SOAR celebrates summer fun

A deputy fingerprinted kids at SOAR's Fun-in-the Sun event.

Sisters kids -- and plenty of adults, too -- enjoyed a day of summer fun on Saturday, July 20, courtesy of SOAR.

The Sisters Organization for Activities and Recreation hosted a day of activities and entertainment under the sun at Sisters Elementary School.

Events included a basketball tournament; five and 10-kilometer runs; Taekwondo demonstrations; a co-ed volleyball tournament and live music.

The Deschutes County Sheriff's office and Sisters-Camp Sherman fire personnel were on hand to offer safety tips and information.

Children played games and enjoyed a water slide that cooled them off in the heat of day.

The venue was filled with the sound of live music, including an appearance by Bend rock band "Simon Something."
