Around About
"WR-The Heppner Gaiette-Tlmes. Heppner, Oregon. Thursday, September 3. 1981
part of several not to toss a few pme roosters omo me gnus.
Jim Ackley's good musical presentations seemed to inspire
more crowing than did the youthful rooster coaches,
including Queen Nancy Miller and Princesses Anita and
Kathy.
Each year many people marvel at the fine work displayed
at the fair by the youth and adults of this county. It is a fact
that the FFA and the 4-H work here is outstanding. The
open-class exhibits in baked food, canned food, needlework,
crafts and art and photography surely rank very high. It
seems like the flower and vegetable divisions may have had
more and better entries other years. The grain division was,
as usual, outstanding. I can't compare the animal entries or
the livestock sale with other years, but these are always very
good.
The community booths seemed to really stress the themem
"Expanding Horizons of the 80's." The Veterans of Foreign
Wars and the VFW Auxilliary certainly had a deserving
sweepstake-winning booth. Perhaps the fact that the Fair
Premium Books came out in mid-June made for a better
number of good entries this year than in years when the
premium books have been released much later.
Somehow there seemed to be a smaller number of
commercial exhibitors at this year's fair. There also seemed
to be a fewer number of participants in this year's Saturday
parade. Did lone or Boardman participate? Weren't there
fewer visiting court groups than usual? Maybe the high cost
of travel, which has curtailed the trips that our own court
makes, has cut into the schedules of others, too. It was so
good to see the fine number of folks from Pendleton pass by.
Everyone enjoys the colorful Soroptimist clowns.
Attendance at the Friday night Morrow County Rodeo and
at the Saturday and Sunday afternoon open rodeo shows
seemed good. People have been saying that the rodeo shows
were well run. It was sad to hear that several performers and
at least one horse suffered, serious injuries.
The Sunday morning breakfast certainly proved again that
the Wranglers know how to put on a first-rate Cowboy
Breakfast. Even though the early diners found the air chilly,
the food and the crowd were warm and very good.
So, now it is back-to-school time and back-to-regular-activity
schedules for all family members.
One of the cute stories that came out during fair week,
which I shall long remember, concerns jolly Monsignor
Murphy who is the substitute priest at St. Patrick's church.
He told his congregation that a little girl he met at the fair
was puzzled by his clerical collar. She studied it a little while
and then asked him "Is that a flea collar you are wearing?"
How quickly the 1981 Morrow County Fair ended, then the
county rodeo, the parade, the open rodeo, the beef barbecue
and the Wrangler's breakfast whizzed by before the final
performances of the rodeo. Friday and Saturday nights saw
rodeo dances at the Fair Pavilion, and many local folks and
visitors enjoyed the carnival rides and booths during the
action-filled days.
How good it is to live in a community where volunteers give
their time, energy and skills to work with these special
annual events. So many hundreds of man, woman, and youth
hours went into all of the community-originated events, that
even at sub-minimum wages, the cost of that labor would be
tremendous. Bless those who worked willingly and well so
that everyone could enjoy attending these late-August
activities.
Probably statistics will be published soon telling how many
attended the various events. Right now, I am only able to
guess at how attendance compared with former years - and
my personal experience goes back only 15 years now. It
seems that the fair was well attended. The special events
such as the tractor contest, the pet show, the horseshoe
pitching and the miniature car races pleased many.
It was a surprise to learn that the Family Fun Night last
Wednesday drew more individuals than the committee
ordered dinners for. When Irene Anhorn's Rooster Crowing
Contest brought forth a dozen or so roosters while the
barbecue equipment from Milton-Freewater was still visible
in front of the grandstand and when people were hungry who
were shorted chicken dinners - it took some restraint on the
