REALTOR V & 180 W. Baltimore *5 Heppner, OR 97836 www.htppntr.nit Volunteers, you are top notch. The fog rolled in, it was mitten weather and there you all were putting the lights on the trees. Some of you were probably thinking, "Why did I ever buy a tree," or "Some gift this was." Well, if it weren't for you, it wouldn't be "beginning to look a lot like Christmas". You make the difference as each o f you gave a positive "yes" when Pat Edmundson makes her annual calls asking you to light your trees or those o f others. You are one o f the many things we have to be thankful for this holiday season. Congratulation Mustangs. You put Heppner on the map in a positive way, win or lose, and you won.
