Follow the Sisters Habitat for Humanity Gingerbread Trail The holiday elves are dressing up the town for the season, and many businesses will be participating in the 12th annual Sisters Habitat for Humanity Gingerbread Trail. Businesses will display a gingerbread house, and spectators can vote for their favor- ite by placing money in the Habitat donation box next to the creation. Everyone is encour- aged to vote for more than one house. The creations will be on display begin- ning Friday, November 23, until Wednesday, January 2, 2019. Maps of the gingerbread trail are located at the Sisters Area Chamber of Commerce, Sisters Habitat Thrift and ReStore as well as all participating businesses. The gingerbread creation that receives the highest dollar amount will win the People’s Choice Award. A best-in-show award will be decided by three independent judges. These will be announced in January. All proceeds benefit the building program of Sisters Habitat for Humanity. Lasso a Cowboy Christmas When we imagine Christmas, we think of a small town decked in lights, neighbors gath- ering for caroling and fellowship — maybe a Christmas Parade. That’s exactly what you get in Sisters, which has a long-standing tradition of creating a cozy, down-home holiday. Around here, they call it a Cowboy Christmas. To kick off the season’s events, the Sisters Area Chamber of Commerce will host its yearly Christmas Tree Lighting on Friday, November 23. The tree-lighting event will be held at Fir Street Park on the corner of Main Avenue and Fir Street at 5:30 p.m. The annual Christmas Parade will be held on Saturday, November 24, at 2 p.m. on Hood Avenue. The parade will begin at 2 p.m. and will have participants float, march, and sing their way down Hood Avenue for onlookers. This year’s parade theme is “Rockin Around the Christmas Tree.” “This is such a fun event, always exciting and festive,” said Jeri Buckmann, events direc- tor at the Sisters Area Chamber of Commerce. “Perfect weekend to start off the season.” Spectators can join Santa Claus himself afterward for refreshments and pictures at the Sisters chamber office (291 E, Main Ave.) after the parade. For more information or a complete Cowboy Christmas calendar of events email events@sisterscountry.com or call the cham- ber offices at 541-549-0251.
