way 395 to Fourth Avenue,
and a variety of vendors
will line the street. Parents
can shop around while their
children enjoy many games
and activities, including
a bounce house and face
painting, as well as a hands-
on exhibit from the Oregon
Museum of Science and
Industry from 9 a.m. to 3
p.m. inside Victory Baptist
Church near the corner of
Second and Main.
“OMSI is probably one
of the biggest hits coming
into Hermiston,” Pedro
said. “We have a lot more
activities that will be com-
ing there this year. 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.
Throughout the day,
chainsaw wood carvers will
create sculptures in front
of spectators to be sold at
an auction just after 2 p.m.
Last year, returning artist
George Kenny carved an
intricate eagle from a piece
of red cedar that sold for
only $90.
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.”

also feature vendors, and
about 30 trophies will be
awarded to the partici-

offer attendees a break
from the heat, and he en-

it out.
“It’s a lot of work, but
it’s a lot of fun,” he said
of the show.

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.
