involved, you’d have hundreds.
The projects like the Fairgrounds,
the “Main Street Project,” the RV
park, the ballfields and the Farm
Museum all took huge commit­
ments of time by many volunteers.
These and the ongoing projects
like St. Pat’s Weekend, the pa­
rades, the rodeos and sports
events all happen because enough
people care about the community
to make them happen.
Over the years as part o f the
Heppner community, it has been
my pleasure to have been a small
part in a number of these projects.
So having been one o f many, it
was truly overwhelming to find
myself singled out.
Again, thank you to Bill Kuhn
