Sign up now for
Sisters Little League
Registration is now open
for Sisters Little League’s
2016 season. Sisters youth
ages 4 to 14 can participate in
Little League. Registrations
are taken at Sisters Park &
Recreation District either over
the phone, online, or in person.
Registering your child
prior to February 29 saves
$10 on the registration fee
and allows each participant
the opportunity to access
open gym time twice per
week. Families who register
their child prior to the end of
February will also be allowed
to participate in the skills
camp held at the Bend Elks
indoor facility on March 12.
Cost to participate in Little
League ranges from $75
to $115 for the season, and
scholarships are available.
Since 2010 the Ian Ferguson
Memorial Scholarship Fund
has helped over 75 athletes
play baseball in Sisters. Little
League starts with T-ball for
children ages 4 to 6 and runs
through the juniors for kids
under 14. Approximately
125 girls and boys play
Little League in Sisters, and
the Ian Ferguson Memorial
Scholarship Fund has been
able to scholarship nearly 10
percent every year.
Ian “Fergie” Ferguson, a
standout athlete for the Sisters
Outlaws (1997) died in a
2009 car accident in Fresno,
California. Ian loved base-
ball and Little League, and a
scholarship fund was started
in his name. This special fund
is to be held for the exclusive
purpose of providing league
membership dues or equip-
ment to children in need that
would otherwise be unable to
play Little League baseball
for financial reasons.
“Ian was fun-loving, loyal,
hard-working, fair and hon-
est; these are the qualities we
hope to encourage by help-
ing kids from this community
participate in youth baseball,”
says sister Mary (Ferguson)
Dethlefs. “It’s hard to think
of someone who better repre-
sented the ideal character of
not only our town of Sisters,
but also youth sports.”

It’s still winter, but Sisters
Kiwanis is already think-
ing of Memorial Day week-
end and its annual Antiques,
Collectibles & “Bling” sale.
Kiwanis is asking residents to
make donations for the sale to
be held on Saturday, May 28,
at the Sisters Fire Hall.
Donations are requested
— antiques, collectibles and
jewelry of any kind (costume,
vintage, watches, rings, reli-
gious). Jewelry (aka “bling”)
was included in the sale for
the first time last year. Karen
Keady, the Kiwanian who
manages the jewelry sale,
noted that the 2015 bling
sale was a huge success, with
massive amounts of jewelry
donated and sold.
Jewelry and small boxes
can be dropped off to Karen
Keady at Essentials Salon,
492 E. Main Ave. (next to
The Nugget Newspaper office
and kitty-corner from Sisters
Library). You can arrange for
drop-off or pick-up of any
items, large or small, by call-
ing Dan at 805-235-6307 or
Roger at 541-430-7395.
All donations are fully
tax-deductible; Kiwanis will
provide donation receipts on
request.
The antique sale is a fund-
raiser for Sisters Kiwanis;
all proceeds are distributed
locally to service organiza-
tions such as Sisters Park &
Recreation District, Outlaw
Sports, Boy Scouts, Family
Access Network, the den-
tal van and many others.
Scholarships are also awarded
to high school students and
local residents making a
major career change. In the
past five years, sale pro-
ceeds have given more than
$20,000 to Sisters students
and organizations.
