Laughter is a great
healer, leveler and fun for
one and all as long as we
a re n ’t m aking fun o f
som eone w ith o u t th e ir
permission. Of course, if one
can m ake fun o f him or
herself, then all are welcome
to join in. With the things
that happen to me, what else
can I do ex cep t laugh?
Someday, maybe I’ll write a
book.
In the m eantim e,
co u ld som eone please
enlighten me on how to get
two very active earwigs out
from between the glass in my
not-so-very-old microwave?
And how did they ever get
in there and where did they
come from? Aquariums are
one thing, but w atching
crawlies while something is
microwaving is not my idea
o f v isito r friendly. Now
butterflies or fish would be
far more welcoming.
C o u n ty w id e fair
preparations are underway
and ju s t p o ssib ly som e
cooler temperatures are on
the way “From the River to
the M o u n ta in s.” The
windows in Artisan Village
remind us that we all have
things we can enter in the
Morrow County Fair, from
collections to antiques; from
artw ork to photography;
from flowers and veggies to
pies, cakes and cookies.
Think about some o f the
things you have that others
might enjoy seeing and take
them into the County Fair on
Monday, Aug. 15. Support
the kids of Morrow County.
The Fair and Rodeo are,
after all, what we make of
them . It is a great
o p p o rtu n ity
to
w ork
together as a county. Join in
and have fun.
Besides planning the
Morrow County Fair booth
for the Chamber and taking
parade entries, this week
finds C ham ber m em bers
g a th e rin g
props
and
m a rk e tin g m a terials for
prom otion at the Bite o f
Oregon in Portland. Morrow
County will be sharing space
w ith U m atilla C ounty to
showcase our historic and
recreational opportunities
fo r v isito rs. Set up is
Thursday evening and “The
Bite” will run from 11 a.m.
to 11 p.m., Friday through
Sunday at Waterfront Park.
W e’ll try to send som e
v isitors back to M orrow
County to experience our
Fair and Rodeo, the OHV
Park and the many amenities
we offer where rural is for
real. We’ll invite them and
they will come. Should you
happen to be there, stop by
the Eastern Oregon booth
and give those H eppner
prom oters a break. New
experiences are good (that
is, unless they involve an
unwelcome addition to your
microwave.)
T his w eek during
Chamber all entities report
and A ug. 18 w ill find
members enjoying lunch at
the F a ir and view ing
Morrow County talent. Join
us at noon.
T h o u g h t fo r the

Robert Walton works at finishing the Ag Museum mural.
The Mural Society
of Heppner is planning an
evening to celeb rate the
finishing of the largest mural
in the Northwest by a single
artist. Robert Walton has
shown his great talents by
taking old photographs and
putting together a mural
telling the story of Morrow
C o u n ty and the sheep
industry, which started this
county and how much the
ra ilro a d m eant fo r the
transportation of sheep and
later of cattle and wheat.

Forspirata’s Piratical Adventure
to be held at Cutsforth Park
The K ingdom s of
C hivalry (Forspirata is a
local chapter) are holding
piratical adventure Aug. 12-
14 at C u tsfo rth Park.
Activities on Saturday and
Sunday, Aug. 13 and 14 are
open to the public. Activities
include “Shinai” capture the
flag battles, plank battles,
treasure hunt, medieval shoe
workshop, paper boat races,
socializing and much more.
Events for the public will
begin at 9 a.m., Saturday.
The K ingdom s of
Chivalry are a not-for-profit
organization that focuses on
the time period of 410 to
1649. This period starts with
the sacking of Rome by the
Visigoths and ends >vith the
execution of King Charles I
of England, when O liver
C ro m w ell
and
the
Parliamentarians briefly took
co n tro l aw ay from the
m onarchy. K ingdom s o f
C h iv a lry ’s geo g rap h y is
limited to Europe, Asia and
A frica, and the range o f
lands and cultures found
therein.
K ingdom s
of
Chivalry seek to educate, not
only members of the group,
but also the g en eral
population, about the issues
and a c tiv itie s going on
during our time period. This
is done by p re sen tin g
research papers, crafting
item s o f the tim e, active
participation in combat and
archery, holding workshops
and
p e rfo rm in g
demonstrations.
K ingdom s
of
C h iv alry p lace a high
importance on education,
not only within the group,
but also by reaching out to
the community by going into
schools and public places to
share knowledge. Although
accuracy in recreation is a
noble goal, the Kingdoms of
Chivalry does not seek to
create a carbon copy of the
Middle Ages, but to recreate
the feel of the period with a
21s1 Century mind.
K ingdom s
of
Chivalry do this recreation of
history in several different
areas, mainly sword combat
(broad sword and Rapier,
aka Renaissance fighting),
arch ery (lo n g b o w and
crossbow, no high-powered
modem bows) and the arts
(co o k in g , sew in g , soap
making, etc.).
