The pre-registration deadline for open class exhibits for this year’s fair is July 24. Umatilla County Fair seeks strong showing from residents Open class registration deadline is July 24 By TAMMY MALGESINI COMMUNITY EDITOR The creativity of local residents is showcased during the Umatilla County Fair. People are invited to dis- play open class exhibits, including everything from baked goods, sewing proj- ects and hobby work to pho- tography, fine arts and vege- tables — and more. To highlight the fair theme — “Strong Roots & Cowboy Boots!” — many of the departments have a special fair theme category. It provides people with an opportunity to interpret the theme through a project or entry. While projects and entries aren’t due yet, exhib- itors must pre-register in order to be eligible for judg- ing and fair premiums. In addition to displaying their talents, exhibitors are eligi- ble to purchase one season pass for the discounted price of $20. The special pass can be purchased beginning Sunday, Aug. 4 at the fair office by providing the pink exhibitor’s tag. The open class pre-registration dead- line is Wednesday, July 24 by 5 p.m. In addition to the creative arts, open class entries — which are not a part of 4-H or FFA — are available for beef, dairy, sheep, Jackpot Lamb, goats and a variety of small animals. Registration forms are available www.umatilla- countyfair.net or at the fair office, located at Eastern Oregon Trade and Event Center, 1705 Airport Road, Hermiston. Also, local libraries offer computer use and internet access. The actual entries for most open class exhib- its need to be dropped off Sunday, Aug. 4 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the fair- grounds at EOTEC. Live- stock and small animals will be received Monday Aug. 5 from 7 a.m. to noon or 5-8 p.m. And, Jackpot Lamb are to be brought in Thurs- day, Aug. 8 from 7-10 a.m. Open class fair premi- ums will be paid Friday, Aug. 9 from 9:30 a.m. to noon and Sunday, Aug, 11 from 8 a.m. to noon at the fair office.

Doors open at 5 p.m. and music starts at 6 p.m. Local acoustic artists Dallin Puzey and Corey Peterson will open for Brewers Grade Band. Lead singer Zac Grooms of Hermiston said the band was excited to showcase “Northwest Country” music all written in the region. “It’s sort of a ‘buy local’ thing,” he said. “We’re proud our music originated in the northwest.” Brewers Grade Band was the International Music and Entertainment Association’s 2018 Coun- try Band of the Year, and band member Joe Smart is a Grammy award win- ner. They have collabo- rated with artists ranging from Paul Simon to the Zac Brown Band.

Veteran Expo comes to Pendleton The state of Oregon’s largest veteran resource event is being held in East- ern Oregon for the first time. Veteran Benefit EXPO19 is Saturday, July 27 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Pend- leton Convention Center, 1601 Westgate. There is no admission charge. Sponsored by the Ore- gon Department of Veterans Affairs, the event offers a sort of one-stop “shopping” experience. It will provide access to information about veterans benefits, including health care, disability com- pensation pension, busi- ness, burial, transportation, education, recreation, long- term care, records, identi- fication, home loans and more. It’s designed for Ore- gon veterans of all eras and walks of life. “One thing we hear from veterans year after year with this event is that they’re blown away by all the bene- fits and resources they never knew existed,” said ODVA director Kelly Fitzpatrick.

Irving will read from her works during the upcoming First Draft Writers’ Series. An Oregon Book Award winner, Irving will share Thursday at 7 p.m. at Pend- leton Center for the Arts, 214 N. Main St. After her presentation, there will be an open mic for local writ- ers to read from their work. Irving, who grew up as the daughter of a mission- ary in Haiti, wrote “The Gospel Trees.” Draw- ing from her parents’ jour- nals as well as her own, the memoir is the story of learn- ing to see, read and love — not just each other but Haiti. It’s described as “troubling, alive, defiant and tender.” Showcasing notable Pacific Northwest authors, First Draft Writers’ Series meets the third Thursday of each month.
