Both events will be held upstairs at the Elk’s Lodge, the coffee hour from 10-11:30 a.m. and the Ceili from 2-4 p.m. Great programs have been planned to fill the day with music and local talent, and the group Whiskey for Breakfast will fill listening ears and hearts with lots of Irish songs—and, of course, they will want the audience to join in. Onlookers and listeners also shouldn’t be surprised if Heppner’s lep- rechauns make an appear- ance and dance to some of the music during their visit. Also at the coffee hour, the audience will hear some stories about this year’s grand marshals, past “key organizers” of the Heppner St. Patrick’s celebration, with a special mention of founder Jim Farley. It can only be hoped that Joe Lindsay will also be there with a song to share. The Irish Brogue Con- test will give the audience a chance to tell the best “Blar- ney” stories for a chance to win some gold coins, so ev- eryone should be thinking of something appropriate to share. The Ceili will run from 2-4 p.m. with Alan Feves and the rest of the Whis- key for Breakfast group. Joe Lindsay will join to wrap up the afternoon. The weekend’s main entertain- ment, Tiller’s Folly, will be stopping in around 3 p.m. to sing a few of their songs to get everyone warmed up for their concert, planned for 7:30 p.m. in the Gilliam and Bisbee building. The weekend is sure to make everyone want to clap their hands, stomp their feet, have a few laughs and even dance as they enjoy some great Irish music and entertainment. St. Patrick’S Day St. Patrick’s Day is here, you see. We’ll pick some shamrocks, one, two, three. We’ll count the leaves and look them over, And maybe find a four-leafed clover. I’ll sew green buttons on my vest. Green for St. Patrick is the best. I’ll wear a green hat, very high, And dance a jig - at least I’ll try! Happy St. Patrick’s Day from all of us at the Heppner Gazette-Times and Sykes Bros. Printing Chris Andrew David April Andrea Cindi Enjoy Heppner’s Wee Bit O’ Ireland Festivities!
