Country band set for July 4th event

Dry Canyon Stampede will perform at the inaugural Sisters 4th Fest on July 4th. The event, sponsored by the Rotary Club of Sisters and Citizens4Community, will take place from 7:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Village Green Park.

Dry Canyon Stampede, known for their energetic performances and crowd-pleasing country tunes, will take the Les Schwab-sponsored stage from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.. The performance will feature live music and line dancing, adding a festive atmosphere to the Independence Day celebrations.

In addition to the live music, Sisters 4th Fest will offer a variety of activities for all ages, including a pancake breakfast, classic car show, kids' mini-parade, and more. The event aims to bring the community together for a day of fun, patriotism, and family-friendly entertainment.

"We are excited to have Dry Canyon Stampede as part of our event lineup," said Bill Kelly from the Rotary Club of Sisters. "Their music will be a highlight of the festival, and we look forward to celebrating Independence Day with the entire community."

Adding to the festivities, the Cloverdale Livestock Club now plans to present a livestock demonstration in the empty lot behind Painted Lady Antiques (adjacent to the classic car show). Community members will have the opportunity to meet local farm animals and learn more about animal husbandry.

Local veterans groups Band of Brothers, Central Oregon Veterans Outreach, American Legion Post 86, and VFW Post 8138 will also be on site for a formal presentation of colors and related activities. The groups will lead a ceremony at the Village Green gazebo at 9 a.m.

The kids mini-parade will take place at 9:30 am, and is being sponsored by Eurosports. Children 12 and under are invited to don festive garb and bring their pre-decorated bikes, scooters, wagons, or strollers for a three-block showcase on the sidewalk around the perimeter of the park. Parent chaperones are requested for kids under 5, and an award will be given for "best in show."

While most 4th Fest activities are free, two events require pre-registration - the classic car show (presented by Rotary Club of Sisters) and the 5k Fun Run (presented by Run Sisters Run). C4C and Rotary are also seeking volunteers who can assist with event setup, take down, and ensuring a positive experience for all attendees. Registration links, a volunteer signup form, full schedule of events, and site map are accessible at http://www.sisters4thfest.com.

In addition to Les Schwab and Eurosports, C4C and Rotary Club of Sisters would like to acknowledge the following primary sponsors of Sisters 4th Fest: Blazin Saddles, Big Chief Vintage, Sisters Ace Hardware, Explore Sisters, St. Charles Health System, The Nugget, and NextPhase Realty. MidOregon Credit Union and Oliver Lemon's have also provided supporting contributions.
