Chamber Chatter
B\ Claudia Hughes, Exec. Dir.
Heppner experienced its first Oktoberfest this past
weekend, with a bit of Irish, a bit of country, lots of contests,
German food, music, live and stuffed scarecrows and much
laughter Nancy Gochnauer, who personally organized this
first ever event, has the contest winners Kudos to all who
participated Gift certificates may be picked up at the
Chamber office and redeemed at local businesses
Our small community has so much to offer People
put their hearts and souls into so many events to draw
visitors and create an ongoing community spirit It saddens
us when stores who have been here “almost forever” close
their doors We appreciate their being a part of Heppner’s
Main Street for as long as tbev Itaye, What we are seeing is
retiremefit for many coming along the pike and a need for
energetic new faces to take their place As more and more
people leave town for a variety of reasons, businesses shrink
and our community shrinks
We have to get creative Remember when as
children our imaginations were unstoppable and nothing
seemed impossible0 We have to come up with ideas Many
are working hard to bring in jobs and we are hopeful that
some are just around the corner, but we also need retention
o f our existing businesses We have to be on our toes:
thinking about potential new businesses to fill spaces;
looking for capital to make it happen; and finding people
who are excited about building and growing business in
Heppner We have to dream, we have to believe, we have
to bend, we have to give a bit more o f ourselves and most
of all we have to energize the younger generation and help
them to understand that it’s not all about making the big
bucks and competing, rather it’s about being in it together
and enjoying a unique quality of life that cities cannot offer
When we re out of town, we could mention that
there are some great empty buildings in Heppner waiting
to be filled Ask friends what they miss about their childhood
and tell them many o f those qualities can be found right
here Talk to young families and encourage them to move
here Brainstorm amenities that we need and might be able
to recant Keep our hospital a vital part o f Heppner It
takes a community moving forward; complacency is what
causes the demise o f small towns Someone said, “Heppner
looks so good that it's going to have to hit rock bottom
before it comes out punching ” Let’s prove them wrong
Let’s fill these stores and create more reasons for visitors
and people to relocate Let’s let Salem know that solutions
to urban problems are not always solutions to rural
problems Offer ideas Vote
Those o f us “growing more mature” need 20, 30,
40 and 50-somethings to come forward to keep Heppner
alive and well We accept change, we accept new ideas,
we need the younger generation to step forward and share
their ideas Just do it Come to the table Be there, be aware
and prepare for Heppner’s future
Thought for the Week “We have lost everything if
we have lost our enthusiasm ”
