Many Sisters businesses host gingerbread houses.
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.

Cowboy Christmas calendar of events email

ber offices at 541-549-0251.

If shopping local — and handmade — means something
to you, a gift from Canyon Creek Pottery is as local and
handcrafted as it gets.
For 16 years, Ken Merrill has been at work in his
pottery studio and adjoining gallery creating one-of-
a-kind functional art.
Come to Canyon Creek for beautiful, handmade…
Mugs for your special cup of coffee. A pie plate for
the baker in the house. A soup tureen. Candle-holders
to spice up your holiday décor. Colorful rectangular
platters for Santa’s cookies.
Ken has been a potter since 1983 and opened his pot-
tery studio in Sisters in 1998.
He has won renown for his beautiful, functional handmade
pottery. Each piece is handthrown on a potter’s wheel then fired in a kiln to 2,400 degrees
where it becomes stoneware.
All of Ken’s pottery is made of the finest clays available and makes a gift that gives each time
it is used.
