active military personnel by
showing the county’s pride
in those serving for their
country.
The Morrow County
Fair would like residents

them, if possible. An ad
dress for people to write to
them is also encouraged.
Anyone with a picture
to display is asked to drop
it by the Fair Office by
Aug. 6. Anyone who has
a photo but can’t provide
it by that date may contact
Ren’ee Yocom at mcfair@
co.morrow.or.us or 541-
676-9474 to make arrange
ments.
If military personnel
show up in uniform during
the fair, they will receive
free fair passes.
My family would like to recognize John and Cathy
Marick at the Willow Creek Diner and Bakery for break
ing out of the mold and introducing a healthier, and deli
cious, style of dining to the Heppner area. We have tried
many different things on the menu and have liked all of
them. We don’t eat only vegetarian or vegan-style diets but
are very impressed with the efforts and accomplishments
of the diner in making such a healthy choice so delicious
that the change of ingredients is hardly noticed. We en
courage everyone to give this style a try. We would say
you will not be disappointed; you will, more than likely,
find a new favorite.
