Chamber Chatter By Claudia Hughes, Chamber Manager IN CELEBRATION OF NATIONAL TOURISM WEEK Hey Good Bud, Just want you to know I took your advice to get away from the city and explore a place where rural is for real, Heppner, Oregon. Tell Mr. B he was clueless when he laughed and asked," What's to do in Heppner." Well, I'll tell you ... it's the place to find yourself, and I just may never leave. Once I left 84 at the Scenic Byway junction, I felt like I was in a different world. When they say wide open spaces, they mean wide open spaces. Braking is reserved for pheasants, quail deer and a few antelope. What a pleasant surprise when I arrived in Heppner, a friendly, clean, cared-for town with a tree-lined street, a great swimming pool, golf course, bowling alley, park with bright new playground equipment for the kids, B & Bs and the recently refurbished Northwestern Motel. Checked in, picked up some brochures at the Chamber of Commerce and registered at Central Market for the Volkswalk. What a great way to stretch our legs as we followed the shamrock trail and got to know the town with the assistance of the Walking Tour brochure. Ate a tasty lunch and headed to Willow Creek Lake for fishing. Next time I'll camp up at the RV park, either for the Wee Bit 'O Ireland celebration, Morrow County Fair and Pro Rodeo, Christmas lighting festival, or maybe all three. Already my stress level has gone down and I can think straight. Toured the Morrow County Courthouse this afternoon. What a beautiful histone building. Also learned that there is great hunting to be found in this area, much better than western Oregon. (Tell Mr B. that.) The museum was quite the adventure. Thought I'd never get Jillian out of there. She thinks she has found a long lost ancestor and wants to bnng her friends back. We hear there's going to be an antique machinery museum open soon, called The Farm. I'm told TKO, TREO, and Guest Ranches offer some great rural experiences. The kids enjoyed a swim at the Water Park while we soaked in the therapy tub and had a few moments peace. Then we enjoyed music and art in the park by local talent. Shopping is amazingly relaxing in this small town with friendly clerks. Sure beats those malls that all look the same with everyone pushing and shoving. People visit, ask where you're from, tell you the history of the area and suggest some additional adventures like following the Scenic Byway through the mountains, camping for a few days or cycling the rolling wheat country. There's even time to read a good book here. You know, Jerry, I'm glad you sent me to Heppner. I found myself again. My family talked to each other for a change, we don't usually have time. And you'll never believe, there's a subdivision going in up on the hill overlooking the lake. We're looking into it. The St. Patrick's Senior Apartments would be ideal for the folks. This is a town where everyone works on projects together, like landscaping Main Street. The Heppner Coordinating Council, Heppner Economic Development Corporation and the Chamber of Commerce all invite interested persons to participate in diversified decision making. I highly recommend Mr. B. take a vacation to Heppner. He needs to get a life and there's no better place than Heppner for a tourist to relax during National Tourism Week or anytime. See you back in the rat race ... Mac St. Patrick7; Senior Center Bulletin Board There were 87 present for the senior birthday dinner April 29 and 21 meals were home delivered.
