SHE Project raises funds for victims of domestic violence
The SHE Project, 52 pieces of art for sale, returns this month to the art wall at Good Day Café in Sisters to raise funds for Saving Grace, a Central Oregon organization that provides services for domestic violence and sexual assault survivors.
Sisters Dance Academy Hosts Virtual Show
The Sisters Dance Academy (SDA) has had its fair share of difficulties while coping with state-mandated shutdowns during COVID-19. The first shutdown the dance academy faced was in March when the concerns over the spread of COVID-19 were growing rapidly. The studio quickly made adjustments to be able to host their classes online to try to preserve their students and program.
OAS opens registration for winter sports
Registration is now open for winter sports at Bend-based nonprofit organization, Oregon Adaptive Sports (OAS). Offering individually tailored lessons for each athlete, OAS has winter-sports programs at Mt. Bachelor, Hoodoo and throughout Central Oregon.
A career in raptor rescue
Rescuing an injured raptor is best left to the professionals. Large birds of prey like golden or bald eagles with wingspans sometimes close to eight feet, require expert handling and a licensed rehabilitator. In Sisters, for the past 20 years, Wild Wings Raptor Rehabilitation was the place to call when a raptor needed help.
STARS provides essential service
“The service offered by STARS means we can continue to live in Sisters,” Joann Powers told The Nugget.
And ‘snow it begins’ for active winter
Thanksgiving day is the unofficial start of the snowmobile season. This fourth Thursday of the month, the caravan from points east snakes through downtown before light breaks and heads out Three Creek Road the 11 miles to the Upper Sno-Park. By 6:15 a.m. there are already 13 rigs being unloaded. Within an hour, some 50 are packed up in the plowed lot. The later arrivals I am told needed a thermos refill at Dutch Bros, who strained to keep up with orders.
