Classic car show struts its stuff in Sisters Sisters
riders take
on grueling
BC event
By Jodi Schneider McNamee
Correspondent
From classic to eccentric,
creative works of automo-
tive art glistening of chrome
and steel lined both sides of
Main Avenue on Saturday for
the eighth annual Glory Daze
Car Show hosted by Sisters
Park & Recreation District
(SPRD).
Malt shop sounds of ’50s
and ’60s rock ‘n’ roll breezed
down the street while hun-
dreds of classic car enthu-
siasts checked out rows of
gleaming classics; from pick-
ups to roadsters to rat rods to
hot rods, there was some-
thing for everyone’s eye.
And it wasn’t too hard to
accommodate a record num-
ber of 145 classic cars on
Main Avenue with an extra
block closed off for the event.
Rob Meeter, SPRD pro-
gram manager, was on hand
at the registration booth set
up in front of Bank of the
Cascades.

“A friend of my dad’s

1985,” said Pease.
Sisters riders Joel and
Shawna Palanuk are no strang-
ers to grueling cycling events.
They shake off Central
Oregon’s biggest climbs, and
charge through technical sec-
tions on local trails. They put
in big rides, embody the true
spirit of cycling. This spirit
guided them to a new chal-
lenge, as the couple took on
one of the toughest mountain
biking events available: The
BC Bike Race, where they
took third in the final stage
and fourth place overall.
The BC Bike Race is a
seven-stage event held near
Vancouver, British Columbia.
It boasts seven days, 300 kilo-
meters of riding, and 10,000
meters of vertical ascent. It is
roundabout as well as pro-
posed management of the
construction traffic.
Farnsworth told the City
Council that actual construc-
tion is scheduled to begin in
February 2017 with comple-
tion by Memorial Day 2017
in order to limit the upset
to tourist traffic as much as
possible.
The construction will be
done in two main stages,
one on the east side of the
intersection and the other
on the west side. Weather,
of course, is the biggest fac-
tor in meeting the timeline

“The Forest Service has been
really good to us, and this is
a great opportunity. We get
great training — this is what
we do: demolition, carpentry,
and road work. It’s also great
