BvJl'STINE WEATIIF.RFORD This fall three Oregon Chau tauqua '83 programs are scheduled for Morrow County under the Oregon Committee for the Humanities. Some per sons are not familiar with the concept of Chautauqua. Others here recall how delightful the yearly offerings were when each summer these programs were arranged under a big tent on Heppner's lower Main Street. They recall there was a wide variety of programs in cluding plays, lectures, comic performances, demonstra tions by special artists and other family-type amuse ments. Delia Scrivner says "We just loved to come to those programs. When my boys were little we all came in to the tent shows and the boys and other children sat in the front rows." Irene Anhorn remembers seeing these pro grams as a child. She says the tent was on a corner where carnivals also setup business at other times. Jane Rawlins was very young when she attended a chautauqua per formance of a fasicnating play with her family.

The programs which came regularly to Heppner were part of the Tent Chautauqua, traveling groups that operated in the United States from 1903 until 1930. They moved from town to town giving a program of lectures, concerts and plays in a large tent.
