TEN The Gazette-Times, Heppner, Ore., Thursday, June 23, 1977
with Justine Weatherford
Some folks can't understand what there is to do in
Heppner how life can possibly be interesting in such a
small, off-the-highway town. How I wish they had been here
this last seven days instead of going away to find something
to do elsewhere.
As always during school-vaction months the fine County
Museum continues open daytimes on Monday, Wednesday,
Saturday, Sunday and on Thursday evening. Also there were
activities at several churches every day and every evening
last week.
At a special event on Thursday evening, June 16, parents,
grandparents and other family members beamed with pride
as the 75 youngsters enrolled in the three-Church, "Reach
Out" Vacation Bible School performed and showed off their
crafts. The twenty -some teachers, assistants and high school
helpers who worked with the children at the five-morning
school, had their pupils demonstrate part of what they had
learned then, instead of on Friday the school's final day,
because it seemed that too many persons planned to leave
town Friday afternoon.
All week long there was a great crowd of swimmers
enjoying the city pool most of each day. Pool Director Tom
Franks and the crew that assists him seem to keep pretty
busy, especially from 1 p.m. to about 5:30 each afternoon. I
watched the operation on Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and
Sunday. Notable were the two "foot" inspectors, Don and
Bart Penney, who seem very careful and efficient.
The baskets clerks were friendly and helpful. What a
calamity it will be if that pool closes at the end of this
month which could happen, as the pool, like the library, is
only presently funded through June 30. However, it seems
that swimmers and their supporters are much more vocal
and active in soliciting help than library users are.
Well, so far I've considered mainly youth activities. Last
Saturday saw this town really blossom. The Greenup-Walton
wedding was one of the largest ever held here with an
overflow crowd at St. Patrick's and cars parked around the
church for many blocks. We know that some Heppner
families went to Condon to attend the Butler-Wolff wedding
at St. John's Church there also.
Saturday evening, besides the dining, dancing and
celebrating following the big wedding; the crowning
ceremony for this years Fair and Rodeo Queen Mary Anne
Proctor and her court took place at the fairground. This
annual, no-admission-charged special event is always good
family fare. It was followed by the Queen's dance in the
Pavilion Building. (Which hopefully was not followed by
fighting that needed city, county and state police to break it
up at happened the previous Saturday night.)
A good number of the HHS Class of 1967 with their wives
and husbands and seven of their teachers enjoyed Saturday
evening visiting, dining and dancing at the Elks Club. Many
of them had also enjoyed a morning of golf together and quite
a few had luncheon visits.
Sunday the big action shifted to Cutsforth Park where the
Elks held their annual picnic. The Smith-Carpenter wedding
at Hope Lutheran Church that afternoon, with the reception
following downtown at West of Willow, involved families and
friends of the principals. The Class of '67 wound down its
reunion activities with a family picnic at the fairground.
So, granted, not every week and weekend is so action-filled
here. However, there are four more Saturday evening Fair
and Rodeo Princess Dances coming along on Saturday nights
before that biggest of all weeks when the County Fair and
Rodeo take over.
There are various club events and picnics scheduled for
almost every weekend during the summer. This coming
weekend's Masonic 100th Anniversary will draw may people
here.
The county-funded museum will continue to draw praise
from visitors who are so surprised at its size and its fime
collections. Hopefully the city swimming pool and the public
library will continue to serve their patrons.
Last Monday saw the first of this year's AAUW-arranged
Library Story Hours for children from four through eight
years of age. These "hours" are set for 10 a.m. each Monday
when the swimming pool is regularly closed for cleaning and
maintenance.
A committee of volunteers has arranged the story
schedule. Children and parents of older family members
should get to the library, or near the library
by 10 a.m. as the storytellers like to have the group assemble
before they begin and not have children dribble in late and
miss part of the day's story or program and disrupt the
attention of the children who arrived on time.
