Umatilla Museum uncorks wine & cheese fundraiser In a renewed effort to continue to preserve the history of Umatilla, the Umatilla Museum & Historical Foun- dation is hosting a fundraiser. DHS wrangles in rocking horse fundraiser By TAMMY MALGESINI COMMUNITY EDITOR People who enjoy hors- ing around are encouraged to buy a raffle ticket for a chance to win a rocking horse created with a heavy- duty truck spring. Sales from tickets will benefit the Department of Human Services Child Wel- fare program’s foster par- ent and child fund. Money raised will wrangle in sup- port for special events for local foster parents and fos- ter kids, said Marvin Ham- ilton, a DHS certifier. “I thought adults would love one of these things,” Hamilton said. “It’s very sturdy and stable. I bounced around pretty good on it during the fair parade.” Hamilton made it with assistance from Jason Bremner, for the DHS float during the Umatilla County Fair parade. Ham- ilton named the creation Brando. It is painted to look like an Appaloosa. Created with metal work and fabrication, the rocking horse is about four feet long. The spring was donated by Hagerman Inc. in Umatilla. Raffle tickets are $5 each and can be purchased by asking for a DHS certi- fier at offices in Hermiston, Pendleton and Boardman. In addition, people can see Brando by stopping by the department’s fair booth this week at Eastern Oregon Trade and Event Center, 1705 E. Airport Road, Hermiston. Tickets are available for purchase in Booth 32 in EOTEC’s main building. Brando, Hamilton said, also will make an appear- ance during the Main Street Cowboys Dress Up Parade, which is Saturday, Sept. 8 at 10 a.m. in down- town Pendleton. The draw- ing will be held a week after that, he said. DHS Child Welfare, Hamilton said, is looking at hosting a winter event that offers foster families an opportunity to get out of the house and have fun. They envision providing food and bouncy houses, face painting, games and other indoor fun to help alleviate cabin fever during the cold winter months.
