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
