A generous community has provided many donated bikes.
Contact bike shop to
receive a donated bike
The annual Blazin Saddles
bike donation program has
brought in dozens of bicycles
ready to find a new home in
Sisters at Christmas time.
“Our amazing little com-
munity has outdone last year
with bike donations and we
have even more bikes to
donate to the community than
last year!” said Casey Meudt,
owner/operator of Blazin
Saddles.
The bikes are of all shapes
and sizes and not just for
kids. Part of the idea of the
program is to bring fam-
ily cycling within reach of
everyone in Sisters. Those
interested in receiving a
bike can send an email to
blazinsaddles@bendbroad
band.com or call the shop
at 541-719-1213. Specify
gender, age, height and first
name, last initial.
People can pick up bikes
December 20-24 (the shop
closes at 2 p.m. on Christmas
Eve). Each donated bike
comes with a brand-new
helmet.
Many high schools around
the nation have woodwork-
ing classes, but it’s hard to
find a school where a stu-
dent can learn homebuilding
skills. Sisters High School
has such a program under
the guidance of Tony Cosby,
and last week the construc-
tion students were out at the
Sisters Habitat for Humanity
jobsite putting up the walls
for future homeowner Becky
Conner.
“It’s a great opportunity.
Other schools don’t have
this kind of program and I’m
grateful we can learn these
skills,” Joseph Scholl said.
The house at the Village
Meadows neighborhood is
the sixth Habitat home to
have the walls built by the
construction students. The
construction class is held in
the fall each year and is open
to students who have already
taken beginning woodwork-
ing classes. Cosby gets the
house plans from Habitat’s
Made in Sisters with delicious
food & drink combinations:
Cheeses, Smoked Meats,
NW Craft Beer Growlers & More!

Construction Manager
Darleene Snider and the stu-
dents then get to work. The
wall-raising is the culmina-
tion of their hard work.
“The partnership with
Tony and his students has
been a great experience. So
many hands are involved
in helping families from
Sisters,” Snider said.
Cosby echoed those words
and is looking forward to
another wall-raising in 2018.
