This is an opportunity to sample local craft beer and support the organization that keeps local trails in tip-top shape for hiking, biking or horse- back riding. Three Creeks Brewing Co. is renowned as a gate- way to Central Oregon’s beer and adventure, as they pursue crafting classic Northwest beers.

Studio tour to feature 12 local artists By Helen Schmidling Correspondent Have you ever wanted to try your hand at throwing a pot, or color your world with pastels on paper? Maybe you’ve always wanted to see how a sculptor works on a large piece of art, what it takes to turn sheets of glass into fine art, or how an artist creates “knitting stitches” in paintings. Sisters Arts Association celebrates Sisters’ commu- nity of artists at its first Artist Studio Tour, Saturday, July 29, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. This is a first for the Sisters Arts Association, and the artists are all getting ready for the event. The artists will welcome you into their homes and studios with light refreshments. The tour includes painters, potters, jewelers, glass artists, photographers, and sculptors. Meet the artists and view their work, up-close-and-personal. It is a family-friendly event, so children are welcome. This is an opportunity to talk with fine artists in their home environments – and to see their creative process. Featured artists are Paul Alan Bennett (painting, from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. only); Clarke Berryman (oil paint- ing); JoAnn Burgess (pas- tel); Gary Cooley (bronze See STUDIO TOUR on page 4 SISTERS AREA MEETING CALENDAR BOARDS, GROUPS, CLUBS Central Oregon Fly Tyers Guild 4th Saturdays, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. For location information: 541-549-2072.
