Ione FFA Chapter members attended the ninth annual Heppner FFA banquet in support of
their neighbors. The Heppner Ag Program recently developed a pheasant barn project with
the intent to raise and release baby pheasants. This project came with a lot of support from
local man Sam Hornbeck. Hornbeck recently passed and, as a tribute to him, the FFA chapter
voted to name the barn in his honor. At the banquet, FFA members from Ione presented a
memorial sign to Heppner members for just that purpose. The sign was designed and created
by Tyson Epperson and David Smidmajer during their time in shop class in Ione. Pictured are
