During the ANNUAL SISTERS OUTDOOR QUILT SHOW, the largest outdoor quilt show in the U.S., more than 1,100 quilts from around the world decorate the Western-style town of Sisters, Ore. The festive event appeals to quilters and nonquilters alike, with music and food. Approximately one-third of the quilts are for sale. The show is part of a weeklong event celebrating fiber and textile arts.
More than 70 artists strut their creative stuff at the 2008 Cracked Pots Garden Art Show. This annual outdoor event is known for showcasing all kinds of art, from the silly to the serious. All the items are made from recycled materials and displayed on the landscaped grounds of the renovated historic McMenamins Edgefield. Cracked Pots—a Portland nonprofit that promotes the creative reuse of materials while offering fun, high-quality art—sponsors the show.
Vintage toys, early American and European furniture, Fenton china and Tiffany glass are just some examples of what you’ll find at Palmer/Wirfs’ Antique & collectible show. More than 1,800 booths will include everything from kitchenware and décor items to quilts and clocks.
Every December, the Community Cycling Center distributes refurbished bikes, new helmets and bike-safety education to children in low-income families via its Holiday Bike drive. The program serves 3- to 9-year-olds enrolled by a school, church or family service agency in the program. For most of the children who receive a bike, it’s the first bike they’ve ever owned. You can help by donating a bike you no longer need.
