Chamber Chatter
By Claudia Hughes, Executive Director
It seems to me that fall comes around every three
or four months rather than once a year. The calendar pages
float off the wall like the leaves that will soon be falling off
our trees, but seasons are wonderful and I’m grateful to
live in Oregon where we experience them. I just wish they
wouldn’t go by quite so fast.
Many of you were here for Fair and Rodeo, while
others exited. The Fair Board, Rodeo Committee, families,
and so many others put their heart and soul into this annual
event. Each year brings change and the ability to look at
the week in different ways, to be present in the moment or
to be in such a rush that it’s gone with the flash of an eye.
Through my eyes, this year was watching an empty
pavilion on Monday morning transformed to an amazing
fair by Tuesday. V olunteers did th is, from all the
superintendents, parents, kids, Extension staff, fair office
folks, to an eight-year-old who wanted to make sure all
the community booths were filled and thus spent five hours
and many more at home drawing and planning to show the
River to the Mountains theme in her very own booth. It
was the Queen, Princess and their families with cheerfulness
and enthusiasm hosting the Queen’s luncheon in the old
beef bam and helping, with little sleep, throughout the
weekend. It was a chicken laying an egg in a child’s hand.
It was the grace of winning and losing for the 4-Hers with
their projects and livestock, and the tears as they bid farewell
to many months of hard work.
Watching the bucking stock at this year’s rodeo
was a thrill. High quality. The committee was brave enough
to make some changes, which appeared to be successful.
With change come new problems to solve, such as space
for the expanded number of horses and horse trailers, and
how to handle slack. Nothing is unsolvable. It’s exciting
that change brought more people to Heppner to stay longer.
Share your thoughts with the Rodeo Committee before
they convene on Monday, Sept. 12, at 7 p.m. to plan for
2006. If we all work together, all of the main events
throughout the year will continue to enhance Heppner and
provide a variety of opportunities for visitors.
Hats off to all of the people who worked so hard
during and leading up to Fair and Rodeo week. Our
Chamber Parade Committee: Cliff Green, Barb and Jim
Hayes, Bill and Ann Spicer, Joann Burleson, Dale Bates,
Larry Mills, and others made the parade happen, as did
participants from near and far. It was great to have the
music of the mounted band. The committee is hoping that
the school/community band will participate next year as
well.
And now, onward and upward... football, volleyball,
music, art, marketing our community, supporting local
events so we can be well-rounded, welcoming newcomers,
planning for 2006, caring for each other and just being
plain thankful for life in the Willow Creek Valley. We’re all
so lucky to be able to call this home. Support your
community, care for it, keep it vital and alive and live life
to it’s fullest. Every day counts.
