PHOTO BY JERRY BALDOCK Reenactors created Wild West shootouts at the site of a Western set along Cascade Avenue last weekend. WILD WEST: Show was staged along Cascade Avenue Continued from page 1 added to each script. “I play a rustler, a bad guy and sometimes the town clown,” Hawkins said. “I love being a ham and find it fun to be able to pretend that I’m John Wayne for a day.” Nick and Kathy Bow- man from Bend brought their whole family to watch a cou- ple of the shootout skits. “We’ve been here once before and the kids love it, even though they hold their ears during the shootout,” Kathy Bowman said. “The Wild West Show really fits in Sisters.” Before each show, event organizer Richard Ester- man talked about safety and explained that the guns used are real, but there would be no real bullets, only black powder blanks. “Once a year, the third week of August, we build a Western town that comes to life for everyone to enjoy.” Esterman told The Nugget. “Our Wild West Show offers Wild West shootouts through well-acted skits that are free to the locals and visitors of Sisters.” Besides the nine shootout performances and skits begin- ning at high noon, the show also featured a beer garden and vendors with a variety of Native American and Western- themed arts and crafts for folks to meander through looking for that special Old-West-style treasure to purchase. New vendors Janel Maurer and Kris Hakkila were offer- ing wine tasting from their Eqwine Mobile Wine Cart. “We just got our license to offer wine last fall,” Maurer said. “We were getting horses and started looking for horse trailers and found this 1976 horse trailer. And since we both love going wine tasting, it seemed like the right combi- nation and we slowly derived our plan to create a mobile cart for sharing wines. Our goal is to focus on the wines of the Pacific Northwest.” “We travel the Northwest in search of great wines,” Hakkila added. “And we spe- cialize in all events, like wed- dings, office parties, banquets, birthdays and shows.” CHECK OUT • Lynn and Greg Knudsen of Plainview subdivision wrote: “We would like to thank all the firefighters for the relentless efforts on the Cloverdale Fire; they abso- lutely saved our home and property at the end of Rock Island Lane. “We can’t say enough about the ongoing check up and diligent walk-though on our property days after the fire to ensure that no flare- ups have occurred.” • The entire Sisters community seconds the Knudsen’s salute. Local firefighters, and the volunteers of the Cloverdale Fire District in particular, have had an intense sum- mer, dealing with fires that posed an immediate threat to lives and prop- erty. The community thanks them for their diligent service. g n i s i t r e v Ad t e g g u N e in Th Works! this week’s Nugget inserts!
