“ Going for the Gold” was a
success story as the Morrow
County Fair and Rodeo received
a gold medallion for its 1992
show. This makes two years in a
row that it has received this award
under the merit rating system of
the O regon County Fair
Commission.
“ This was a banner year for all
Oregon fairs as 31 of the 36 coun
ties received gold rating status,”
said fair commissioner Jane
Rawlins, Heppner. Almost all
counties went to a lot of effort
torwards improving their fairs,
she said, whereas the majority of
fairs formerly received a silver
medallion after scoring between
850 to 950 points.
Fairs receive points for
management, community par
ticipation. showmanship, upkeep
and improvements of the physical
plant as well as off-season usage.
“ My impression of the Mor
row County Fair is one of
growth,” wrote Commissioner
Bill Rolfe, Grass Valley, who
evaluated the 1992 show. He add
ed some positive comments along
with improvement suggestions in
the merit rating handbook recent
ly received by the fair board. In
this book. Morrow County
received 965 points for a gold
rating.
Rolfe wrote that the master
plan is very attractive and that
yearly goals have been met and
expanded. Positive comments
were made about the excellent
quality of exhibits and the good
quantity and quality in the
livestock department. He said,
however, that potential growth in
both large and small livestock ex
hibits is inhibited due to lack of
barn space. The fairgrounds
master plan does not include any
barn expansion for that area.
More cars should be parked on
the athletic Field grass area to
relieve congestion of parked cars
along the highway, Rolfe noted.
He also suggested that the west
end of the main exhibit hall would
be enhanced by decorative means
as it is the first visable sight when
entering the main gate.
“ The rodeo is a major attrac
tion and the Morrow County Fair
and Rodeo cannot help but grow
and prosper under the manage
ment of a knowledgeable and
hardworking group of people,”
Rolfe concluded.
