Chamber Chatter
By Claudia Hughe*, Chamber Manager
4-H News
Hats off to the organizers of
the Little League tournaments
who took the "bull by the horns"
to bring many visitors to
Heppner; and to the volunteers
who made it happen. Yes, some
were frustrated with not enough
accommodations but rallied and
had a great time in spite o f the
longer drive. They discovered
our "can do" spirit and plan to
return.
Speaking o f "spirit". There was
a lot of spirit in the "Celebrate
Heppner" music provided by
Tom Sly at the Senior Center
during the sidewalk sale. Many
commented about how refreshing
it was to hear jazz and easy
listening music on the street.
What a great idea to add variety
and reserve the traditional Irish
music for St. Pat's weekend and
western music for fair and rodeo.
The tapes were turned off for the
live music at 4 p.m. Many hours
of work were put into them.
Would the person who came by
the Senior Center and collected
the tapes please return them to
the Chamber.
August, where did you come
from? It should be about May in
my book. Limited time to think
about the Morrow County Fair
and Oregon Trail Pro-Rodeo.

offefs a great opportunity for
parade entries and fair booths.
Challenge your friends and
neighbors to enter at least one
item in the fair and join the
Chamber for lunch on Thursday,
August 17, at noon. It's our
annual county happening.
Welcome to new Chamber
member Joann Tingue, "Pudding
On The Ritz". Need catering, call
Joann.
Next week at chamber Tom
Wolff and Tom Sly will share the

presentation, which was viewed
by the Portland delegation and
those who participated in the
Baker/Morrow
Partnership
meeting at the Port o f Morrow on
Monday.
Thought for the week: "Better
one good thing that is, rather than
two good things that were, or
three good things that might
never come to pass." Irish

Great party.
I've been sitting here in my
rocking chair for a spell trying to
remember what it was I wanted
to say. something about a p arty ..
. Now I remember. At Music in
the Park at Irrigon I was totally
blown away by a great surprise
party. I really did not have a clue.
(Dang, why is that timer going
o ff... ? Sorry 'bout the delay, but
it was time to soak my dentures.)
Okay, now what was I saying . .
. Hmmm ... Oh yes, the surprise
party; that really was the most
excitement I've had since
retirement. (Where are those
reading glasses? Oops, on my
forehead. . ."
Anyway, there I was trying to
get my night vision back after the
big five-oh sign was plugged in
when the lone delegation arrives
in what looks suspiciously like a
senior citizen bus. (Whoa!
Laxative time, be right back.)
So we all sang along, ate fried
chicken and cake and had a really
good time
. (yawn) Everyone

A big congratulations to the
Little League for bringing the 11-
12 year old tournam ent to
Heppner. It took a huge amount
o f work and organization to put
this together and by all accounts
was a great success.
It was great to see so many
folks in the community pitching in
to help and having a lot of good
family fun.
I would like to thank the Little
League for the recognition o f the
fountain and also the honor o f
throwing out the first pitch. While
this was certainly not necessary,
it was deeply appreciated.
