One of the dances slated for Footloose at the Fire Hall on August 15 is the Circle Dance which will be led by Jodi
Winnwalker. Attendees at the July 19 Rhythm and Song evening at Village Green Park had fun learning it.
DANCE: Second
community event set
at Sisters Fire Hall

incorporating dance moves to
convey our community. For
example, what kind of move
would represent the rodeo, or
the Three Sisters, or Whychus
Creek?
After the creation of the
dance, people will get to
choose a name for it, and
perhaps it will show up at
a later date as a flash mob
somewhere.
C4C board member Jane
Paxson, who formulated the
idea for the event and has
been busy pulling together
the resources, will help lead
the Cupid Shuffle. Her twin
three-year-old grandsons will
be joining her.
All ages and stages are
invited, and no experience is
necessary. If your neighbor
needs a ride, why not bring
them with you? Come alone
or in a group and join in the
festivities or watch from the
sidelines.
Free dinner, starting at
5:30 p.m., will include sand-
wiches from Costco (veg-
gie options available), salads
from Melvin’s by Newport
Market, beverages, and cook-
ies. Activities will start at 6
p.m. and people are invited to
come when they can.
The evening represents
a collaborative effort by a
number of community orga-
nizations: C4C; Sisters Park
& Recreation District; Sisters
Athletic Club; Melvin’s by
Newport Market; Sisters-
Camp Sherman Rural Fire
District; and the Sisters Dance
Academy.
Instructors who will
be on hand with eclec-
tic music and instruc-
tion, in addition to Paxson,
include: Carol Ast-Milchen;
Shannon Rackowski;
Cameron Stoddard; and Jodi
Winnwalker,
Footloose will be the
second of three community
events organized by C4C
and their community part-
ners. The first event, Rhythm
and Song, held on July 19
at Village Green Park, saw
approximately 225 people
who cycled in and out during
the event, according to C4C
President Robyn Holdman.
An estimated one-third of the
participants were senior mem-
bers of the community.
“Lots of families with
young children enjoyed play-
ing drums and other percus-
sion instruments,” Holdman
reported.
The last summer event will
be the Fiesta de Independencia
at Fir Street Park on Sunday,
September 16, to celebrate
Mexican Independence Day,
from 4 to 7 p.m., with food,
fun, music and dancing.
“This summer we wanted
to offer fun free events to
strengthen relationships, build
trust, and encourage collabo-
ration,” said Holdman.
