Sisters will
‘soast the srails’
Sisters outdoor enthusi-
asts can connect with fel-
low hikers, mountain bikers
and equestrians at the Sisters
Trails Alliance (STA) Toast
the Trails event at Three
Creeks Brewing Co.’s tasting
room on Thursday, August 3
from 5 to 7 p.m.
STA is partnering with
Three Creeks Brewing Co. to
offer tastings, tours and door
prizes for anyone interested
in networking with trail users
or learning more about craft
beer, brewing and STA. 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. Three Creeks Brewing
has never been one to fol-
low trends, but to tena-
ciously blaze their own
trail.
STA is a nonprofit orga-
nization whose mission is

a tremendous success,”
Esterman said.
Wide assortments of col-
lectable antiques were on dis-
play in booths from glassware
to rare vintage dolls. Mixed
in the huge treasure chest that
overflowed across the park
lawns were an array of crafts
from hand-crafted pottery to
unique birdhouses.
New vendor Sherry
Taylor from Kentucky dis-
played rows of hand-designed
wooden bowls, cake stands,
platters and cutting boards.

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
