Competitors will be coming from seven states and as far away as Wyoming, Alaska and south ern California, and will be vying for prizes in three classes. Chairperson Mary Hamilton said, "One spectator is coming from Vancouver just so her daughter can watch because she saw the movie, 'Babe'." (As far as this writer knows, there are no pigs at these dog trials.) Spectators may wish to watch a bit of roping, but be sure to plan for the auction, the lamb barbecue and entertainment by the "Outhouse Singers," all located at the fair pavilion. Scheduling gives everyone the chance to get an up-close pre view of the auction items, while enjoying music by former Heppnerites Ron and Joe Mc Donald. Tantalizing lamb by chef Harrison may be eaten prior to, during or after the auction, with inside tables provided. "Auction chairperson Doris Brosnan and committee have put in long hours," said Chamber manager Claudia Hughes. "Now the success depends on bidders. It is the auction that funds on going St. Paddy celebrations and the barbecue that provides south Morrow County scholarship funds. Both make a great finale to the busy weekend."
