Courtesy of Sisters Farmers Market and Eurosports, Bike Day cel- ebrates healthy outdoor activ- ity and creativity for all ages.

A raffle follows after noon, with prizes donated by Eurosports, Sisters Saloon, Paulina Springs Books, market ven- dors and others. Business owners like Brad Boyd of Eurosports often sup- port their local farmers mar- kets, both to boost the town9s economy and to celebrate good health for all citizens. <My partner Karen9s fam- ily were farmers through the Depression, the Dust Bowl, World War II and to present day,= Boyd said. <Aside from our personal connection to family farms, we know that local produce tastes better, has more nutrients, helps our local economy and cuts down on pollution from transporta- tion cost. <We love shopping local and keeping money circulat- ing in our community,= Boyd said. PIZZA His store, Eurosports, is located in downtown Sisters at the southeast corner of Hood Avenue and Fir Street. There, outdoor gear sales and rentals mingle with craft beer, picnic tables, and a food cart pod. <As a retailer of 30 years in Sisters, I know that farmers markets are cost-effective for growers because they provide low fixed costs and brief peri- ods of intense retail sales,= Boyd said. <Farmers work hard and anything that helps make their lives easier and helps them prosper is great.= We love shopping local and keeping money circulating in our community. — Brad Boyd takes place July 28, featur- ing free talks and demonstra- tions from Kim Hapke, N.D., and Metabolic Maintenance, among others.
