Wednesday, June 6, 2018 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon Sisters gets musical for rodeo Music and rodeo fit like a custom saddle on a horse. This week, multiple Sisters establishments are serving up music entertainment to round out the rodeo experience for fans and locals. Hardtails Bar & Grill is kicking things off on Wednesday night, June 6, with the return of the acclaimed country duo Love and Theft. “We’re just excited to have them back,” said owner Steve Macey, noting that travel from Nashville and other commitments make accommodating a Pacific Northwest gig a big deal for the outfit. Love and Theft are touring on the strength of their third album, entitled “Whiskey On My Breath.” The album marks a signifi- cant creative statement for the two singer-songwriter- guitarists, whose résumé already includes a long series of career highlights. The new collection finds the pair stripping their sound down to its essence, with spare, largely acoustic arrange- ments that focus squarely on their impassioned perfor- mances and distinctive vocal chemistry. The party continues Thursday through Saturday with The Rowdy Vegas Boys — and an opportunity to test your skills on a mechanical bull. Moon Mountain Ramblers LETTERS Continued from page 2 next-to the-nth-gen) TSP. This Memorial Day weekend exempli- fies the issue, with bumper-to-bumper traffic through (and beyond) town. A few comments/suggestions: • If you can, bike to/around town. • Couple big signs at each end of Cascade Avenue: “Stop for pedestrians, but for God’s sake don’t stop in the intersection.” • At every cross-walk (maybe on the rect- angular pads in the bulb-outs): “Stand here to cross,” or “Act like you want to cross,” or SOMETHING. • The bike shops (and parents) in town might want to educate their patrons that a per- son on a bike is just another vehicle; a person walking a bike is a pedestrian. will serve up the acoustic Americana that has made them one of Central Oregon’s favorite bands at Sisters Saloon on Wednesday, June 6. Through the weekend, Sisters Saloon welcomes back Rodeo favorite The Joe Slick Band, playing in the courtyard, while the indoor stage features the music of local favorites Dry Canyon Stampede Takoda’s gets into the chutes on Sunday, June 10 from 4:30 p.m. to close fea- turing Mark Conlkin and Got Whiskey live on the patio. Check The Nugget events calendar, right, for more activities in Sisters over Rodeo Weekend. • Parents: PLEASE educate your kids and teach them not to run across a cross-walk. One lane might see them and stop while the other doesn’t (I’ve seen it many times). • Do I even need to mention the “Don’t Turn Left Or Try To Cross Cascade During Tourist Season” rule? • The roundabout works well in prin- ciple, but only if everyone uses it correctly. Education is key: Don’t stop unless you really (really) have to, coming or going. There’s at least one more of these in our near future, so we all need to know how they work. I realize I’m preaching to the choir here, but if each of us passes along the knowledge to guests and family we may, at least, delay the inevitable gridlock that’s coming in the years ahead.
