Jeanette Pilak, volunteer coordinator for Harmony Farm Sanctuary (HFS), and Cisco, a rescued mini horse that lives at HFS, fol- lowed behind the rustic trailer full of kids and HFS animals. Harmony Farm Sanctuary is a nonprofit built to create a safe place for rescued and rehabilitated animals with a forever home. Many of the animals serve as therapy for youth, teens, adults, and seniors. “We want our community to see these ani- mals and how happy they are and how they have a forever home at HFS,” Pilak said. “They are the goodwill ambassadors for the sanctuary.” GW Campbell from Tumalo was having fun entertaining the spectators with trip rop- ing along Hood Avenue. “I founded the first cowboy church back in the 1970s at the Sisters Rodeo,” he said. “The others are gone now so I’m still carrying the tradition of cowboy evangelist.” Campbell has made it to the Sisters Christmas Parade for the past 42 years.

Some of the friendly canines are show dogs, working, rescue and therapy dogs and a few were in training. Faran, an eight-month-old golden retriever puppy was rescued from China, des- tined to be put down; he’s now going through obedience and therapy training just like his older brother Griffin did. Both are owned by Jennifer Boley. 2017 Sisters Rodeo Queen Emylia Breckel and her horse Casper looked regal in their attire as they rode down the street. “Sadly, this is our final outing as the 2017 royal court,” Breckel said. “It’s been an amaz- ing summer and I wish I could be the queen again, but our time has come to a close. We love the community of Sisters and are so happy to be here and blessed to have been able to represent the city this past year.” Breckel served as the Deschutes County Rodeo Queen for 2017. She is a Mountain View High School and Baker Charter School graduate who hopes to pursue an education in the medical field. Sisters residents and visitors had more spe- cial events to enjoy after the festivities of the parade on Hood Avenue. Santa Claus made his way to the Chamber of Commerce Visitors Center to meet and have his photo taken with enthusiastic kids of all ages. Excludes OTC & Rx S ISTERS D RUG & G IFT 211 E.
