Sisters celebrates Independence Day
By Cody Rheault
Correspondent
Sisters Eagle Airport
hosted its annual airport
extravaganza last week for
the Fourth of July. This
year’s attendance doubled
last year’s — 1,500 to 1,800
people turned out. Employees
and airport volunteers took to
the runway to host the sixth
annual event under the title
“Rally on the Runway.”
This year’s events featured
Skydive Awesome introduc-
ing the American flag by
parachute, and started the day
off with runners participating
in the 5k run or walk. Starting
at 7 a.m., Sisters Rotary vol-
unteers provided a pancake
breakfast for hungry runners
and attendees flowing in for
following events.
Following the run, the
Sisters Outlaws Aviation
aircraft provided buyers the
chance to win prizes with
rubber chickens in a game
of high-speed airdrop bingo.
Prizes consisted of gifts from
local businesses.
The Rally on the Runway
has become known over the
years for its large and diverse
gathering of vintage cars as
well. Enthusiasts from all
around Central Oregon drive
their classics to be shown and
fawned over by fellow advo-
cates. There were 142 cars on
display.
Many newer, fancier mod-
els made their appearance as
well and brought new tech-
nology to the row of display.
Lamborghini and Tesla were
among the few makes to
show their curves alongside
the chrome of their classi-
cal rivals, though muscle-era
vehicles dominated the
lineup. Many cars and trucks
appeared later in the morning
with the total on-display cars
reaching 175 by noon.
One of the fastest grow-
ing events held every year is
the afternoon drag race. This
year’s 68 drag competitors
featured many of the cars
on display as well as motor-
cycles and tow trucks ready
to burn rubber for the sake of
entertainment and bragging
rights. For over two hours,
machines raced the length of
the runway to win unofficial
titles.
What brings people back
every year is more than the
just the speed and noise,
but the family atmosphere
friendly competition brings.
Both Benny Benson and
Chris Schaad said the event
has grown, and felt this
year’s Rally was good for the
community.
There was even a success-
ful marriage proposal.
All proceeds went to ben-
efit the local Sisters Outlaw
Aviation program, where
high school students have the
chance to earn their wings
through local programs held
at Sisters Eagle Airport.
