ODOT representative Gary
Farnsworth reported to
Council that, despite win-
ter weather delays, the con-
tractor on the project, Knife
River, has been very efficient
in keeping the project on
schedule. The Highway 20/
Barclay roundabout has been
carefully planned and exe-
cuted because it is the first
one in the state on a major

plans for it to be opera-

Sisters Stampede
race seeks volunteers
The Sisters Stampede
mountain bike race needs
volunteers. From Thursday
through Monday of Memorial
Day weekend, the Stampede
has positions for any level of
involvement, from race day
to post-race-day cleanup and
restoration.
The Stampede is known
for it’s small-town hospital-
ity, it’s quality of course,
and the friendly faces which
support the event. The cross-
country mountain bike race
brings in over 500 cyclists,
families, and spectators to
enjoy the Peterson Ridge trail
system on May 27 and 28.
The event is a season kick-
off for local business, lodg-
ing, and dining. It has solidi-
fied the work of the Sisters
Trails Alliance in developing
the Peterson Ridge Trail as a
beacon on a mountain biker’s
radar for a fast, fun, and flow-
ing singletrack.
The Sisters community
is a place where the locals
take ownership in the key-
stone events as volunteers
and helpers. Whether it’s the
Stampede, the Rodeo, Quilt
Show, or Folk Fest there
is a tremendous amount of
work that goes on beneath
the surface of the event.
The Stampede is no excep-
tion. With proceeds going
back to SPRD and STA, the
Stampede gives directly to
the community.
If you would like to vol-
unteer, email volunteer@

Civil War coming to Sisters Country
Folks in Sisters Country
can step through a portal in
time to catch a glimpse of
life during the greatest crisis
in American history — the
Civil War of 1861-65.

reenactment weekend set at
Camp Sherman, there will be
demonstrations of everything
from blacksmithing to 19th

This “living history” is
open to the public at the
House on Metolius meadow,
just north of Camp Sherman,
Oregon.
For two days, reenactors
present living conditions
and circumstances of 1863
America. The public min-
gles with the civilians and
military dressed in authentic
clothing. Various presenta-
tions and activities take place
throughout the day starting
Saturday morning, May 20.
Parking opens at 9 a.m.,
then the morning parade and
drill commences. Camp pre-
sentations including black-
smithing and mail delivery.
Medical practices and a war
correspondent (reporter) are

sutler (supplier) tent is open
for business selling all sorts
of Civil War-era literature,

forms and weapon reproduc-
tions. One can meet the cav-
