Flowers for Main Street By Sarah C'oller Main Street will soon have some new tenants. Heppner Garden Club president, Chuck Bailey, hopes that by Memorial Day, every downtown business will have made a place for these newcomers. The club, along with the Beautification commission, has come up with a plan to sell hanging flow er baskets to Heppner business owners. “ I think they will be quite attractive,” says Bailey, “ We need a little color on Main Street.” The baskets sell for S60, but citizens can donate to the project to ensure enough baskets to line both sides of Main Street. Donations can be made at City Hall. According to Bailey, the city has offered to water the plants and the maintenance crew will put in poles to hang the baskets on.

Klamath First www. klamnthfirst.com ttrstn FM Ö Equi Hwnnj Undr Cham ber Chatter By Claudia htughes Chamber Executive Director This is National Volunteer Week and to the many volunteers who are the backbone of this community, the Heppner Chamber salutes you for your continued gifts of time and talent. People have often said we should have a special event just to recognize volunteers. While this \ is so true, it is hard to get your arms around how it would be done. How w ould one do invitations w ithout leaving someone out? How would one feed most of the community? Where would you hold it? And how would one do it without having volunteers do yet more work? Ideas? In the meantime, give a volunteer a hug because they keep the heart of Heppner beating and set an example for our children and grandchildren to follow. Volunteers make a difference. The Chamber gets many calls for bed and breakfast facilities and the closest is the Woolery House in lone. Because o f the identified need for additional visitor accommodations in the Willow Creek Valley by our local economic development group, a B&B informational meeting has been scheduled for Monday, April 29, at 1:30 p.m. at All Saints Episcopal Parish Hall. Lyn Craig of the Bridge Creek Flora Inn in Fossil will share her know ledge with interested persons. No commitments are required, just come to learn. * Following the session, there will be an opportunity to tour the former Penland House, which is now on the market. All interested persons in the area are invited to attend. Call Doris Brosnan for additional information. Get to know the candidates. On Tuesday, April 30, the public is invited to join the Chamber for a brown bag lunch at noon at the Elks. Beverages will be available. County commissioner candidates Betty Gray, Barbara Bloodsworth, Dave Barnett, and Ray Grace will give a short presentation followed by questions and answers from the audience.
