Around About fly Justine Weatherford Wasn't last Saturday's Fair and Rodeo Parade dandy? Harlcy Sagcr Is fofing complimented by everyone for hli fine work In planning and organizing such an interesting, long parade. The delegations from Hermiston, Pendleton, Stan field and Umatilla and other areas contributed so much to the show. That Junior high drum and bugle corps from Stanfield was so generous in walking the route twice. The musical group riding on a hay truck that Don Christianson, Heppner schools' music director, pulled together from his Junior high and high school students was much appreciated as it rode the route twice, too. Music means so much to the success of parade completely silent parades are very blah, very dull, compared to those that include several bands. The more the merrier. Paul Hisler was a fine grand marshal and Cornett Green was a great rear guard. The weather was Ideal o pleasant Just warm enough but not too hot. It was conducive to much pre and post parade visiting. Last week we asked for information about lady grand marshals. Now we know that there have been two. The first Fair and Rodeo Queen, Margery Park Ridings came from her home in New York to lead the parade In 1970. She was only 12 years old when she was chosen queen In 1922, Just 61 years ago. In 197S Eva Padbcrg Griffith was honored as grand marshal. Eva, who rode with this year's section of past queens, was 14 years-old in 1923 when she was named the second county queen. When I talked with Eva this week, she remarked that it is about time for another female grand marshal. There are surely many find candidates for that Job. Those who attended the extra large and lovely Queens Luncheon last Saturday saw so many former queens and princesses who had Just appeared in the parade and who were invited guests of Queen Lottie and Princesses Sylvia and Dawn. It was Interesting that so many of the past royalty were still able 10 wear their official outfits many of us mature females sure wish we were still the sire we were as teenagers. Very early courts included just a queen and one princess, and the girls passed along the costumes they wore from year to year, the fringed riding skirt and vest. In time the court was increased to five girls who represented various parts of the county recent courts have been only the queen and two princesses. One of the courts that was at the luncheon in full force, and that Fair Board Chairman Charley Daly commented about was the 1949 group led by Queen Shirley Wilkinson Rugg who is now an outstanding rancher. Shirley introduced her four princesses and also their official chaperone Inez Erwin. It was so good to see and hear the present court honor their parents and family members. Each family has to be most supportive while these girls make so many appearances during the year. Sometimes the family has been involved for quite a few years when a girl has acted as pennant bearer, then become a princess and maybe become queen. The girls' mothers often appear with them at luncheons. This year's court members' families had possibly the largest of all queens' luncheons to arrange as they not only, as always, had invited all visiting courts, but they also Included all the past county court members and other persons who had helped them during their year of glory. Talk is that the overall number of entries at the "83 fair, and the total attendance, too, was down; however, some folks think the number of persons watching the parade was up from former years. Having to relocate Family Fun Nite because of rain really cut into the Tuesday night attendance at the fair. The crowd which gathered for the chicken dinner and Helen Cornelius Show in the high school cafetorium was trmendous there was standing room only. It was interesting to note that Helen Cornelius and her talented musicians moved from Heppner to Salem where they entertained at this year's State Fair. Figures are not out yet on attendance at the three rodeo performances. Last week two boys displaying fishing poles and a nice trout 10 to 12 inches long came walking past my yard when I was out weeding. They were the first youthful fishermen I've seen since that bad chemical spill of June 13. 1 admired the catch as they walked by. Very soon they returned, and polite and friendly fifth grader Kevin Privett asked me If I would like the trout. He said he had kept his family well supplied, "We had some bigger than this last night." Few persons f ppreciatejresh fish more thanj do. Those who drive past or patronize ine Court Street Market are delighted to see the new exterior. It is so good to have the beautiful new Shoe Box and now this attractive market leading out with major improvements. Probably the recent re-paintings and the opening of Kate's Pizza and Pastry place and these rebuilding projects can't be called a real boom-but they are certainly indicating a nice upturn. Now if that big vacant space left hy the fire will be filled by a new post office and another business everyone will be so pleased. Thursday night, Sept. 1, a fine program is being presented in the Heppner Junior High gymnasium. It is the first of the Oregon Chautauqua '83 series of performances which will come to this county. The program, "Celtic Traditions in Story and Song" promises to be very interesting. There is no admission charge for the program or for the two programs "Masks of the World" which is coming to Heppner and lone on Sept. 13 and "The Fool; Social Critic and Healer," which will be presented at lone on September 15. For several years the Heppner-Ione Branch of A.A.U.W. has been bringing these Oregon Humanities Committee programs to this county. This year Abrams, Kuhn and Spicer, attorneys and the Lexington Machine Works are co-6ponsors. All the programs presented have been outstand ing. Since tonight's program delves into the background of the Celtic people who settled in the British Isles, persons here with Irish or English backgrounds should find it exciting. Bring your family to Heppner Junior High by 7:30 p.m. Remember this entertaining, educational program is free. WE ARE BACK TO REGULAR SHOP HOURS SHOP CLOSED SAT. Ron McOonaldf i 676-9108 i -j Inc.
