Edgar Allan Poe
plays The Belfry
America’s master of mania
and the macabre — and origi-
nal literary bad boy — is alive
again and is primed to thrill
and intrigue audiences.
The year is 1848 and
Edgar Allan Poe, author of
“The Raven,” “The Tell-Tale
Heart,” and “The Premature
Burial” is touring the coun-
try giving recitations of some
of his most beloved tales and
poems — that is, if he can
keep his own horrors and
demons in check long enough.
Join Edgar Allan Poe at
The Belfry on October 13 for
an evening of fun, thrills, and
poetry as he performs the sto-
ries and poems that have made
him a true literary immortal.
Mad men, murderers, black
cats, and, of course, the raven
are sure to be on the menu.
The evening of dinner the-
ater is built around a commu-
nity meal. The event is sched-
uled to run 6 to 8:30 p.m.
“It’s pretty exciting. We’re
going to serve family-style
dishes and the performance
piece with dessert,” said
Angeline Rhett, the hostess of
the evening.
Oregon actor Alastair
Morley Jaques has appeared
on stages all along the West
Coast in the character of Edgar

Harvest Faire set
to roll in new venue
One of Sisters’ longest-run-
ning events has a new home.
The Sisters Harvest Faire is
set for Saturday and Sunday,
October 10-11 from 10 a.m.
to 4 p.m. both days. The
event will be located on Main
Avenue, one block north of
Cascade Avenue. The location
includes Fir Street Park, offers
plenty of parking and the same
extensive and unique shop-
ping that makes this event a
tradition.
More than 175 juried arti-
san vendors will be present
selling quality handcrafted
items including pottery, metal
art, photography, painting,
jewelry, clothing, furniture,
home décor, specialty foods
and much more.
The event is sponsored
and staged by the Sisters Area
Chamber of Commerce.
For years people from
all over Oregon and the
Northwest have converged on
Sisters to celebrate the chang-
ing of the seasons with this
festival of handmade artisan
goods and food. The annual
Harvest Faire boasts hands-
on activities, educational
opportunities, great food, and
good old-fashioned fun not

Kiwanis elects new officers
The Sisters Kiwanis Club
installed a new president and
slate of officers on September
27. Suzanne Carvlin assumes
the president’s role for the
next year.
“It is an honor to lead the
Sisters Kiwanis club and its
75 members,” Carvlin said.
“Our club has been a driving
force for good in our com-
munity for 36 years. One of
my main goals is continuing
work focused on our club
mission: to support our com-
munity with an emphasis
on children and youth. I’m
proud to belong to a group
that embraces both men and
women who serve our com-
munity. It’s noteworthy that
Kiwanis International just
elected the first female presi-
dent, ever, of a global service
organization.”
Jan Failing was honored
as Kiwanian of the Year for
her five years as club secre-
tary, her work in the dental
van and countless volunteer
hours on many club services
and projects.
2015 is the 100th birthday
of Kiwanis International and,
to help celebrate, Kiwanis
created the Centennial Award,
which honors members with
commitment and service to
the Kiwanis mission. Tom
Worcester was honored with
a Centennial Award for his 25
years of extraordinary service
to Sisters Kiwanis.
Shirley Lalli was hon-
ored with a Walter Zeller
Fellowship awarded by
Kiwanis International to
members who served The
Eliminate Project with dis-
tinction. Eliminate is an inter-
national effort by Kiwanis
and UNICEF to “eliminate”
maternal and neonatal tetanus
worldwide.
Kiwanis officers for the
coming year include Carvlin,
D o u g Wi l l i s , R o x a n n e
Lenahan and Jack McGilvary.
Members of Sisters
Kiwanis contribute to the
Sisters community in a vari-
ety of ways. In the past year,
the group:
• Operated the Sisters
Food Bank that distributed
food to hundreds of people,
with no paid staff.
• At Christmas, the food
bank gave food vouchers to
75+ families that allowed
these families to have a tradi-
tional Christmas dinner.
• Sisters Kiwanis made a
significant financial contribu-
tion to The Eliminate Project.
• Kiwanis donated funds
