The Heppner Gazette
Around About
By Justine IVeatlwrford
About the busiest week of the year for many person In
Morrow County and In Hcppner particularly, began on
Saturday, August 21, and ended after the final rreo
performances on Sunday afternoon, August 29.
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.

superintendents report that their areas had more entrants
than last year - although a few departments went down a
little. 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.
