W e d d in g T ables
The story that appeared in last week’s Gazette-
Times regarding shed fire in Heppner incorrectly stated
that the fire started at 180 Gilmore Street. The fire actu
ally started at 160 Gilmore Street and destroyed the shed
on that property. The Gazette-Times apologizes for any
confusion.
