Fire volunteers host
Easter egg hunt
Children from infants to
11 years of age are invited
to participate in the annual
Easter egg hunt co-sponsored
by the Sisters-Camp Sherman
and Cloverdale fire depart-
ments. The event will take
place on Easter Sunday, April
16 at 1 p.m. at the adjoin-
ing Creekside City Park and
campground.
The event will go off
regardless of weather. The
Easter Bunny will be present.
Parking is limited, so plan
to arrive early. Children wish-
ing to participate are asked to
be at the parks at 12:40 p.m.
so they can be divided into
the appropriate age groups.
Children are divided into the
following groups: Infant to
2 years old will be in the red
area; 3-5 years old will be in
the yellow area; 6-8 years old
will be in the blue area; and
9-11 years old will be in the
white area.
Be prompt, the eggs disap-
pear fast. There will be prizes
for golden eggs.

Campground gets an upgrade
By Ste Stafford
Correspondent
Things got pretty heavy
in Sisters last week with
the delivery of the new pre-
cast concrete restroom/
shower building to Creekside
Campground.
Three lowmax tractor/
trailers, each carrying a
75,000-pound section of the
building, rolled into town at
10 a.m. and, by 5:30 p.m.,
workers had hoisted the sec-
tions off the trucks and swung
them into place over the new
foundation and stubbed-in
plumbing, precisely hitting
their mark with all three
sections.
The restroom/shower
building, manufactured
by CXT of Spokane,
Washington, and trucked here
to Sisters, is the big brother
of the City’s other new rest-
rooms at Clemens, Fir Street,
and Village Green parks. The
buildings are constructed to
provide ease of assembly,
ease of maintenance, and
indestructability, making
them extremely cost-effective
in the long run.
The building comes fully
equipped with toilets, sinks,
showers, and light fixtures.
Plumbers will be hooking
up the bathroom fixtures
to the in-ground water and
sewer lines, and electricians
will hook up the lights and
hand-dryers.
The capacity of the build-
ing is almost double that
of the old building, as well
as being completely ADA
accessible. Both the men’s
and women’s sides have three
stalls rather than the previ-
ous two. The showers have
increased from two to four
and will accept either quar-
ters or tokens. There will be
a paved ADA path from the
restroom to the ADA camp-
site. The restrooms face
Creekside Park and showers
face the campground.
The three trucks were able
to maneuver through the trees
in the campground without
having to remove any trees,
and no trees were damaged in
the installation process.
