We at Hood Avenue Art
were so happy to host such
great art from our Sisters
High School artists. The
people’s choice awards went
to Sydney Rawlins for 3D
and Tessa O’Hern for 2D.
The Sisters Art Association
gave two $50 gift certifi-
cates to Alpenhimmel for
the artists to use for art
supplies.

A big thank-you to
The Fly Fisher ’s Place,
Jeff and Tina Perin, plus
10 more, who flew nearly
9,000 miles to the impover-
ished Christmas Island and
brought clothing and school
supplies. It could have
been just a fishing trip, but
they made it into a time of
sharing.

Such a beautiful vision
and determined diligence by
our own Ashley and Aaron
Okura, we saw a transforma-
tion and much loved revival
of our own hometown’s
Sisters Saloon.
Our Sisters hearts blew
up with the grand re-
opening and renovation.
The hospitality offered by
this authentic and clas-
sic Western hotel is a place
where families can come
together. Sisters Saloon and
Ranch Grill brings back the
true spirit of Sisters.
Our entire town, in one
effort, came together in sup-
port: Costumes from our
Miss Sew It All (Marsha
Mar), dancers from the
Central Oregon School of
Ballet, plus charity rehearsal
space provided by Tate
and Rebekah at the Sisters
Athletic Club! We even had
our local piano man Timothy
Draxler show off his talent
on a locally provided upright
piano.
It was a gathering of
elated Sisters alumni never
before seen.
I grew up with Ashley
(Reed) Okura here in Sisters,
carpooling to ballet. To have
her give me the opportunity
to come back to my home-
town, full circle and perform
for her and see the camara-
derie of our town is enough
to keep me smiling forever.
The love and hospitality
shown by this town is why
we all just can’t help but
keep coming back.
Thank you!
