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.
