Local businesses reminded to gear up for St. Pat’s Aside from plenty of fun activities for the whole family, local businesses also have special opportuni ties to get involved in the St. Patrick’s Day celebration this year. There will be a trophy awarded to one local busi ness that participates in this year’s Great Green Parade. This will be a roving trophy and will change each year, depending on the local busi ness winner. The trophy was designed by Wood on Wood and is sponsored by Community Bank. “We would love to have great participation by our local merchants and hope you’ll consider being a part of this year’s ‘Great Green Parade’ on Saturday, March 16,” says chamber Executive Director Sheryll Bates. To enter the parade, businesses or individuals need to fill out a registra tion form and get it back to the chamber office or to Joe Perry at Bank of Eastern Oregon no later than Friday, March 8. Contact the cham ber with any questions at 541-676-5536.

The event will take place from 10 a.m. till noon on Willow Street, between Murray’s and Artisan Vil lage. Those who reg ister teams are asked to put down three preferred throw times and, if they need to split up their teams, also to make a note of that. Teams are also asked to make sure they have a team captain and put a contact number so they can be notified of their toss time.
