It happened. And wasn't it much more fun than being sure we'd be into the project next summer and grousing about that day in and day out? Must admit that the scales were kind of tipping the wrong direction a few days for me too, but someone would usually poke me and say, "It's going to happen, quit worrying." Watch for some kind of celebration and the get-away drawing. Last entry day is Oct. 31. Now that we're almost ready to say how great we look, it might be time to focus on rural tourism for Heppner, the type of impact we do or don't want for our community, and actions we can take to make fun, positive, things happen. On November 17 and 18, a Rural Tourism Workshop is being offered in Union County. This workshop is for anyone with an interest in tourism from volunteers to business owners. Cost for the workshop is $50 and includes a Monday evening reception and dinner; breakfast and lunch the next day and conference materials. For more information on speakers and registration, give the Chamber a call 676-5536 the first week of November. Individuals may register up to 48 hours prior to the conference. Our Heppner businesses have some great Halloween business promotions planned for this Friday for all ages, so be sure to be downtown Heppner on Halloween for spooktacular fun. Happy Haunting.
