PARADE: Event kicks off Sisters’ holiday season
— Continued from page 1 —

Sherman Rural Fire Protection District, which
has served the Sisters community for 80 years.
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.

Harmony Farm Sanctuary was well represented.
joining in the holiday festivities. The specta-
tors cheered when Winterland Tail Waggers
walked by with wagging tails. 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.

Blazin Saddles
Blazin Saddles bicycle shop is putting the joys
of cycling in the reach of all through a holiday
season bike-donation program! Drop a bike
donation off at the shop on the corner of Hood
and Pine between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. seven days
a week until December 15. Regardless of size,
type; if you have a bike in decent-or-better
condition, Blazin Saddles will get the bikes
running safely and into the hands of a Sisters
resident who could use a bike this holiday season.
It’s not just for kids, either. Blazin Saddles, working with Sisters Fire Department,
Sisters School District and Habitat for Humanity, is looking to make family cycling available
to everyone in town.
Call 541-719-1213 or email blazinsaddles@bendbroadband.com for more info.
Blazin Saddles is also a great place to put check-marks on your list next to the names of all
the cyclists you’re shopping for.
