Wednesday, June 5, 2019 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon C O M M U N I T 3 Y Americana Project to celebrate CD release Sisters Folk Festival is cel- ebrating the 2019 Americana Project release along with the completion of 40 hand-made guitars and ukuleles through the Americana Luthier Program. On Wednesday, June 12, students of the Sisters Americana Project, led by Rick Johnson, will be releasing their 16th full- length record, <There and Back,= with songs written and recorded by students of Sisters High School. The concert is at 6:30 p.m. at The Belfry in Sisters. In the Americana Project, the educational outreach pro- gram of Sisters Folk Festival, Sisters High School students learn to play guitar, write and perform songs, and are introduced to the science and art of audio engineering. The students work with engineer and producer Brent Alan to learn recording techniques, including how to collabo- rate with friends and fellow musicians. The collabora- tive nature of music-making has been nurtured through PHOTO BY JERRY BALDOCK See CD RELEASE on page 22 Cyclists prepare to Crest the Cascades Green Park in the heart of Sisters. The route offers a 30-mile ride to the summit and back to Sisters; a 53-mile ride up and over the sum- mit to the McKenzie Pass West Gate and back; or a full 76 miles up and over all the way to Yale Campground and back to Village Green. Aid stations are positioned all the way, hosted by volunteers. Riders will relax post-ride at Eurosports and enjoy food, beer and live music. The event takes place two days before ODOT9s planned By Jim Cornelius Editor in Chief Over the past decade, the Crest the Cascades ride on the old McKenzie Pass has become one of Sisters9 signa- ture events. The ride events kick off on Friday, June 14 with a pre- ride registration and party sponsored by Blazin Saddles Cycle-N-Style. Riders can come by Blazin Saddles to pick up their ride packet and enjoy hors d9oeuvres, beer and wine. The Saturday, June 15 ride starts and ends at Village See RIDE EVENT on page 30 Visitors reached for the sky during a free yoga session at Sisters Farmers Market last Sunday. Sisters tries yoga in the park Fresh produce picked just minutes earlier at a farm one mile away. Handmade jew- elry and blended teas. Hot lunch, crunchy granola, and original new backpacking food made by neighbors. These offerings were all available at Sisters Farmers Market on opening day last Sunday, along with the toe- tappin9 tunes of the duo Appaloosa. Something new popped up, too: a small group of peo- ple practicing yoga, enjoying a little downward dog off to the side of the market9s hustle and bustle. Market Manager Rachel Kelleher had the idea of bringing fresh-air yoga to the lush lawn at Fir Street Park. Kelleher is a registered nurse by trade and mom to two tod- dlers. Health is frequently on her mind. Health starts somewhere: buying fresh veggies at a farmers market, randomly trying yoga. — Rachel Kelleher She sees the farmers mar- ket as a route to wellness. <Health starts somewhere: buying fresh veggies at a farmers market, randomly trying yoga,= she said. <For some people it9s overwhelm- ing to say, 8I9m healthy and always eat organic and exer- cise every day.9 <But it9s easy to say, 8I tried to be healthy today at the Sisters Farmers Market. I bought local and tried yoga.9 Change starts small.= Naji9s Midtown Yoga of Bend will present vinyasa yoga on June 9, 23, and 30 at 11:30 a.m., with various instructors. The market itself is open from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Yoga is not scheduled for Fathers Day, June 16, when the lawn will be used for a free kids9 performance workshop with Starshine Theater.
