Chamber Chatter
By Claudia Hughes, Chamber Manager
Yes, it's a bit of a "walk on the
wild side" to shop Heppner right
now. 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.

maze.

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.
