wine & cheese 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.

tact Hamilton at 541-567-
