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.

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.

the historic building, <The

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.=
