HAT ROCK STATE PARK Those five girls who
make up the 1969 Morrow county Fair and Rodeo court
aren't just horsewomen.
They proved that Sunday, when they relaxed (all
except Princess Rhonda Bellinger, who was . . . yep,
you guessed it . . . working) for an afternoon of pleas
ure at the McNary Yacht Club on the Columbia River.
And it was a good time.
The day, hosted by Queen Sheila Luciani's parents,
Mr. and Mrs. George Luciani, was a get-together of the
court, their parents, members of the Rodeo Board, some
invited guests, and one newspaperman.
There were about 70 persons on hand for a day of
fun before a long week of activities of the Fair and
Rodeo.
It was one of the few week ends they haven't had
to make some sort of appearance somewhere in East
ern Oregon.
Princess Patti Healy decided she wouldn't try to
waterski (she hasn't learned how to swim) but Queen
Sheila and her Princesses Janet Palmateer and Sherri
O'Brien all got up together behind the Luciani's boat.
At one time, they were even joined by Ron Currin.
Her father went too fast for Sheila, so she gave
him a ride a little later in the afternoon. With the
rough water along about 5 in the afternoon, the skiing
got a little treacherous.
The older folks, and some of the younger ones,
too, all get a ride in Glenn Campbell's big cabin cruis
er. There was plenty of food and refreshment for ev
eryone, and the picnic tables were humming when the
dinner hour came.
And a good meal called for another boat ride. The
river was like glass at 7 p.m., and it urged one to break
its mirror-like surface.
Now that sounded like a great idea, so the three
members of the court headed back for shore to don
their swim suits for an evening dip.
It was almost nine o'clock before they headed back
out, and the darker it got, the more fun it was to park
the boat and swim in the middle of the Columbia.
You could tell they were relaxed.
You might not be able to tell this week, but just
ask them.
It was a good time.
