Another busy weekend for Heppner. A good time was had by all at the Motorcross even though some arrived too late, but next year they’ll get a jump on it. The Chamber MS Walkathon team tackled the three-mile walk and will double their size next year and take on the five mile. A few stopped off to check out Main Street's new gift shop, Treasure's and Trinkets, while the male walker waited patiently outside. Willow Creek Economic Development, formerly HEDC, is working hard on business retention. It's great to have three new businesses on Main Street. First you find out if you're physically fit, then you pump iron and pick up a gift for the new you, all in a two-block walk. Chamber member Twice Upon A Time has moved next door to Heppner Hardware, formerly Coast-to-Coast. "Things, they are a changin." Such a great feeling to see the Main Street trees in bloom. Kay Proctor gave them all some pruning and TLC. It should make the tree and sod planters feel great to see results of their efforts. Visitors from Washington commented on how nice Heppner looked Saturday. They were celebrating their 56th anniversary with a drive here-all because "someone tall on the golf course in Tigard had sung praises of Heppner, the community that works together." Nice people. So, what are we going to do about our museum? It would be such a shame for it to close as it is a huge visitor attraction and people drive to Heppner just to visit because it has such a great reputation. Are there grants available? Are there volunteers to keep it open? Is some staff possible? Yet another result of Measure 50 and 5. Time for research and brainstorming. Next week, Tuesday, April 25, the Chamber will meet at the Elks to celebrate Secretary's Day. All members are invited to bring their secretaries or a guest. Special entertainment is planned and the Lady Elks are preparing lunch. RSVP to 676-5536 with a head count by Friday, April 21.
