8 Wednesday, November 9, 2016 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon Film screening tackles childhood trauma Cascade Trailstop Market opens in Sisters By Jim Cornelius News Editor There is a new stop on the trail through downtown Sisters. Cascade Trailstop Market opened in the space adjacent to the downtown Shell sta- tion last week, offering con- venience shopping for local folks and travelers passing through. The market is the endeavor of Drew Herburger and Erin Chapman. Both have a food-services background. Chapman had worked in the field before taking a desk job, and Herburger is the son of Melvin Herburger, who owns Melvin’s Fir Street Market. Opening their own market was a natural pro- gression for the soon-to-be- married couple. “It kind of came about when I got tired of sitting behind the desk all day,” Chapman told The Nugget. She and Herburger brain- stormed ideas and decided to open a market that would not be as seasonal as other food- related businesses tend to be — and the space right on Cascade Avenue in the heart of town seemed perfect. It already had a kitchen, so they are able to offer hot meals as well as traditional conve- nience grab-and-go items. They’re offering a cou- ple of hot-food options now and will expand the options as their capacity grows. And Chapman says that, “We’re totally open to any suggestions.” That goes for all the prod- ucts they offer, Herburger noted.

In the summer, they plan to have some outdoor seating and offer options cooked on an outdoor grill. The couple is looking to fill a niche in the mar- ket, offering grab-and-go convenience, some guilty pleasures and some healthy options. They’re also going to expand a camping supply section — so that it really is a trailstop for folks head- ing into or out of the Sisters backcountry. Drew points out that the market has a Cycle Town Coffee exclusive, so they’re offering something a little different in a town that has lots of coffee options. Herburger also has a small section devoted to his non- profit charity organization, Pretty Awesome Gamers. He and Chapman provide expenses-paid trips for ter- minally ill children to Comic Con events where they can immerse themselves in their superhero fantasies. The store will accept donations and sell Totally Awesome Gamers merchandise, which Nelson Horse Waterers Install • Repair Year-round Parts & Service miller I R R I G A T I O N 541-388-0190 LCB#8234 Convenience Store Featuring Cycle Town Coffee “Your stop before and after the trail” Fill up your gas tank for 10% off any purchase inside Cascade Trailstop Market!

While they expect plenty of traffic from people pass- ing through town or visiting for a few days, Chapman notes that “we’re hoping for locals. That’s who we want to cater to.” Cascade Trailstop Market will be open a little later than the usual roll-up-the-side- walks time in Sisters so that people can grab a bite after a game or before heading over the pass. The market is, after all, a stop on the trail. Sisters School District will host the screening of the documentary “Resilience,” onThursday, December 1, at 6:30 p.m. at Sisters High School auditorium. The event is free to the public. The film is not recommended for younger audiences; the film is not rated; 60-minute run- ning time.
