Economically               supported               by               agriculture,               food               processing               industries,               utilities               and               light               manufacturing               industry               Hermiston               is               a               transportation               center               both               for               locally               based               trucking               companies               and               as               an               interline               hub               for               national               trucking               companies.

Hermiston               is               one               of               those               places               where               you               can               combine               country               living               with               sophisticated               urban               activities.

Martha               Stewart               would               probably               call               Hermiston               "a               good               thing",               or               maybe               she               would               say               it               more               like               the               locals               do;               "its               just               a               good               place               to               live".

The               cost               of               living               is               reasonable,               even               low               compared               to               many               other               areas.

It's               a               good               place               to               live,               work               and               retire.

There               are               beautiful               assisted               living               facilities               with               private               apartments               and               recreational               activities.
               Community               pride               is               often               mentioned               when               talking               about               living               in               small               towns,               and               Hermiston               has               that               pride               in               the               schools               and               sports               teams               that               make               community               pride               vibrant               in               town.

For               a               demonstration               of               that               pride               mosey               up               Main               Street               to               the               East               Side               Market.

The               proprietor               is               a               fierce               Bulldogs               fan               and               the               boys               (working               men)               who               gather               in               the               morning               for               coffee               and               donuts               in               the               market's               social               space               discuss               the               plays               from               previous               night's               games               with               insight,               passion               and               humor.
               Small               town               spirit               means               different               things               to               different               people;               but               to               me               the               spirit               of               a               small               town               can               be               mean,               standoffish,               carefree,               caring,               or               convivial.

Any               number               of               personality               types               can               define               the               small               town               spirit.

To               define               Hermiston's               spirit               takes               a               bit               of               looking               back               at               how               the               people               in               town               reacted               to               the               events               of               the               past               few               years.

From               personal               tragedies'               like               cancer,               house               fires,               economic               hardships,               loss               of               loved               ones               to               major               national               disasters               like               the               September               11               terror               attacks               and               the               dual               hits               of               the               Hurricanes               Katrina               and               Rita               the               people               in               this               town               respond               with               giving,               nurturing,               teams               of               volunteers               and               helpers               and               the               collecting               of               funds,               and               blood               drives.

Our               National               Guard               unit               proudly               serves               this               area               and               this               nation               and               has               just               returned               from               the               front               in               the               war               on               terror.

I               think               these               things               are               the               basis               of               our               small               town               spirit               but               only               the               beginning.

Following               that               very               solid               foundation               is               the               festival               spirit               that               hosts               the               Umatilla               County               Fair               every               year               in               August,               the               Cinco               de               Mayo               Festival               in               May,               and               annual               treks               to               Portland               by               the               Mayor               for               a               Watermelon               seed               spitting               contest               with               Portland's               Mayor               to               celebrate               our               famous               watermelons.

There               are               parades,               the               December               festival               of               lights,               live               nativity               scenes               at               area               churches,               crowds               of               laughing               school               children,               a               few               fights,               the               requisite               taverns,               and               family               restaurants.

I               would               say               the               small               town               spirit               here               is               healthy,               rollicking,               nurturing               and               growing.
               What               exactly               is               it               like               to               actually               live               in               Hermiston?

Let               me               offer               some               vignettes               that               illustrate               several               aspects               of               Hermiston               life.
