TARA LEDDON ASSISTANT STORE MANAGER, BELLINGER FARMS When and why did you move to Hermiston? I moved to Hermiston when I was 14 years old from California. My dad got a job with the Union Pacifi c Railroad. What is your favorite place to eat in Herm- iston? My favorite place to eat is Texas Roadhouse. They have good food and the atmosphere is fun espe- cially when the wait staff dances! What do you like to do in your spare time? I enjoy going on hikes with my dog or taking a drive to the mountains with friends. I also love going to cheer on the Tri-City Americans hockey team.

I am currently reading Candle in the Darkness by Lynn Austin. It’s one of those books that’s hard to put down! What app or website do you use most often other than Facebook? One of my favorite apps is Instagram. I use it more than Facebook. I like getting to know people through their pictures and explore photos from all over the world. What surprises you about Hermiston? What surprises me about Hermiston is the growth. I have only been living here for about 14 years and a lot has changed. Many new businesses and schools, which brings more opportunities/ideas to make our community great! If you could travel anywhere, where would you go? Australia! I have seen pictures and heard stories. Hopefully I will one day get the chance to go visit! What is the funniest thing that’s happened to you? Last month on a Leadership Hermiston day trip I went to the bathroom and my group left to go to the next place on the agenda and forgot about me! It was only our second time getting together and it made everyone laugh. All the other stops they made sure I was on the bus! What is one of your goals for the next 12 months? My goal for the next 12 months is to go back to college and fi nish my studies. What is your proudest accomplishment? Losing 100 pounds six years ago and being promoted to assistant store manager at Bellinger Farms!
