Fair/rodeo volunteers tremendous, but more hospitality may be in order To the Editor: A huge thank-you is hardy sufficient to acknowl edge all the hard work of volunteers and donors who make our fair and rodeo a success. The work of paint ing, decorating and staging these events requires many volunteer hours. The Bank of Eastern Oregon float in the parade was outstanding. In years past there were numerous floats. Other people also remember the floats put together by Lois Winchester, the Garden Club and various organizations. If the Heppner Chamber continues to manage this parade, an effort should be made to make contacts to draw participation from both local and outside areas. Morrow County does a lot of business in the Hermiston area especially when it comes to equipment not available locally. So they should be encouraged to reciprocate. That shouldn’t be too difficult since floats made for their parade could again be shown in our parade the following week after the Hermiston fair. Prizes and ribbons are a big draw. There again donations could help make this possible. Even a basket of goodies often attracts partici pation. As a sidewalk superintendent this year I received very useful garden gloves. A large segment of this year’s parade featured the different entities from the Pendleton Roundup and Happy Canyon and their mounted band. No small effort is involved in transporting all those horses and people to our town. Perhaps this is where Heppner failed in the hospitality department. A noon luncheon following the parade hosted by our local court members for the visiting rodeo courts and royalty was once the custom. Sadly our own fair and rodeo court seems to be another lost tradition. However money previously allocated for a luncheon and court expenses out of the fair board budget might be a means of hosting the Pendleton contingent. This year Pendleton had a noon picnic in the Heppner City Park. Perhaps it could be arranged to at least have drinks and a main dish such as a barbecue for them. A few chairs would be nice so that their court in their expensive regalia wouldn’t end up sitting on the grass. My “want to,” is hampered by my “can’t do” anymore. However I’m applauding the efforts of others who do make such a tremendous difference in our com munities.
