Chamber Chatter By Claudia Hughes, Chamber Manager W e’re hearing much about the Oregon Trail Sesquicentennial Celebration. If you’re not a “ rut nut” and are having trouble get ting into the swing o f things, the following will change you: Visit the Oregon Trail Interpretive Center in Baker to “ feel” what our ancestors actually experienc ed. Attend the dedication o f the Well Springs Kiosk north o f lone on Emigrant Road in Morrow County Sunday, May 16 at 2 p.m. You should RSVP to 989-8188.

Perfor mances are at 4 and 8 p.m. Tickets are $5 and available at the museum and Chamber office. They are selling fast. After a short visit to Baker, I have a great respect for the pioneers who, if they didn’t leave most of their treasured belongings behind, had to before they reach ed the end o f the trail. I gaze with awe at the antique mirror in my mother’s bedroom that came on the trail with her great aunt and wonder that it made it, a reminder o f the home left behind. While these treasures meant much to the pioneer women, discarding them along the trail was not nearly as heartbreaking as burying so meone every 80 yards. A trip back in history can give us more perspective on our lives today. Motorcycles roared in Saturday and were greeted by volunteers Cara Osmin. Bob Jepsen, John Edmundson, Rene Devin, Meg Murray and the Spicerkuhn fami ly. Many riders indicated they would return in a car with their families on a later date and they appreciated the hospitality. We were sorry there were accidents. Wind, we were told, made riding very difficult. Next week Chamber will hold another conference call with Wes C ooley, our senator. Come prepared to ask questions. Thought for the week: “ The on ly way to make a man trustworthy is to trust him "...H . Stimson.
