Kaia Backouris, age 8, moved to Sisters recently and began attending Sisters Elementary School. This was her first time being in snow. <I just love everything about snow,= she said, eyes wide. She described the parade as <really cool and fun.= Her favorite part was <the rodeo queen and her horse.= Sixteen-year-old Hope Johnson and her dad, Jeff, were visiting from Corvallis. <Community and coming together,= is what holiday celebrations in Sisters represent to Hope. Her favorite part of the parade was <being warm and welcome, seeing everyone come together and celebrate Christmas as a community.= The Johnson family lives in Corvallis and has owned a second home in Sisters Country for <probably 30 years,= according to Jeff. <Our family9s come over here quite a bit. We come over at Thanksgiving time; it9s nice because there9s snow. That9s the fun part. Snow is Christmas!= <Seeing the different floats, seeing what people are putting together,= is what draws Jeff back to the parade every year. <It9s nice to see the little things, the new ideas.

We always come to the parade,= he said. <Last year9s was longer, because it was a little bit better weather. Only the hardy people came out this time.= Beacham’s Clock Co.
