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. He is a three
time Canadian Country Music
Vocalist of the year, described as
the premier writer and performer
of music about the people of the
west. Line up your friends, drop
by the Heppner Chamber for
tickets and enjoy music under
the stars. Tickets are $10 here
and at other Chambers or $ 15 at
the "door".
Thought for the week: Enjoy
yourself. These are the good old
days you're going to miss in 10
years.
