Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, August 6,1997 - FIVE We make Posters The shelf life of ripe fruit can be extended by controling the presence of ethylene gas that causes fresh produce to spoil. Too bad they can't master the human aging factor. However spraying on an anti-aging substance might create too many well-preserved old fruit cakes. Yet they have determined that older people's brains do manufacture new brain cells, which blows my good excuse for forgetting things. But like the loss of youthful body flexibility you can also lose brain power, it seems. In other words it's a downhill process when it comes to using it or losing it. Hence there are sticky-note reminders in my home, even in the bathroom, as well as in my purse and the car. If one is lost, I'm in big trouble. Yet my biggest problem comes from stacks of readable materials. Ajid when it comes to condensing these piles at a later date, I can't seem to remember why some articles were saved in the first place. But the subject of old things leads me to advocating that everyone should enter things at our fair. There is no category for live old bodies in the antique comer. But how about your grandmother's old flatiron, an antique vase or collectible old tobacco tins? Ch- show off that antique hand-me-down quilt made ages ago. The craft department should overflow with all those crafty things made by many talented people in this county—from wooden goodies to birdhouses and stuffed rabbits and dolls or delicate hand-painted china. And then there are those masterpieces on canvas that should be displayed on the bam board display area. Ch- seamstresses can show off fine handiwork when it comes to quilts, doilies, clothing and other works of art. if your talent runs to growing things one can usually find some blossoms that despite heat, f lower at the perfect time. And don't forget those carefully-tended houseplants.But if your posies tend to wilt on the way to the show maybe you can enter them as dried horticulture. There doesn't seem to be any category for a six-foot zucchini in the fruit and vegetables department. But you can bring those un fried green tomatoes And it's a pretty sight to see rows of preserved fruits, vegies and all types, of preserves and jellies on the canning cupboard shelves. How about turning on the air conditioner and whipping up a plate of cookies or a loaf of bread? You could also bake an Oregon Potato cake for the wheat league cake baking contest. I don't know if it's cricket, but I've used instant potatoes for this since I seem to be allergic to potato peeling. Just remember it's everyone's fair and a great way to showcase the efforts of many talented county residents for everyone's enjoyment. The hardworking fair board, fair committee and many dedicated superintendents put in many hours towards making this a great yearly event. And this year they have spiced up the affair with a variety of musical entertainment, a clasic auto show, a hands-on science program for children and don't forget the pet look-alike contest. The 4-Hers and FFA members who have had the experience of taming and grooming their animals might fully appreciate how fast porkers can run when the Alaskan Racing Pigs take to the track.
