Apparently, this 2002 fair court member and her queen, Salli McElligott, had quite an experience with their friend Rachel recently. We w eren’t supposed to spill any details, so we’ll just drop a few phrases and let the readers use their imaginations as to this scenario. How about: “big truck”, “big bumps” and “no seatbelt”. T his 18-year-old Heppner graduate with brown hair and brown eyes seems to be full of smiles and giggles and big dreams. Princess Julie will be attending BMCC this fall, studying “something in business, maybe finance or m arketing.” She is currently employed at the Bank of Eastern Oregon. Princess Julie has had many experiences throughout her high school years that will prove useful in the people-oriented world of business. She has served as the Student Body Publicity Director at HHS, the president of OSSOM for tw o years, the secretary o f N ational Honor Society, and a Parks Committee Member; as well as participating in various sports, cheerleading, 4- H, and the Catholic Church youth group. However, most would agree that the most impressive line on the princess’s resume will read: Heppner Student o f the Year. Her parents are Mike and Kay Proctor of Heppner and her grandparents are Rocky and Nita Proctor o f lrrigon and Lucille Kostechka of Portland. She has a sister, Josie who is 21 and her brother Roy is 14. Princess Julie comes from a family who has been involved in the Oregon Trail Pro Rodeo and Morrow County Fair now and in the past. Her aunt Maryanne Munkers was on the courts and now serves as an O regon Trail Pro Rodeo chairman. Her father, Mike, and uncle Barry Munkers serve on the rodeo board and her aunt Theresa Proctor Reese was on the courts as well. Princess Julie loves to ride horses and hang out with her friends. She would like to get a four-year business degree and a “good job”. “Maybe I’ll come back to Heppner when I’m ready to raise a family,” she added. C.J., the quarter horse Julie is riding this year, belongs to Bob and Sheree Mahoney. Julie’s animals include a dog, Rocky; a cat. Friendly; her pigs for 4-H and some fish. O f all the travels the court has taken this year. Princess Julie, like Princess Genia, enjoyed the Elgin trip the best. “It was fun because we stayed the night and got to go swimming and shopping,” she said. She said that she also liked the trip to The Dalles because it was a good parade. Princess Julie described the court’s work outfits: a hunter- green shirt with black jeans, their belt buckle, hat, and official jewelry. The smiling beauty seems to really enjoy being on the 2002 O regon Trail Pro Rodeo and Morrow County Fair court: “I’ve had a lot of fitn this year,” she said, “I have enjoyed meeting a lot o f people and I hope to see you all at the fair and rodeo.” Order Magnetic Door Signs HERE Heppner Eaictte-Times .
