The Hen’s Tooth was honored as Business of the Year.
Haasch said, describing taking over
the store after her divorce.
<I was a girl who now had a hard-
ware store and a lot of work ahead of
her,= she said.
She9s made a go of it for the past
three years and employs 13 people.
Rosie Horton was honored as
Citizen of the Year. Horton, who owns
Common Threads in Sisters, has been
a Chamber board member, was a long-
time Quilt Show board member, a
Starry Nights sponsor and has taught
and coached swimming for youth in
Sisters for many years.
The Hen9s Tooth was honored as
Business of the Year after four decades
in retail in Sisters. Debbie Westerndorf
founded the store in 1978 after recog-
nizing that she had a passion for retail.
There wasn9t a lot in Sisters at that
time, but The Hen9s Tooth became a
cornerstone of the retail community in
downtown Sisters, offering an array of
gifts and outstanding customer service.
Debbie9s passion was handed
down to the second generation with
her daughter Heather Olson. The
Hen9s Tooth has become a destina-
tion shopping experience for several
generations of Sisters visitors and
shoppers.
