“We figure that, at 75

the youngest winners,” said
Mathews.

The Sisters Library Annual
Art Exhibit presented its
People’s Choice Awards at
a reception at the library on
Friday evening.
As the names of four
award-winners were
announced, from the far cor-
ner, by the shelved books on
hold, came a sudden round of
celebratory back-slapping and
general excitement.

old retired art teacher and
counselor, and his young

Sisters Farmers Market
lost more than money in
2017. Following a smoke-
choked year, all three of its
co-managers have announced
their resignations. Carys
Wilkins and Benji Nagel plan
to focus on their farm and
their newborn baby, while
Angelena Bosco expands her
cooking classes and entrepre-
neur day camps.
The market is looking for
an energetic new manager
willing to work as a volun-
teer, with the possibility of a
cash stipend.
Vendors experienced an
unusually strong early sea-
son, especially considering
the market had moved. With
its beautifully wrought band
shell stage and water play
area, Fir Street Park proved
an excellent new location.
Local naturopathic doctor
Kim Hapke, for example,
enjoyed bringing her young
son, noting that the splash
pad made market days “even
more exciting for him and
relaxing for me.”
Then came the 24,000-
acre Milli Fire, and with it,
weeks of thick smoke.
“The town was dead,”
Wilkins recalled. “It was
really sad. The last market of
the season had four vendors;
we started out the year with
18.”
As a first-time vendor,
Josie Johnson of Josie’s Best
Gluten Free Mixes said the
market was worth it finan-
cially despite the smoke. She
noticed the market was “very
well organized. Carys and I
were both pregnant for the
majority of the season, so we
had fun sharing that experi-
ence. Angelena is always
supportive and helpful.”
To Johnson, the market is
a community phenomenon:
“Shopping at local farmers
markets not only gets the
freshest food for the custom-
ers; it is putting money right
back into their community.”
Nagel graduated from
Sisters High School in 2006
and left town for new expe-
riences. He returned seven
years later with his partner
Wilkins, both of whom had
worked at farmers markets
and on farms.
“I didn’t realize what
a cool and unique and
