Wednesday, March 11, 2020 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon POSTER: Artist was featured at Sisters Harvest Faire Continued from page 3 She drew her first horse at the age of five and hasn9t stopped since. Smith said, <I9ll never for- get Rodger stopping by my booth last year, compliment- ing me on my art and taking one of my business cards. But I didn9t give it much thought since a lot of people take my cards and I never hear from them.= Smith was very surprised when Dwight sent her an email with an expressed inter- est in one of her images that he wanted to use for the 2020 rodeo poster. She added, <After several emails, he sent me a draft of the poster and told me the board had approved my image. I have been elated ever since!= Jeri Buckmann, event coordinator for the Sisters Area Chamber of Commerce, said she feels very connected to this year9s rodeo poster since the artist was cho- sen from last year9s Sisters Harvest Faire. <Valerie is an exceptional artist, and the artwork along with the vintage photos made the poster so unique,= she said. <I am very happy for her. Valerie has been a Sisters Harvest Faire vendor for sev- eral years, and an opportunity like this is special.= Smith has won awards in various art shows in California, and more recently won best in show at the Deschutes County Fair. She plans to divide her time between riding her horse and capturing the hearts of Oregon horse-lovers through her artwork. 15 Book sale will continue on Quilt Show Saturday By Helen Schmidling Correspondent The Three Sisters Historical Society is now managing the annual book sale that9s been held for many years on the same day as the Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show. This year, that9s Saturday, July 11. Proceeds will ben- efit Three Sisters Historical Society. For many years, the book sale was managed by, and benefitted, the Friends of Sisters Library. In a move that hearkens back to the beginnings of the annual book sale, it9s being held this year at the Maida Bailey Building, which housed the very first Sisters Library. <The book sale was (for- merly) held out on the lawn and inside the Maida Bailey Building,= said Zeta Seiple, representing the former Friends of Sisters Library. <It was held here for the first couple of years when I moved here.= The Sisters Area Chamber of Commerce, which now maintains the property, wel- comed the idea of holding the annual book sale in the Maida Bailey Building. The Chamber has offered to col- lect books and store them in the building. Volunteers rep- resenting the former Sisters Library Book Corner and the Three Sisters Historical Society will pitch in to col- lect, catalog, and sell books during the Quilt Show. <We9re taking books of all kinds,= said Lisa Shaddox, the former chair of the Book Corner. <Hardcover fiction and paperbacks, nonfiction, history 4 all are welcome. Quilting and all kinds of craft- ing books are also popular with that audience.= As for permission from the City, <the official in charge said we9re good to go to have the Quilt Show Book Sale at the Maida Bailey Building, because we are a nonprofit, we already have a business license. We can have it inside and outside,= said Karen Swank, secretary of the Three Sisters Historical Society. According to a sign on the historic building, <The Keep Your Employees PHOTO BY HELEN SCHMIDLING The annual book sale that coincides with Quilt Show will now be held at the Maida Bailey Building and run by the Three Sisters Historical Society. original site of the Sisters Library was on Cascade Street (sic). Money to pur- chase the land was raised by area residents and businesses and construction material was donated by local mills. <The library officially opened in 1939. The 14-by- 20-foot structure has (had) shelf space for 1,000 books. Members of the Sisters Civic Club volunteered as librar- ians to keep the doors open for three days and evenings per week. In 1949 an exist- ing office was attached to the library to provide additional shelf space. The building was moved to Spruce Street in 1980. The structure was retired in 1990 upon comple- tion of the present library.= Drop off bags of books at the Sisters Chamber of Commerce, 219 E.
