Belly dancing and Shakespeare
The Food Cart Garden at
Eurosports will host some-
thing a little out of the ordi-
nary for Quilt Show Week.
Sisters local Shey Samson
has been belly dancing for
several years and owns Tribal
Grace Belly Dancing Studio.
Two years ago she moved
to Sisters from San Diego,
where she performed at many
venues. Since moving here,
she’s been so busy teaching
that she hasn’t performed.
Tribal Fusion is belly
dancing, Bollywood, ballet,
Bahngra (Indian dance), jazz,
modern dance and hip-hop all
melded together.
Shey explains, “I changed
this type of dance into more
of storytelling type of dance
because it engages more with
people and helps me express
myself more.” Although you
might think a belly dancer is
an extrovert, Shey says, “I
used to have trouble socializ-
ing with people, but dancing
in this way helped me break
through that.”
Shey will incorporate fire-
dancing and fire-eating in her
show on Friday, July 8, from
5 to 7 p.m. She will dance to
prerecorded music and also
has a live drummer to accom-
pany her. This event is free
and dog/family friendly.
Shakespeare in the Park
has been a popular Sisters
event for many years. This
year the matinee has moved
to the Food Cart Garden.
Clinton K. Clark directs this
version of Shakespeare’s most
popularly performed tragedy,

• Sisters City Council
received five proposals from
Central Oregon law firms to
become the permanent city
attorney. At their workshop on
June 30, Council selected three
firms to interview on August
4. The current firms providing
legal counsel are temporary
until Council makes their per-
manent selection.
• Darcy Reed, associate
planner in the Community
Development Department,
was recently married and will
be leaving her position with
the City. She and her hus-
band are moving to the Paso
Robles, California, area where
they have both accepted new
positions. A replacement will
be hired, which could be a
difficult task in this booming
development market, when
many planners go to work as
private consultants. Because
of Oregon’s unique land-use
laws, the City is hoping to
recruit a planner with experi-
ence in Oregon.
• Joe O’Neill, city finance
manager, will be trading

offices at City Hall with
EDCO Manager Caprielle
Lewis. The move will put
O’Neill closer to the front of
the office and the staff mem-
bers with whom he regularly
works. Lewis’ move toward
the back will provide her with
more privacy for confidential
meetings with prospective
businesses.
• Interim City Manager
Rick Allen will be out of the
office the weeks of July 11 and
July 25. In his absence contact
City Recorder Kathy Nelson
541-323-5213 or knelson@
ci.sisters.or.us with any ques-
tions or concerns.
• Packets are available at
City Hall for any in-City resi-
dent who is interested in run-
ning in November for one of
three open City Council seats.
Perfected petitions are due at
City Hall by August 30, 2016.
• Quilt Show Week is here,
and the town is full of guests
from all over the U.S. as well
as from many foreign coun-
tries. Remember that Cascade
Avenue will be closed on
Saturday to vehicular traffic,
providing a large pedestrian
mall for our visitors.

The Sisters Artist Marketplace is
HAPPENING again this year on Friday and Saturday, July
8, 9 at 320-340 Cascade Ave., in the center of the City
of Sisters.
Even with the new 100-foot setback ordinance the City
of Sisters has adopted to create a business “Dead Zone”
along Cascade Avenue, intended to block “Fair Busi-
ness Competition” from “Locals & Outsiders,” due to the
concern of a very few local brick-and-mortar businesses
in town.
On the face of the few negative business-owners and
unfair local government, Central Oregon Shows is work-
ing harder and ever more determined to bring you, the
public, an even better OUTDOOR EVENT EXPERIENCE!!
On Friday, we kick off at noon with the “Cold War”
iconic symbol of entering into the Free World. The
“Checkpoint Charlie Bar” will be welcoming you on the
border of the “Dead Zone.” There will be a variety of
Arts, Crafts, Food and Live Entertainment. Friday it’s the
“Derek Michael Marc Double AA Band” and on
Saturday the “Anvil Blasters.”
There also will be a display from a private collection
of Dean and Mary Smith’s “Amazing Quilt Creations” in
memory of Sisters Country’s very own artists. This Sisters
Outdoor Experience is FREE TO THE PUBLIC.
Friday 7/8, Noon-7pm & Saturday 7/9, 9am-5pm
