Wednesday, July 27, 2016 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon C O M M U N I T 3 Y Annual Country fair set to roll at church The Episcopal Church of the Transfiguration on Brooks Camp Road will host its 21st annual fair on August 13, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The juried art show will begin on Friday, August 12, from 5 to 8 p.m., featur- ing more than 40 famous Northwest artists. This year’s featured artist is Randall Tillery and the 2016 juror for the show is Curtiss Abbott. The show features diverse art provided by regional art- ists including oils, watercol- ors, pastels, photographs, sculptures, jewelry, native, and textile pieces. A silent auction on Friday night and Saturday includes donated gifts from artists, friends of the church and many Sisters businesses. Over the last few years this Country Fair and Art Show has become recognized as one of the most significant events in the Sisters commu- nity. The attraction is in part from the purpose and gener- osity of all those participat- ing, from the artists and vol- unteers to those who attend. All proceeds and dona- tions for this event are returned to the community through the church’s outreach See COuNtry FaIr on page 22 Jenee mohler with daughter Beth Garner at the Sisters arts & Crafts Festival.

Swarms of folks browsed by booths filled with original art from hand-carved wood- crafts to upcycled jewelry. Vendors Kim Black, from Pleasant Hill, and Gloria Davis, from Crooked River Ranch, are two artists that have combined their talents to create decorative pieces of art. Black is a pine-needle basket artist who has been making baskets and teaching classes for 30 years. Davis has been painting wildlife and Western-inspired art for 35 years. One of their collabo- rations, “War Ponies,” is an embellished gourd with coils of Apache pine needles which are sewn together with sinew made by Black. The painting of horses on the gourd with multiple layers of oil paint with a wood-burned back- ground was made by Davis. “We met at the Harvest Festival in Sisters a few years back,” Black said. “Then I took a couple of her classes in Crooked River Ranch,” Davis added. “We liked each other’s art, so we joined forces and blend the two together.” Event organizer Richard Esterman cruised around the festival making sure things went well for everyone. “It’s a great mix of art, plus I’ve brought in a lot of new vendors,” Esterman said. “I want people to come to Sisters to see a new variety of vendors, not the same old thing. The whole purpose is for the event to bring in more people to Sisters. This year we have added a new game called corn hole, a bean-bag- toss game. The games are always free for the public to play.” With such a variety of fine arts and crafts, there was something for everyone’s taste, including a few very unique items.
