Wednesday, January 20, 2016 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon
Science Fair gearing up Gingerbread trail winners announced
The fifth annual Sisters
Science Fair will be held
Saturday, February 20 from
noon until 4 p.m. at Sisters
High School. The theme for
this year’s fair is “Outdoor
Science” and there will be
plenty of exhibits, demon-
strations and contests to keep
everyone from all ages busy
and engaged.
“We have an extensive
variety of exciting experi-
ments and displays from all
three Sisters schools, commu-
nity businesses, universities
and statewide organizations,”
said Cal Allen, director of the
Sisters Science Fair. “The
Science Fair continues to
grow every year, and every-
one who attends is amazed at
the diversity. There’s always
a “gee-whiz” excitement
with plenty to appeal to every
attendee.”
Healthy living and green
energy programs will have
displays from greenhouse
gardening to organic veg-
etables in the Seed-To-Table
program. The planetarium
will be set up and students,
teachers, and astronomy vol-
unteers will be on hand to
explain the night sky. A 3-D
printer will be set up to aston-
ish your imagination with
fascinating possibilities of
this new technology.
Mousetrap cars will fill
the gym for the popular
Design, Construct, Compete
(DCC) contest. Anyone can
enter and the challenge is
to build a mousetrap car.
Entrants must build a device
that runs — and stops —
using only mousetrap power.
It’s sure to present both sci-
entific marvels and lots of
entertainment.
If you’re interested in
entering your own mouse-
trap car, registration forms
can be downloaded from the
Sisters Science Club website
at www.sistersscienceclub.
org. Registration forms along
with the $25 deposit (refund-
able at the competition) are
due by February 5.
Rules and registration
forms for the popular Science
Fair SciArt contest are
also available at the Sisters
Science Club website, and
entries must be submitted no
later than February 12.
The Sisters Science
Fair is free and open to the
public.
Cascade Street Distillery
was the people’s choice
winner for the 9th Annual
Sisters Habitat for Humanity
Gingerbread Trail event.
Customers dropped more
than $500 into the donation
house at the distillery location
at 261 W. Cascade Ave. The
distillery gingerbread barn
fit right into Sisters Country
with its shredded wheat roof
and graham cracker barn
doors.
Katie Beasley from
Cascade Street Distillery
said she and her cousins
made the gingerbread house
and they were happy to sup-
port such a great program in
Sisters. This is the first year
that Cascade Street Distillery
has participated in the event,
and Beasley said they look
forward to participating next
year.
Coming in second was
Ray’s Food Place with their
big gingerbread village. Third
place went to U.S. Bank. That
gingerbread house was made
to look like the house from
the Disney movie “UP” and
it included the balloons rising
out of the roof.
