Heppner St Paddy’s Parade & Cruz in

rbdorran — Mon, 07 Mar 2011 02:01:06 +0000

Join R.B. and Kris Dorran at the Heppner St Paddy’s Cruz in on March 19th starting at 11am. We will meet just outside of town with the other car show attendees. Everyone will then parade through downtown Heppner ending at a special parking lot set aside for the car show. This is a great small town affair with lots of activities. Usually on our way out of town we stop to see the Sheep Dog Trials going on in field on the road out of town. If you’ve never been to one of these it’s really interesting to see the beautiful and well trained dogs. There is always a friendly group of contestants who are happy to explain the rules as you watch.

We will be meeting here:

This Saturday, October 3rd, 2009, there will be a celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Corvair. In cooperation with McCurley Chevrolet in Pasco, WA, we will be having a small gathering of Corvairs on the front row of their lot. 8:00am is the scheduled opening time, we don’t know how long we will be there, but probably at least through the early afternoon. Come by and share memories and looks at one of the most unique cars ever produced in the US.
Edit: see the map below for the location and driving directions.
Note that at this time US-395 Northbound over the Blue Bridge between Kennewick and Pasco is closed due to construction. You will need to use an alternate route such as taking Gum St. over the Cable Bridge or taking SR-240 west to I-182 East.
