EIGHT - Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, March 14, 2001
26 boys race
participants from out of the area
"Our Sunday attendance was
almost exclusively Heppner-
Lexington-Ione residents because
many out-of-towners come on
Friday and leave on Sunday
morning," said a committee member
The committee is hoping that early
arrivals from out o f town will join
the locals for bidding on some
fantastic auction merchandise.
The St. Patrick's Weekend
Auction adds another wee change
this year: it will be held on Friday
evening, March 16, at the Heppner
Elks Club.
The event will be held on the
ground floor of the facility, enabling
all comers easy access to the action.
The committee is eager to get the
word out about this new date, place,
and time because they do not want
any of their loyal bidders to miss
this opportunity for a grand time
and some super buys.
The "Country Store" carries new
and used items offered at bargain
prices. Buyers can begin purchasing
at 6:30 p.m. at the store. The silent
auction and live auction will run
simultaneously, beginning at 7 p.m.
Different times and locations
have been experimented with over
the years and for the past four years,
the event has filled the Sunday
afternoon of the weekend, held at
the fairgrounds. This year's change
comes in an attempt to include more
in Pinewood
Derby
By Debbie Harper
Cub Scout Pack 661's annual
Pinewood Derby was held March
4 at the Heppner Elks Club.
Twenty-six boys raced. The boys,
with some adult help, build the cars
from kits. They received their kits,
which consist of a block of wood,
four wheels and axles, in early
December. From those humble
beginnings some remarkable
creations arise.
In addition to the racing, the cars
were also judged in five special
categories: Best Scout Theme -
Curtis Harper; Best Accessorized
Man Holland; Most Creative - Bryan
Holland; Most Realistic - Justin
Gutierrez; and Best Paint Job - Drew
Brannon.
Special judges for these
categories were Phyllis Danielson,
Cara Osmin, Mary Ann Elguezabal,
Tom Wolff, Marti Brannon, Gene
Hall and Mary Hague wood. These
judges didn't have an easy time with
their decisions as all the cars were
very creative.
Race officials were starter - Terry
Harper, Cub Master, scorekeeper -
Craig Miles, finish line judges -
Craig Gutierrez and Doug Holland.
The Elks Club is Pack 661's
sponsoring organization, and has
been for many years. This year the
race had as a special guest, Gene
Hall. Hall started the Cub Scout
pack in Heppner many years ago.
Back then, Cara Osmin was his pack
secretary. He also built the track
the pack still uses, some 20-25 years
ago. It is surprising that with so
many cars raced over those years,
the track has held up quite well.
Race results by den: Tiger- first
place, Drew Brannon, second ,Zach
Hintz, third, Cody Orr.
Wolf-first place, Devin Robinson,
second, Seth Palmer, third, Justin
Gutierrez.
Bear-first place, Curtis Harper,
second, Bryan Holland, third, Drew
Johnson.
Webelos First Year-first place,
Spencer Palmer, second, Matt
Holland, third, Chris Hickerson.
Webelos Second Year-first place,
Trent Miles, second, Cameron
McCurry, third, Zach Alford.
Over-all race winners were: first
place, Spencer Palmer, second,
Curtis Harper and third, Matt
Holland.
The first through third place
winners in the dens can go on to
race in the district finals in
Hermiston, at Sandstone Middle
School, on April 28, at 9 a.m.
The auction fuels the yearly
celebration as the main fund raiser
for the St. Patrick's Committee. Each
year, the auction committee tries
to make the auction better in some
way than the previous year, adding,
changing, fine-tuning. "Something
for everyone and for every-size
budget" is the informal slogan of
the auction committee and it is
reflected in the format o f the
auction, which has developed into
a live auction, a silent auction,
raffles, a door prize and a "country
store."
Though the last two weeks
preceding the auction see the
donations nearly double, already
some notable contributions are on
display in the window of the
Heppner TV Company on Main
Street. A list of auction items should
be available on the Heppner web
site, wrww.heppner.net, (editor’s
note: this was not available at
presstime) and the plan is update
the list during the week as more
items come in. The local TV station,
Channel 3, is also running a partial
list of items.
On Thursday, March 15, the
Auction Committee intends to have
a list of auction donations available
at some of the eateries in Heppner.
Donations are accepted until the
event begins, so the list will be
almost, but not quite, complete.
Representative of the variety ol
auction items is this brief list:
barbecue for 25 at the bidder's
location; Mexican dinner for 10 at
the bidder's location; tickets to "The
Spirit o f the Dance," with an
overnight stay and dinner in
Pendleton; tickets to the Hermiston
Wine and Cheese Festival, with an
overnight stay and dinner in
Hermiston; gift certificates from
several of the dining establishments
in the region; a remote-control
pickup; an invisible pet fence; a
tricycle; stuffed animals; a Pendleton
blanket; a 'Kilamey' mirror;
sweatshirts; caps; a deer-hunting
trip on North McKay Creek; jewelry;
collectibles; $200 Senes E savings
bond; newspaper subscriptions; gift
baskets; a "child's package" that
includes a bowling ball and a spa

How long do you think The St.
Patnck's Celebration button has been
distributed? Do you know the
answer? This being the 19th
celebration, one would think it was
started in 1983, but it actually came
into existence on the fifth
celebration in 1987 by the
celebration committee Several have
collected all the buttons over the
years for a total of 14 this year.

Do you recall the large banner
Christsen made for the town
depicting the fine Irish heritage
and resources from around the
county? It flew high above the street
between The Shoe Box and Elks
