Sixth-grader Bobby Mc Ewen, son of Mr. and Mrs. Don McEwen, of Heppner, sailed his bat-shaped kite. high above , the fairgrounds last Friday. He wasn't eligible for any prizes in the contest since his high-flyer was a commer cial kite instead of homemade. Windy Friday combination The Morrow County Fair grounds swarmed with young kite-flyers sporting kites of all sizes, shapes and colors. Some, like Earl Hammond who won the prize for highest flying kite, finally succeeded in getting their creations aloft, while other tusseled unsuc cessfully with tangled string,, fragile designs and general frustration.

Fifth and sixth grade, Wanda Riley, first Danny Fortenberry, sec ond; and Karla Crane, third. Elementary grades, Greg An derson, first; Tanya Powell, second; and Teresa Lindsay, third.
