BRIEFS STAFF PHOTO BY TAMMY MALGESINI Leprechauns will be out in force during this weekend’s A Wee Bit O’Ireland Celebration. The 36th annual event is Thursday through Sunday in Heppner. Heppner celebrates St. Patrick’s Day By TAMMY MALGESINI COMMUNITY EDITOR Everyone can claim to be a wee bit o’ Irish during St. Patrick’s Day in Heppner. Sheryll Bates, Heppner Chamber of Commerce executive director, invites people to Shamrock Central as they paint the town green during the 36th annual A Wee Bit O’Ireland Cele- bration. While the major- ity of the shenanigans take place Saturday, the event kicks off Thursday with a vendor’s square (9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.) and a drama performance (7 p.m.) writ- ten and directed by Father Gerry Condon. “Searching For Meaning” is free but donations are accepted on behalf of “Anson Strong,” benefiting the family of Anson Fairbank, a local 2-year-old with leukemia. New this year is Mur- ray’s Irish Beer and Wine Fest. Featuring Dan Burns 3D Productions — an elec- trifying live DJ show com- plete with music, lights, fog and more — it kicks off Fri- day at 8 p.m. at the Mor- row County Fairgrounds. Admission is free. Food and drinks will be available for purchase. Musical entertainment, food and fun will be aplenty as people from near and afar celebrate the town’s Irish heritage. Joe and Leanne Lindsay, their children, Ryan, Cori Jo and Andrew, and other extended family members are grand mar- shals of the Great Green Parade (Saturday, 1 p.m.). Also, the Lindsay gang will surely share some blar- ney during the Irish Coffee Hour (Saturday, 10 a.m.). Actually 90 minutes long, the coffee klatch is a weekend highlight, Bates said. It features music, an Irish Brogue Contest, cash prizes and running com- mentary between host Tom Melton, Condon (a retired Catholic priest), U.S. Rep. Greg Walden and local attorney Bill Kuhn. Although new to the cof- fee gang, Kuhn’s corny jokes have earned him the seat previously reserved for Dominic Monahan, a retired attorney. Other Saturday activities include the Welly Toss (10 a.m.). It features launch- ing Wellington boots for ol’ Irish fun and braggin’ rights. And, when Pioneer Memorial Hospital dis- covered some old gurneys, Bates said it was a sign to bring back the Bed Races (11 a.m.). Also, last year’s O’Planky Race (11:30 a.m.) revival was quite a crowd- pleaser, she said. In addi- tion, activities for young lads and lassies will be plentiful during Top O’The Hour (10 a.m. to 3 p.m.). The Road Bowling, Bates said, has been moved up to Saturday. If that sounds right up your alley, gather a team of four and register by 1 p.m. for the 3 p.m. lane assignments. The event also includes sheep dog trials, a Cruz-In car show, a children’s tal- ent show and the annual Friends of the Library book sale. Also, be sure to fork out some dough for a col- lector’s button for a chance to win a $100 pot o’ gold. The drawings are Satur- day at CEILI (2-4 p.m.) and during the CrossStrung per- formance (7:30-9:30 p.m.). “We try to have some- thing for everybody, so it’s not just the coffee hour and the parade and then every- one drinks beer,” Bates said. “It’s just a lot of fun.” For more information, including a link to a full schedule, visit www.face- book.com/st.patrickscele- bration.
