Umatilla County Fair seeks
strong showing from residents
Open class registration
deadline is July 24

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

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. After Aug. 11,
unclaimed premiums under

general fund. Unclaimed

mailed to the address pro-
vided at registration.

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.

Oregon Book
Award winner
to headline
First Draft
Apricot A. 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. For more infor-
mation, call 541-278-9201
