Country Fair offers fun for everyone

Sisters visitors and residents will partake of Sisters' annual Country Fair on Saturday, August 10, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Sisters Episcopal Church of the Transfiguration.

The church is located an eighth of a mile west of town on the McKenzie Highway.

Members of the church work year-round to plan and organize this event.

The fair offers a unique blend of arts, live music, children's games, animal rides, a petting zoo, face painting, story telling, gift shopping and a medley of delicious foods.

There will be live music performed by a variety of local musicians.

Folks have been busy for months making treats to be sold including three-pepper jelly, apple butter, cranberry-pear relish, pear chutney and a variety of jams. The old-fashioned menu will include fresh grilled items, the ever-popular Marionberry cobbler, ice cream confections, and beverages.

The Country Store will feature fresh produce, the White Elephant booth will offer treasures at bargain prices and Grandma's Attic will display antiques.

Prizes have been contributed for the popular raffle including a quilt in the Dresden Plate design, in mostly reds and blues, which has been appraised at over $600.

Another prize, provided by Black Butte Ranch includes two night's lodging, two rounds of 18-hole golf and a dinner for two.

A portion of the proceeds will go to the church's fundraising for community outreach projects.
