-Continuedfrom PAGE ONE have ever been to has been
outdoor show. We had a lot
of success doing a benefit
for Travis Bellamy three
years ago outside. So things
just came together.”
Harris started working
with DeRina Howard and
Ryan and Sharon Miller of
Buckunm’s Tavern, whom
he says have been doing
“so much w ork” on the
event. He has also received
help from Jody Maddern,
who will help oversee the
festivities. Owen Mays out
of Madison, Wl, has done
all the artwork.
“I have had a lot o f
help,” says Harris.
Harris says he also has
received support from local
businesses like Sykes Real
Estate, Les Schwab Tires,
A-l Martin Towing, Corey
M iller Farm ing- .M iller
Wheat Inc., Seth Moses
Roofing, Miller and Son’s,
Pat and Trish Sweeney,
and a private donator out
of California who would
like to be known as “Ridge
Runner Randy.”
“All o f the support
means a lot to m e,” he
says. “The fact that these
respected business owners
have enough trust in me to
do something good for our
community is humbling.”
S till, som e peo p le
may ask, “Why Heppner?”
Harris’ reply is, “Why not
Heppner?”
He says the small town
environment is no detraction
from the potential success
of the festival. He points not
only to Farmageddon in the
small town of Yellowstone,
MT, but also to events like
the annual biker rally in tiny
Sturgis, SD, or lone’s Red,
White and Blues festival.
“Any music festival I

We can't measure S cut lumber

(a n d s e t up
We don't sell or bag groceries
WEBSITES!)
We shouldn't run with scissors
in the middle of nowhere.
Sounds like a perfect place
to do something,” he says.
“Bands love playing here.
They get treated great by
Bucknum’s Tavern and all
the people who attend our
shows there. A lot of the
band members are from
small towns themselves,
so they feel right at home
here.”
H arris added th at,
w ith the d ep artu re o f
F arm ageddon Fest for
Wisconsin and the number
o f bands booked for the
festival, the event should
draw in a lot o f out-of-
towners. T hat, he says, is
also a big reason to hold this
festival in his hometown.
“ When I was a kid,
Heppner had a lot more
going on for it. After the mill
shut down, things have not
been the same. It seems like
'every year the turn-outs for
both rodeo and St. Patty’s
Day are getting lower and
lower. I have watched a
lot of things l love in this
town die...K ate’s Pizza,
Court Street Market, R&W
drive in, C al’s, M illers
Mini Mart, Coast to Coast
hardw are....” he recalls.
“It’s sad to me. I’m just a
kid who grew up here and
loves my community. I’m
not rich. I don’t have much
to offer but, honestly, this
is my way of trying to help
out. Maybe add a fresh idea,
add something new to the
picture.”
Harris says he intends
the event to be for all ages,
with food, beverages and
vending available, as well
as a clear view of the stage
for folks of all ages to enjoy.
Planned activities include
a White Trash Costume

the new music festival scheduled for Heppner this week. -

contest and hot dog eating
contest, both with prizes.
A specified 2 1 -and-up area
will have alcohol available.
He does say that some
of the bands use profanity in
their lyrics, but he has tried
to schedule the bands so
those with the most strong
language will be 10 p.m.
or later.
All in all, Harris says
he is excited about the
event, and hopes it creates
a standing tradition for his
hometown, with a yearly
festival and even bigger
names.
Bands and musicians
featured at the event include
James Hunnicut, Angie and
the Car Wrecks. Billy Cook,
Saint C hristopher, Dog
Bite Harris, Owen Mays,
Joshua Momingstar, Stoned
Evergreen Travelers, Darci
Carlson. Dead End Friend,
Bass Line Bums, Savage
Henrys, Justene Marie, The
Whiskey Hooves, Travis
Bellamy, Jake Roy and
Skyler Evans. The groups
will bring to the stage an
eclectic blend o f music
that Harris says includes
old -fash io n ed country,
bluegrass, rock ‘n roll,
punk rock, heavy metal
and rockabilly.
“I know all of the bands
personally and I’m very
picky about who I bring in,”
says Harris. “The bands I
bring are respectful. You
won’t see any rock and roll
egos or life-style with these
folks.”

bill property owners, in
order to bill tenants instead.
A fter m eeting with

Instead, the council asked

tenants to see if there was a
way to update the language
in the ordinance, to make it
more fair and equitable for
all residents of Boardman.
In other city business.
Police Chief Rick Stokoe
