Looking forward to returning to visit friendly Heppner Every Sunday Mary Ann F.lguezabal gets a call from Dave Zachry. He says, “Your flowers are ready, you can pick them up whenever you drive by.” The flowers not only brighten her classroom but the children have expanded their knowledge of flowers. They know the parts of a flower and also the names of every flower in Zachry’s yard plus the flowers he gives the classroom during the winter. Over the year that is in excess of 25 different kinds of flowers. On Thursdays, the children get to take the flowers home or take them to their homeroom teacher. The students, our visitors, and the teachers appreciate his extra touch of education. This quote from Arthur Cleveland Coxe, “Flowers are words which even a babe may understand,” rings true for the children who love having flowers in their classroom.

We enjoyed all three days o f our visit - an impressive week end. We started out Friday at 9 a.m. for the merchant sidewalk sales followed by free strawberry shortcake at Sweet Productions. From the “Welly” Toss to the small dog races, the hamburger and hot dog barbecue provided by the Bank of Eastern Oregon and with excellent enter tainment by Brady Goss provided opportunity to meet “locals.” Even the weather cooperated. On our own we visited the museum, walked through the cemetery and enjoyed the “garage sales.” We continued to be impressed with our visit when we saw the evening historic drama dispersed with humor and history. The dessert served was out o f grandma’s cook book. We recognized the enormous amount of planning generated by many to present the friendly and energetic face o f their town. We look forward to a return visit to friendly Heppner.
