Hats off, bouquets, roses,
salutes, etc., to all those positive
Heppnerites who have been sure
the Main Street project would be
finished this year and who knew
we would have a beautiful Indian
Summer.
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.
THOUGHT FOR YOUR
WEEK:
"The
secret
of
contentment is knowing how to
enjoy what you have, and to be
able to lose all interest in things
beyond your reach."
