This year’s theme is “Opening Doors.” “It’s fun, family-friendly and exciting,” said SFF Creative Director Brad Tisdel. He particularly urges people to come out Friday afternoon to enjoy the free offerings. “It’s an opportunity to get to know one another and celebrate the vibrancy of our community,” he said. “It’s fun, it’s connected, it’s dynamic.” Friday’s events commence with a 4 p.m. parade on Hood Avenue, where youth and adults alike show off their interpretations of the spirit of the event. Students from all three Sisters public schools participate. Donated artwork is dis- played on Friday evening in participating businesses dur- ing the My Own Two Hands Art Stroll. Many stroll loca- tions feature live music. Bidding in the silent auc- tion on the MOTH Common Canvas Art Project closes at 6 p.m. on Friday.

Friday’s festivities climax with a show at The Belfry at 7:30 p.m., featuring the roots/ Americana/rockabilly/coun- try/cowboy blues of Petunia and The Vipers.

SALEM (AP) — The strong economy is making it increasingly likely that Oregon’s kicker law will be triggered. T h e R e g i s t e r- G u a rd reports that would send hun- dreds of millions of dollars back to taxpayers, even as lawmakers contemplate cut- ting services to plug a $1.6 billion gap. The kicker law was cre- ated in 1979 as a check on government growth. It’s trig- gered when the state collects at least 2 percent more than anticipated during a two-year budget cycle. When that hap- pens, the additional money is kicked back to taxpayers. Personal income tax rev- enues beat projections by $208 million in the first three months of 2017. If that trend continues until the sum- mer, the kicker will likely be triggered. Oregon taxpayers last got their kicker in 2015, receiv- ing an average refund of $240. Before 2015, they had gone eight years without a rebate, due to the recession. Neighbors...
