A Gift to 4-11 Once upon a time there was a small winter recreation area called Arbuckle Mountain in the mountains above Heppner. This area was a special place to many 4-H members and others!

Judge D.O. Nel--son greeted the group, shared history of the courthouse, and briefly introduced the mem bers to some of the responsibi lities of those in the county government. Members then toured each office and were given insights on what is performed in each depart ment. ...even a look at the now partially dismantled jail!
