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.
