File photo People flock to downtown Hermiston during a past Funfest. The festival, which the Hermiston Downtown District is reviving as Spudfest, is Saturday on and around Hermiston’s festival street. Downtown district digs in with Spudfest Festival includes free potatoes By TAMMY MALGESINI COMMUNITY EDITOR Hermiston’s longtime mid-summer festival is returning to its original roots. With the Hermiston Downtown District taking the reins of the mid-July event — in recent years it was called Funfest — they decided to revive the fam- ily-friendly festival known as Spudfest. While “fun” is no lon- ger a part of the festival’s name, Spudfest returns with lots of familiar and popular activities. The event is Saturday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in and around Hermiston’s down- town festival street area. Get there early — free bags of potatoes will be handed out while supplies last. “It was a great event to start with,” said Brandi Howard, Hermiston Downtown District vice president. “Also, of all the downtown functions, it’s the most family-driven one.” Spudfest features music, a variety of live entertainment, kids’ games and vendor booths (as of Monday, 50 had con- firmed). In addition, the Rotary Breakfast is at 7:30 a.m. (also downtown) and the 24th annual Cool Rides Car Show is being held at McKenzie Park. Highlighting the festi- val street is part of a col- laborative effort between the downtown business owners, the city of Herm- iston and the Hermiston Chamber of Commerce. Judy Pederson, president of the Hermiston Down- town District, said the idea is to continue to encourage more visitors to the Main Street area. The original SpudFest, which was organized by what was then known as the Downtown Hermis- ton Merchants Associa- tion, was held for about a decade, ending in 2000. Several years later, it was re-invented as Funfest. Howard, who also owns Andee’s Boutique, said with the Hermiston Cham- ber of Commerce stretched thin with staff changes and additional projects, it made sense for the Main Street businesses to take a more active role. “It really is a downtown event, so we stepped up,” Howard said. “We’re still working together with the chamber and the city. They have been so helpful.” In addition to the monthly First Thursday, other upcoming Hermis- ton Downtown District events include Umatilla County Fair Parade Kick- off (Aug. 3), Annual Side- walk Sale (Aug. 8), Mel- onFest (Aug. 17), Farm to Junk (Sept. 21) and Har- vest Fest (Oct. 5). Volunteers and vendors are needed for Hermiston Downtown District festi- vals. For more informa- tion, visit www.facebook. com/hermistondowntown or call 541-667-5026. City council votes to pursue local improvement district By JADE MCDOWELL NEWS EDITOR HERMISTON — The Hermiston City Council voted Monday to begin the process of pursuing a local improvement district that would pay for improve- ments to the South Herm- iston Industrial Park. The LID would cover neighboring properties along Campbell and Pen- ney drives, requiring them to pitch in to pay to pave the remainder of Campbell Drive, install water and sewer mains in the area and create what would essentially be a new road — called Southeast 10th Street — connecting East Penney Avenue to High- way 395 across from Bell- ingers. The road, which would create access to a piece of industrial land owned by the Port of Uma- tilla, only exists on paper right now. The city plans to pur- sue a federal grant to pay for about half of the proj- ect and the city and Uma- tilla County will contrib- uted a combined total of 10%, leaving property owners to contribute about 40% of the cost. Assistant city manager Mark Mor- gan said if the city fails to get the grant it does not plan to pursue the district after all. If 60% of affected property owners formally reject the plan before or during an Aug. 12 hearing it would also be blocked from going forward. On Monday no property own- ers expressed opposition and Port of Umatilla man- ager Kim Puzey expressed support. The city council also adopted a strategic plan Monday for the Eastern Oregon Trade and Event Center. Some of the pri- orities in the plan include securing water rights for the site, updating the over- all site plan, beautifica- tion, improving security, building storage and office space for the Umatilla County Fair, improving the RV park, adding a mul- tisports facility and devel- oping a marketing plan.
