Balloons and some
T-shirts will be given away.
Yo-Country will serve com-
plimentary watermelon fro-
zen yogurt from 11 a.m. to
noon.
Pedro reassures the com-
munity there will be plenty
of refreshing summer treats,
including free bottled water
from many vendors, Otter
Pops, a beer garden and
shade over the seating area
in front of the entertainment
stage.
This year’s entertain-
ment features a mariachi
band and other live acts.
Meanwhile at McKenzie
Park, the community is in-
vited to take a cruise through
automotive history, with a
little help from the Hermis-
ton Classics Car Club. More
than 75 classic cars will be
on exhibit from 9 a.m. to 3
p.m.
Car club president Larry
Storment said, depending on
the weather, he expects cars
from Idaho, Washington,
California and even Canada.
A few years ago the
show was on Hermiston
Main Street, and Storment
remembers how hot it could
get on the asphalt. The move
to McKenzie Park makes for
a cooler event with grass and
trees providing a more pleas-
ant experience.
There will be car-relat-
ed vendors selling goods as
well as food vendors and
live music, and the Hermis-
ton Saturday Market will be
open nearby.
More than 20 awards
will be handed out at 2:30
p.m. and Storment says the
awards are surprising, “very
unique,” and worth coming
to see.
The 21st annual car show
oficially kicks off Friday,
July 8, with a poker run and
potluck for show entrants
starting at 6 p.m.

tion, contact Larry Storment

Fans in Eastern Oregon
will get a chance to meet
Moore July 8-9, as she’ll
be in Hermiston during
premiere showings of “The
Dog Lover.”
Described as a heart-
warming tale of family,
love and doing what you
believe in, the suspenseful
drama is inspired by true
events.
Moore is cast as the
executive director of an
organization that rescues
animals and lobbies for
animal welfare laws. Say-
ing she enjoys playing the
part of “a bad guy,” Moore
describes her character as
being a “wolf in sheep’s
clothing.”
The storyline centers
around a young woman go-
ing undercover to iniltrate
a puppy mill and ends up
exposing radical animal ac-
tivism.
“It’s based on a true sto-
ry,” Moore said. “It’s not
propaganda, it’s not made
up.”
Hermiston
resident
Dave Duquette, equine
representative for Protect
the Harvest, is hopeful the
movie will inspire people
to conduct research before
donating money or getting
involved with causes.
Multimillionaire Forrest
Lucas of Lucas Oil Products
Inc. is the ilm’s executive
producer. The Indiana man
also is founder of Protect
the Harvest, which ights

Lucas teamed up with
Ali Afshar, the movie’s
writer/producer, to form
ESX Entertainment. The
idea was to create a hand-
ful of social issue drama
feature ilms — “The Dog
Lover” is the irst release.
Duquette said present-
ing information through the
ilms provides an avenue to
reach a larger audience.
“When I go to a horse
event or cattle deal or a
rodeo, the people in ag-
riculture understand,” he
said. “I’m preaching to the
choir.”
Moore was contacted
by Afshar — who she met
while waiting tables 20
years ago — about doing
the ilm. Once she was on-
board, she met Lucas and
was then commissioned to
work on writing and pro-
ducing a trio of upcoming
ilms with ESX Entertain-
ment.
“In Hollywood, it’s not
what you do, it’s who you
know,” she said.
