EIGHT The Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon, Extension Events... with Birdine Tullis fv ,1 I F H 1 I I Labo Kids Arrive Have you met Shuhei, or Yoshihiki, or perhaps Keiko or Jun'ichi? Or the pretty chape rone, Hideko, who accompa nied the Labo exchange stu dents to our county? Chances are, if you have been in Heppner, you have seen one of their smiling faces around the town! The group arrived Sunday afternoon... after a hot trip by way of Wasco and Gilliam counties, where some of their traveling -companions left to join host families there. Each was eagerly greeted by wait ing host families, and hurried off to become part of the family for a month! While their English in some cases is limited, there is certainly no communication problem among the young travelers and their host brothers and sisters. Everyone tells me they are fitting right in... and having fun! Shirley Palmer, coordinator for the program, has arranged a picnic Sunday afternoon, August 6, for all families hosting the Japanese exchan gees in the four-county area, which will be the only oppor- . tunity for all the group to get together while in our area. Plans are also underway to take those staying in the Heppner area to the Umatilla county fair on August 9, to allow them to view a county fair and 4-H activities. Shuhei is visiting the Rick Curtis home; Keiko at the Jim Bloodsworth farm; Yoshihiko with the Gerald Bergstrom family; Jun'ichi at the Butch Laughlin home. The chape rone, Hideko is at the Les Paustian home. One member traveling with the group is hosted by the Raymond Allmaras family in Pendleton. She is a pen pal of the Allmares daughter... a friend ship resulting from an ex change of names by Noriko, a Labo exchangee who visited the Vern Evans family two years ago. The Labo-Oregon 4-H ex change has far reaching effects, and friendships. Ano ther friendship formed, and carrying on, takes Carolyn O'Rourke, Pendleton, to visit in Japan with Noriko and her family at this time. Carolyn also met Noriko when she was at the Evans' home. Registrations for Fair Events Mailed All 4-H members and lead ers were mailed fair registra tion forms last week. Home ec members should have re ceived a form listing all contests open to them at county fair, with instructions or information concerning each event. A wide number of activities are listed, and we encourage our 4-H kids to participate! There are con tests for junior, intermediate, and senior age members. We think the fun. ..and the learn ing experiences are those that offer the member the oppor tunity to be there... doing! Deadline to register for contests is August 10, but we certainly appreciate an early reply. ..for each member must be scheduled individually for the contests and be notifed of their special time! Livestock leaders were mailed registration forms on which they should list all members who will be exhibit ing livestock. An early reply on these also will allow John to allocate stalls, and make all other preparations necessary for the exhibits! Exhibit Help Available Thinking of exhibiting some of your garden products at county fair? There's an excel lent bulletin, "Preparing Vegetables for Exhibit" that tells you how many to include in an exhibit, preferred size, how to do everything. ..that should be especially helpful to those who are entering pro ducts for the first time, or those who didn't fare as well last year as they might have hoped! Available free, exten sion offices! Around Our County I See... Grain harvest, with abun dant yields! Peas coming into Thursday, August 10, 1978 melon, fruits of all kinds.
