Wednesday, March 6, 2019 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon Cat Video Fest benefits local animals It9s the cat9s meow this Friday, March 8, when <Cat Video Fest 2019= begins showing at Sisters Movie House. The event is a fundraiser for Furry Friends Foundation; 10 percent of tickets sales will be donated to their free spay/ neuter program for cats. Each year, Cat Video Fest curates a compilation reel of the latest, best cat videos culled from countless hours of unique submissions and sourced animations, music videos, and classic Internet powerhouses. Screening events take place all over the world in a host of venues and raise money for cats in need, often through partnerships with local cat charities, animal welfare organizations, and shelters to identify how best to serve cats in the area. Here in Sisters, distributor Oscilloscope is partnering with Sisters Movie House on the proceeds from admissions of Cat Video Fest to benefit our local Furry Friends Foundation. So come check out some hilarious cat videos and do some good at the same time. Furry Friends Foundation offers free spay/neuter/vacci- nation services to Sisters-area families with cats (and dogs), plus maintains two pet sup- ply and food banks. It serves over 100 families monthly and relies on local fundrais- ers, donations and grants for funding. Sisters Movie House urges Writing prize submissions due soon Waterston Desert Writing Prize submissions for the 2019 prize are due by mid- night April 1. If you are planning to sub- mit, it9s time to warm up your keyboard and put print to paper. Find all the guidelines and a link for submissions at www.waterstondesertwriting- prize.org. The prize winner will receive a $2,500 cash award, a reading and reception at the High Desert Museum in Bend, and a four-week residency at PLAYA at Summer Lake. The winner and finalists will be announced in early May. The award event, including <A Desert Conversation,= will take place Wednesday, June 26, at the High Desert Museum. The prize honors creative nonfiction that illustrates artistic excellence, sensitivity to place, and desert literacy, with the desert as both subject and setting. Inspired by author and poet Ellen Waterston9s love of the high desert of Central Oregon, a region that has been her muse for over 30 years, the prize recognizes the vital role deserts play world- wide in the ecosystem and the human narrative. The prize is funded from an endowment managed by the Oregon Community Foundation, with the impetus for the creation of the endow- ment provided by actor Sam Waterston, after whom the prize is named.
