Chamber Chatter By Claudia Hughes. Chamber Manager October literally flew by like the leaves whipping off the trees. All who participated in the scarecrow contest made it a unique month for Heppner as people enjoyed the 24 lively creations scattered about town. Winners will enjoy their dinners donated by Gary and Dian at G&D's Linger Longer (formerly Cal's). Chamber appreciated the spirit. Speaking of spirit, the Chamber and merchants are working hard to plan yet another great "Stroll Heppner and Light Parade", scheduled for Thursday, Nov. 30. One and all are invited to begin stringing lights on their entries to help make this the best light parade ever. Soon entry forms will be available at the Chamber office and various businesses around town. Be sure to pick one up. Out o f town entries are welcome. Along those lines, think "light up Heppner". If you are one of - those great volunteers who puts lights on a tree, plan to be on hand to deck the halls on * Tuesday, Nov. 28. Assistance will be provided for the larger trees. Pull out those lights and check to see that they are in working order. An "elf will be in touch soon. It just seems that some force has speeded up the time. We're supposed to be getting 24 hours a day, the clock says we are, but why oh why do those hours go so rapidly? Is it because we are trying to live more than one life? Would a clone help? An especially hard working volunteer said that the only way to get out of a job in Heppner is to either move or die. A better idea is to find some more volunteers to "make it happen". Chamber members Dave Sykes, Darrel Raver and Jerry Breazeale have jumped into the thick o f things to make jobs happen in the Willow Creek Valley. These "three musketeers" are on the go to market Heppner's industrial site in conjunction with the Willow Creek Valley Economic Development group, and buy-in from business owners. One of their goals is to contact all Heppner High School alumni. Hats off to these fellows and to all who are working to bring family wage jobs to south Morrow County. Pause this weekend to pay tribute to our veterans, explain Veteran's Day to your children and grandchildren, give a veteran a hug. Where would America be without them? Thought for the week: "You can tell a lot about a person by the way he/stie handles three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights." i
