Newspaper Page TextCOMMUNITY A4 • HERMISTONHERALD.COM Echo harvests fall fun with OktoberFest Kiwanis host Saturday fundraising event By TAMMY MALGESINI COMMUNITY EDITOR Food, drinks, scary movies, live music and kids’ activities (includ- ing pumpkin painting, thanks to a donation from Bellinger Farms) are all featured during Echo OktoberFest. The event serves as a fundraiser for the Echo Kiwanis Club. Presi- dent Michael Duffy said net proceeds will be used for community ser- vice efforts, such as the old St. Peter’s Catholic Church restoration fund and the scholarship grant awards program for local students. The OktoberFest cele- bration is Saturday begin- ning at 3 p.m. in down- town Echo. Pre-sale tickets are $20, which includes a $5 bonus token. They are available at H&P Cafe, Columbia Bank, Community Bank and Echo Ridge Cellars. Duffy encourages peo- ple to head to Echo ear- lier in the day and enjoy a variety of activities. A mule team taxi wagon will provide free transpor- tation around town during daylight hours. Visitors can take in the Echo Corn Maze and Pumpkin Patch or head to Echo Ridge Cellars. Also, prior to the festi- val, get a rare peek inside of the old Catholic church during an open house from noon to 2 p.m. at 33208 Marble St. Constructed in 1913, the St. Peter’s build- ing was de-consecrated in 1996 and donated to the Fort Henrietta Foundation by the Diocese of Baker. It was added to the National Register of His- toric Places on Aug. 28, 1997. After having sat empty for more than 20 years, in recent years vol- unteers with the Kiwanis and Fort Henrietta Foun- dation have made efforts to spruce up the structure. Beer, brauts, burgers and hot dogs will be plen- tiful during Echo Okto- berFest. Also, Pepsi prod- ucts and Echo Ridge wines will be available. Standard Deviation, a La Grande-based band, will crank things up from 6:30-9:30 p.m. They play a variety of classic blues, rock and country music. The evening also fea- tures a rafﬂ e, silent auc- tion and baked goods sale — all under tents with campﬁ res. “Rain or shine, it’s a great time for getting together,” Duffy said.

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 16, 2019 Artist sculpts creativity with pumpkins By TAMMY MALGESINI COMMUNITY EDITOR A Willamette Valley transplant will carve some fun at a couple of upcoming events at Bellinger Farms and Gourmet Shoppe, and the Echo Corn Maze & Pumpkin Patch. Roger Pope is a profes- sional pumpkin sculptor. The Boardman man recently was hired as the graphics and media producer for the Hermis- ton School District. He previously Pope lived in Dal- las, Oregon, where he owned his own graphic design company. He will sculpt pump- kins Saturday beginning at 10 a.m. at Bellinger’s, 1823 S. Highway 395, Hermis- ton. There is no admission charge. Also, he will be at the Echo Corn Maze Satur- day, Oct. 26 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., 100 Dupont St. Pope, who graduated from Dallas High School, was voted most creative and most artistic his senior year. Before he even turned the tassel, Pope sold two logos to two separate companies. He went on to study visual communications at The Art Institute of Seattle. “I was just one of those kids that was drawing all the time,” Pope said. “I’d doo- dle on anything I could get my hands on.” Participating in fam- Photo contributed by Victoria Rose Roger Pope created this pumpkin sculpture earlier this month at the Echo Corn Maze and Pumpkin Patch. He will showcase pumpkin sculpting at Bellinger Farms and Gourmet Shoppe (Oct. 19) and Echo Corn Maze and Pumpkin Patch (Oct. 26). ily pumpkin-carving activ- ity with his kids eventually morphed into becoming a professional pumpkin sculp- tor. While working on a graphic design project for Bauman’s Farm and Gar- den in Gervais, he inquired about doing pumpkin carv- ing during their fall festi- val. In addition to pumpkins, Pope also has participated in snow and sand sculpting. “All three are temporary forms of art — one melts away, one washes away and one rots away,” he said. Pope uses clay sculpt- ing tools when performing his craft. He said while he’s not particularly picky about his “canvas,” he does need to ﬁ nd a pumpkin that’s not really hard or too soft. Pope also encourages people to try the art form. “When you see the tech- nique, you’re just scrap- ing away a little at a time,” he said. “It’s a lot safer than pumpkin carving tools — it’s easier and safer to use clay sculpting tools.” “He is just so creative,” said Victoria Rose, who notiﬁ ed the Hermiston Her- ald about his upcoming events. “He has a passion for sharing his art with others to inspire them.” Pope doesn’t sell his pumpkin sculptures. His main purpose in creat- ing them is to share the art form with others. Mar- leaux Scaggs said Bellinger Farms will sell rafﬂ e tickets for $1 each for a chance to win Pope’s creation. They will donate the proceeds to Agape House. For more information about the events, call Bell- inger’s at 541-567-5870 or text/call the Echo Corn Maze at 509-528-5808.
