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.
