Chamber Chatter By Claudia Hughes, Chamber Manager Many familiar faces were present last week at the BMCC WOW classes, which covered many facets of the Internet. Attendance demonstrated an interest in further computer education for the public. The classes were presented at a pace everyone could understand. The Chamber of Commerce and Heppner Economi c Development Corporation hope to make that a reality in the near future. More people can benefit from computer clasSe's if they are held "in their back yard" and we hope arrangements can be made to bring them even closer Stay tuned. Many people are to be commended on a successful fair and rodeo weekend and now it's time to think school, football, and regular weekly Chamber meetings. This means we put on our thinking caps for Hallow een Spooktacular, Christmas lighting and light parade. Town and Country entertainment and St. Patrick's weekend plans. Want to get involved, do you have some great new ideas, heard any entertaining speakers? Please stop by the Chamber office to share your thoughts. Looking for a relaxing evening of music? Purchase tickets for the Ian Tyson concert Tuesday evening, September 15, at 7:30 p.m. at Pendleton's DoubleTree Outdoor Amphitheater, the Concert Bowl. And who is Ian Tyson, you ask.
