrs. Omar Rietmann, two
of the flower superintendents.
"We've felt that the juniors
should have their own section for
a long time," explains Mrs. Raw
lins, "but we just met too late in
the season to get this revision in
the fair premium book. We hope
that enough junior flower grow
ers will see this new listing and
bring exhibits accordingly."
A decorative arrangement sec
tion has been added which
should draw interest.
Entries will be taken from 3:00
lo 8:00 p. m. on Tuesday, August
21 and from 8:00 to 10:00 a. m.
on Wednesday, says Mrs. Riet
mann.
Mrs. Kay Kistaomi, an accred
ited flower judge from Pendleton
will judge the blooms and ar
rangements at the fair.
New rules for the junior sec
tion of the flower show are as
follows: 1. Exhibitors will be di
vided into two groups, under 8
years, and 8 to 12 years. 2. Only
one entry per class or class di
vision. 3. Containers for section
A supplied by fair. Section B con- I
tamers supplied by exiuoitors
and must be marked with child's
name.
Classes in Section A include
displays in asters, marigolds,
