The Heppner Gaatette-TImM, Heppner, Oregon. Thursday, June 30, 1983 THREE
Around About
By Justine Weatherford
Last weekend was a time of coming and going. Quite few
folks went out of louth Morrow Co. for vacations, for rodeo
participation, for family reunions and weddings and other
special events. The weekend In gathering at the Willow
Creek Country Club drew family members and former
residents back to Heppner.
It was good to receive the 1983 Morrow County Fair
Premium Book, all 40 pages of it, along with last week's
newspapers. Having It included with the Boardman Enter
prise may help bring more north county participation to this
year's all-county Fair and Rodeo.
Something very delightful, helpful and new took place at
the county fairgrounds on Saturday afternoon. Advertized as
a Harvest Celebration, it was an excellent new program
sponsored by the Morrow County extension office staff.
Birdine Tullis explained to me that the and County Agent Bob
Costa thought a sharing and learning experience before the
fair would perhaps Inspire more persons to enter exhibits in
more categories In the coming fair. Perhaps this was the
good happening that it had been predicted would follow the
three or more unfortunate happenings in our area.
Instead of a "Harvest Celebration," maybe the new event
might be titled "A Saturday Afternoon Summer School." Or,
since "school" isn't too popular a word with some folks, how
about "A Saturday Afternoon Get Smart Celebration" or,
maybe "A June Idea Factory." It can develop to an occasion
when the group of talented, knowledgegable persons in the
county share their cleverness and perhaps inspire others
annually.
This first, three-time-sessions experience Intrigued local
folks who attended and brought some out-of-towners, such as
a car full of ladies from Herminton who had read about the
happening one of them brought along a friend from Hawaii.
All gathered in clusters to enjoy the eight different
demonstrations so expertly presented.
During the first hour (1 to 2 p.m.) four different classes
were offered. Out in the dorm, Morrow County Woman of the
Year, Francine Evans came from Irrlgon to Instruct a group
In the art of wheat weaving; at the same time, Ione's Ruth
McCabe was showing admirers how to make the lovely folded
star patchwork potholders, or pillow tops or a variety of other
items. In the same part of the big pavilion room, extension
staff's Birdine Tullis showed strip quilting and wind sock
making techniques. While at the stage end of that room
Heppner Garden Club President Tneta Lowe demonstrated
flower arranging with an assortment of late June flowers
which she and other Garden Club members brought along. In
the annex room, cake baking and decorating skills were
btring carefully explained by Helene Holcomb of the Oregon
Wheat Commission office in Pendleton, whose demonstration
was called "Everything You Never Knew About Making a
Cake." The demonstration area included recipes for the
Oregon Wheat Growers League Cake and also lovely, tasty
samples of the finished cake served by Shannon Farley
Miller of the Morrow County Wheat League.
During the second time period (2:15-3:15 p.m.) there were
three different helpful classes. The Morrow County Cow
Belles put on a beef cookery demonstration in the annex
kitchen using Sandy Carlson's prize-winning beef recipe
demonstrated by Heppner's Sandy Bennett. In the pavilion,
Lexington's Chuck Nelson and his mother, Jean, showed a
group how to make a wheat sheaf. This lesson thrilled many
area residents. The third class was held in the 4 H dorm, and
was instructed by Nancy Miller, from Cecil. She fascinated a
group with her demonstration "How to Grow, Harvest, Dry
and Use Herbs." Nancy had done lots of homework and
prsented most Interesting stories about the historic and
present-day use of each herb. She so charmed her listeners
that they helped her move her items out of the dorm onto the
lawn to continue past her scheduled time.
The final sessions of the afternoon (3:30-5 p.m) included
"Food Preservation with Little or No Salt or Sugar," led by
Elva Madden of the extension staff of Wheeler County. She
came from Fossil to tell health-conscious, diet-concerned
people about new and special ways to handle food. While her
class was going on in the annex, extension agent Bob Costa
conducted "A Dircussion of Topics for Wheat Growers,"
Including weed control, diseases, fertilizer, storage, insects
and more in the dorm. Knowledgeable Costa has so much
helpful informs tin to share with area farmers those who did
not attend lost a fine learning opportunity.
Because I recall the very first American Association of
University Women sale in Heppner, many years ago, before
the title "Artifactory" was coined, and know how exciting
and satisfying it has been to see how that group of women has
built up their first Saturday in December sale to a most
successful and helpful annual event, I have much hope for hte
continuation and growth of this extension summer program.
We hope their "Idea factory" really grows and really
accomplishes its original intent in that more citizens are
inspired by the clever leadership and demonstrations to
spend more time In their own homes producing things they
can proudly bring to the late-August County Fair.
During most of June and continuing into a big part of July a
large working force has been employed in our mountains
spraying trees. These workers and scientists are putting in
long days, seven days a week. It is impossible for them to get
to Heppner very early evenings. Some bring their laundry to
town many would like to be able to buy a few items and
say they surely wish one of the grocery stores would stay
open until 9 p.m. on just one night per week they have
suggested on Friday night.
How quickly summer's big three-day holiday, the July
Fourth weekend has arrived. This will mean a big rush of
goings and comings. All of the family of Jim and Madge
Thomson will come to Heppner to help celebrate their golden
anniversary. The Morrow County Fair and Rodeo Court will
be of f to Condon where they hope to collect another first place
in the parade and rodeo. Many Heppner families will, aa
usual, go to Condon to enjoy the celebration and to cheer the
court.
This year a new choice for celebrating is offered in
Pendleton where Rendezvous '83 is set to begin June 30 and to
carry on through Monday, July 4. The hipe for this occasion
calls it "an Authentic Western Festival designed for family
fun and participation." Its promoters suggest that everyone
"get out your buckskins and buffalo robes or your old clothes
and come with us back to the days when the Mountain Men
and the Indians came together to tell long tales around the
campfire, compete in games of skill, and to celebrate the
past year's exploits and adventures." We hope the Chamber
of Commerce encouraged fete is successful, but dislike to
have it draw too many folks from Condon's long-time
celebration.
