Old time musicians to fi ddle around in Hermiston
By TAMMY MALGESINI
COMMUNITY EDITOR
For some toe-tappin’ tunes, area
senior citizens won’t want to miss a
performance by the Blue Mountain Old
Time Fiddlers.
Those who attend can enjoy the
music or kick up their heels on the
dance fl oor as part of a fundraiser at
the Harkenrider Senior Activity Cen-
ter. The event, which is open to ages 60
and over, is Saturday at 6 p.m. at 255
N.E. Second St., Hermiston. The cover
charge is $5 per person.
Also, people are invited to come
early for a spaghetti dinner, with 100
percent of the proceeds going to the
senior center. The meal will be served
up beginning at 5 p.m. The fee for the
dinner also is $5.
The Blue Mountain Old Time Fid-
dlers Association is committed to the
preservation of traditional music. Per-
formances by the association are as
varied as the members — who hail
from all across the region. While most
of the musicians reside in Eastern Ore-
gon, some of the members are scattered
throughout the Pacifi c Northwest and
beyond.
In other Harkenrider Senior Activ-
ity Center news, Judy Fordice said
the building has regular open hours.
