(North Powder, Oregon) Ethel Laurence, a resident of La Grande, Oregon, knew exactly what she wanted to do for her birthday. Turning 83 years young January 23, 2010, Ethel told her daughter visiting from Portland area, she wanted to visit the elk. That is exactly what she did!
“I had been wanting to see these elk, but couldn’t find anyone to take me”, relayed Ethel. Her daughter continued, “There was really only one thing she wanted to do for her 83rd birthday, and that was come see these elk and meet the horses.”
This past Saturday, T&T Wildlife Tours were able to make Ethel’s birthday wish come true. Located just west of North Powder at the Anthony Creek feeding site, T&T offers tours every weekend through the end of February. “We were so happy to meet Ethel, and learn that we were part of her birthday wish,” commented Susan Triplett, co-owner of T&T Wildlife Tours. Triplett continued, “It was a beautiful, mild weather day, and both the elk, along with Waylan and Jed – the horses - were happy to meet her.”
Miss Laurence summed up her experience by saying, “I hope it becomes an annual birthday event!”
