Being away for a week and coming to the construction "cold turkey" was good. It helped to see the situation through the eyes of a customer or visitor, as I meandered my way from the grade school to the Chamber Office. Look at the experience as an adventure as you hold the vision of the finished product. Our business community is to be commended for their side door entrances, some complete with trees and flowers. Businesses are glad to accommodate their customers by making deliveries, especially for those with health concerns. Now the challenge...signs to make it easier as we navigate the Main Street maze. For a "drive on the wild side", head east on Highway 74. Drive slowly as you climb and you'll experience an array of wildflowers like you've never seen before. From Indian Paintbrush to Bachelor Buttons, there's every color of the rainbow. Yet another amenity of our rural wealth. Then there's the "ride on the wild side" with 400 BMW bikers visiting Heppner this weekend. Formerly a Redmond Oregon event, Heppner was identified in the BMW publication for "terrific roads and western hospitality". The visiting motorcyclists will be staying at the Morrow County Fairgrounds Friday and Saturday nights. Let's show them our Heppner hospitality and let them know that soon our Main Street will also be great. Wanted ambassadors: men and women who like to have fun and make people feel good. Join us for the first ever "Hard Hat Potluck", noon, Monday, June 23, at the City Park, Main Street. Bring a lunch item to share or brown bag. The first challenge will be to ease our community through the "Main Street Madness" and have a great time in the process. Thought for the week: "He who laughs, lasts."
