Wilkinson Arena not finished in time Blue Mountain Offers... • • • • • • • • • Local collectors of vintage engines and tractors are invited to exhibit their favorite engines and share their hobby with visitors between 10 a.m. and 676-9146 Because of a heavy work load by employees of Northwest Metal Fabricators the new Wilkinson Arena will not be erected in time for fair. These employees will be volunteering their weekends and their employer will be donating the use of the equipment to put up the building. Without these volunteers the building would cost substantially more, says a fair spokesperson. The Fair Board is still accepting donations for the building. Plaques for $500 and brand boards for $100 are still available. There is also some space left for a banner for a $2500 donation. Anyone interested may stop by or call the Fair Office, 676-9474, for more information. Variety of food available at the fair Returning to the fair this year is Shalimar with his Fajitas, Gyros, Noodles, Kebobs, Fried Rice and Teriyaki Chicken. Fairgoers this year will also find Lind's Concession with his elephant ears, caramel apples, frozen chocolate bananas and cotton candy. On these hot days wouldn't a nice, cold Hawaiian Shave Ice or fresh fruit smoothie taste good? CR ICE will have these goodies plus other cold drinks available in their stand. If is it Mexican food that you are craving, Zamora's of Mitchell is returning to the fair after missing last year. In the middle kitchen of the Fair Pavilion, the Church of the Nazarene will be selling delicious home made pie and coffee each day of the fair. The Heppner First Christian Church will be selling Taco Salad, Lasagna and Sub Sandwiches. Of course the Heppner Soroptimists will be serving those ever-popular baked potatoes with the trimmings. And who could attend the fair and not patronize the 4-H Snack Shack with their hamburgers, com dogs, chicken strips, nachos, fries and drinks.
