The Friday evening Morrow County Kodco brought glory and awards to resident cowboys. The Saturday and Sunday afternoon shows had many outsiders competing. However, this year's exciting new features, the hillside suicide race and the amuiting mule races were dominated by home folks. 1979 Morrow Rodeo Queen Dcbra Palmer showed her outstanding horsemanship In winning the first hillside race. Debra, like her three sisters: Barbara, Donna and now, Anita, gained much fine experience serving on the Morrow County Court. Most folks who really know about Morrow County Fairs say that this year's fair was very good. Many department Heppner athletes win at Jr. Rodeo Two Heppner cowgirls and one cowboy took top awards at a Western States' Junior Rodeo at John Day August 20, 21, and 22. Over 200 partici pated in the three-day event. The three, along with several other cowboys from Heppner, will also compete in the West ern States Finals Rodeo at Sisters. Tara Mahoney took the Ail Around Senior Cowgirl award, and placed first in pole bend ing, second in goat tying and third in barrel racing. Jeff Bailey won the Ail Around Senior Cowboy title, taking first in team roping with Linda Laughlin of Baker, second in steer wrestling, and tied for third and fourth places tn the bareback riding event. Trisha Mahoney, taking first In pole bending, second in barrel racing and sixth In goat tying in the junior division, was named All Around Junior Cowgirl. Also placing from Heppner were Earl Hammond, second in the saddle bronc, Don Kindsfather, first In steer wrestling, and Pat Schwarz, second in calf roping. The team of Kindsfather and Sch warz took a second place win In the team roping event. Those going to the finals rodeo at Sisters will be Earl Hammond -saddle bronc; Jeff Bailey - steer wrestling, bare back and team roping; Tara Mahoney - team roping, breakaway roping, barrels, pole bending and goat tying; Trisha Mahoney team rop ing, breakaway roping, barrels, pole bending and goat tying; and Mike Mahoney, team roping and ribbon dog ging. The top 15 in each event are chosen to compete In the Finals. In current standings, Bailey and both Mahoney girls have good chances at the AJ1 Around Western States' titles. HHS grad admitted to Pacific IL with honors Michelle Aaron of Heppner is among 20 freshmen at Paci fic University who have been admitted with Presidential Honors at Entrance for the fall of 1982, announced a Univer sity spokesperson.

The number of commercial exhibitors was up considerably this year. The support from folks in the Boardman and Irrigon area was certainly appreciated this year. It surely seems like more than just one week passed between the 4 II and Open-Class Horseshows and the beginning of the fair and last weekend's big rodeo events. Tuesday night's Family Nite dinner and program was very ' well attended and was made exceptional because of the appearance of Governor Atiyeh. The governor got a good liMgh wb-n nedclared that he wi enjoying Ms wrnnrf cp of coffee - "the first one was carried off by the flies." The entertainers, jtoddard and Cole, surely got a big boost when the governor praised them. You may have noted that they are appearing at the Oregon State Fair this week. Thevarlety of special events and contests at the fair were delightful. I understand that the 4 H and FFA Market Stoc k Sale was not as big as it has been in years past, but as always, it brought rewards and satisfaction to many youthful participants and to the loyal adults who helped them, Saturday's Main Street Parade went off as scheduled. The line of nice, wooden benches along its route were something new this year. I asked several folks where the benches came from and finally was told that they were brought out of the Union Hall. They were a thoughtful and helpful addition to parade time. I have only watched 16 Heppner parades now and recall that the first few I saw were more impressive, not that this year's parade was poor. It had the usual fine display of beautiful horses, old cars and of rodeo royalty. However, many folks sorely missed the band music of former years. I loved seeing two bands, Heppner High's and lone High's, both performing in earlier parades. One year I remember a band made up of students abetted by quite a few older citizens that was really great. I've heard that the Rev. and Don Shelton and Heppner's new band teacher Don Christ ensen really tried to get a band together this year before the parade but had to gH up the project when they were unable to gather more than a few recruits. In years past there surely were more organizational floats. Some groups spent many days putting together their parade floats. This year there did not seem to be much group participation. The Heppner Soroptimists in their bright clown suits added nice color as they distributed balloons to children. Miss Piggy and friends were cute as they hammed It up for Central Market. County Commissioner Dorothy Krebs drew applause for her leadership act. I heard her being called "Mary had a little lamb" and then "Bopeep." Whichever she might have been, her good sheep was following her along. Many of us were sorry that the public address system we have heard formerly was also silent this year. Just having the broadcasting of information would have helped take away the absolute silence that accompanied most of this year's parade. Grand Marshal Jim Hayes, Sr., did a fine job and it was good to see the Morrow Royalty and their large company of pennant bearers. The old cars and the Frank Anderson buggy brought smiles. What a fine, big delegation came from Pendleton with their horses and the calliope. The Round-Up Times, Heppner, Oregon, Thursday, September 2, 1982-TIIKEE Court, the Happy Canyon Princess and the group of officials and boosters added much to the parade here. The first and last places in the lineup were filled by the veterans of the American Legion, such faithful paraders. Some folks estimated that this year the number of spectators watching the parade was down some from previous years. The Morrow Co. Court and the girls' mothers were hostesses at the Royal Luncheon, held between the parade and the afternoon rodeo. The number of entrants and viewers at the rodeos was "about the same as other years." The rodeo dances pleased many. The two barbecue dinners on Saturday evening, one at All Saint's Episcopal Church and the other at the Elks Lodge, were occassions for lots of good visiting. Local people and visitors mingled, caught up with news and enjoyed the good meats. The Sunday morning Cowboy Breakfast pleased many. Having the meal at the fairgrounds saved the Wranglers the effort of moving their stoves and wood into Heppner City Park where they had been serving on rodeo Sundays for quite a few years. Queen Anita Palmer and Princesses Nancy Paine and Annette Wilgers haven't too many busy days of reigning left. Soon it will be back to school. They have had a big summer and have probably learned worthwhile things from their various appearances and community visits. They have worked at being good representatives of the people of Morrow County. The threesome will still make several appearances in Pendleton and will, of course, still be our queen and princesses until a new court is selected. We all owe these girls and their faithful chaperone and queenly mother, Mary Ann Palmer, many thanks for their good work. io life U Market Jl r-r - PRICES EFFECTIVE SEPT. 2 THRU SEPT. 5, 1982 p:?$V47 CA- ) f rrrrrrrrn rtrwrrm fTrm ( ) ! a.
