Wheth- er you’re a toddler on through adults, there will be activities that all will enjoy.” The Outlaw Lawn Drag- sters are another main at- traction. At 10:30 a.m., 12:30 p.m. and 2:30 p.m., members of the group will rev the modi¿ ed engines of their custom riding lawn mowers and race at about 50 miles per hour in front of the Hermiston Herald of¿ ce.

Performers will also pro- vide entertainment through- out the event. With Jacob Looper, Dallin Puzey, Da- kota Brown and a mariachi band, Pedro said the music alone is worth a trip down- town. “I enjoy the music be- cause we have such great talents,” she said. “I enjoy the artistic talent we’re bringing in.” For more information about Funfest, visit herm- istonchamber.com or call 541-567-6151.

The car show will also feature vendors, and about 30 trophies will be awarded to the partici- pants at 3 p.m. Blanken- ship said the park fea- tures plenty of shade to offer attendees a break from the heat, and he en- couraged people to check it out. “It’s a lot of work, but it’s a lot of fun,” he said of the show.

The 10th annual event takes place Saturday this year on East Main Street in Hermiston. STORAGE: continued from page A1 warehouse, said their pri- mary customer is ConAgra Foods Lamb Weston, which completed a massive ex- pansion of its french fry plant at the port last year. Other processors, such as Boardman Foods and Tillamook Cheese, could also benefit from added cold storage at the port. “There has been a short- age of cold storage ware- housing space in the Board- man area for a number of years,” Barnes said. “This is just another service we can provide for businesses at the Port of Morrow.” The Port of Morrow charted 88 percent growth between 2008-2013, tied closely to the region’s ag- ricultural economy. A por- tion of the warehouse fund- ing — $6 million — comes from the Oregon Depart- ment of Transportation’s ConnectOregon grant pro- gram. Wednesday’s event be- gins at noon, features brief tours of the facility and catering by Dickey’s Bar- becue. The warehouse is located at 73336 Lewis and Clark Drive in Boardman.
