FILL A BAG. FEED SISTERS. STAY FOR A TUNE

This Fourth Friday, please make Makin’ it Local your first stop. Not because we’re needy—although attention is lovely—but because carrying an overflowing bag of peanut butter, tuna, chili, and beef stew around town all evening is unnecessarily athletic. Doors open and the fun starts at 4 p.m.

Drop off your filled Feed Sisters grocery bag, complete your drawing slip, and then reward your excellent community spirit with:

Live ukulele music by Tristan Marshall from 4:30–6 p.m.

Refreshing Oregon canned w**e, Deschutes B**r, and Sparkling Water

Makin' it Local "famous" ginger snap cookies!

The satisfaction of helping stock the Sisters Kiwanis Food Bank

Yes, we’re serving canned w**e at a canned-food drive. Occasionally, a theme simply writes itself.

Fourth Friday Canned W**e Night
📅 Friday, October 23
⏰ 4–6 p.m.
📍 Makin’ it Local

Bring quality, new, unopened and unexpired nonperishable food. Every filled bag helps move Feed Sisters closer to its 5,000-pound goal.

Need a Feed Sisters empty grocery bag to fill? Swing by Makin' it Local and pick up a couple, and we will see you back on Friday the 23rd.

Fill a bag. Feed Sisters. We’ll supply the tunes—and the cans you don’t have to donate.
100% goes to the Kiwanis Food Bank.

LOCALS HAVE BENEFITS!

Seriously Great Art. Now on YOUR schedule.

Now we're making it even easier to enjoy your favorite local gallery — on your time, not ours!

You are invited to Book a Gallery Visit — a convenient way to enjoy Makin' it Local outside our regular walk-in hours.

☀️ Early birds: 9–10 AM
🌙 After-hours art lovers: 4–6 PM
📅 Every day, in 30-minute appointments

Whether you're shopping for a thoughtful Oregon-made gift, searching for that perfect piece of art, or simply want a little time to explore, we'll be here for you.

Our warm, knowledgeable staff will be ready to offer personal attention, share stories about our artists, and help you discover something wonderful. Or, if you'd rather browse at your own pace, that's perfectly fine, too.

We might even pour you a refreshment while you browse!

No rush. No pressure to purchase. Just Seriously Great Art and a little time set aside for you.

And while we're celebrating Locals Have Benefits, our visiting friends are always welcome to book, too. Great art doesn't check your ZIP code!

THE FOOD HAS LEFT THE GALLERY!

Jeff and Doug, co-directors of the Sisters Kiwanis Food Bank ( Sisters Kiwanis ), stopped by to collect the latest Feed Sisters donations—and our community filled the back of an F-150 and an SUV.

We’ll have the official poundage later this week. For now, let’s call it “a very respectable amount of suspension-testing generosity.”

And there’s more good news:

💵 Monetary donations to date: $1,591

A huge thank-you to everyone who has donated money. Cash contributions allow the Sisters Kiwanis Food Bank to purchase exactly what is needed most, when it is needed most. Every dollar helps stock the shelves more strategically—and 100% of it benefits the food bank.

Feed Sisters 2026 simply could not happen without so many community members stepping up.

But—and this is a rather large, canned-food-sized but—we are still a long way from our 5,000-pound goal.

If you can donate and haven’t yet, please dig deep. Stop by Makin’ it Local, pick up an empty Feed Sisters grocery bag—or two—and bring it back full of quality nonperishable food.

You can return your bag anytime through October 31, or join us for:

🥫 Fourth Friday Canned W**e Night
📅 Friday, October 23
⏰ 4–6 p.m.
🎶 Live ukulele music by Tristan Marshall, 4:30–6 p.m.
🍷 Oregon canned w**e and b**r

Canned drinks at a canned-food drive. We do occasionally think things through.

And finally, we are relieved to report that the bag containing the Lay’s potato chips has officially left the gallery.

Brent brought that donation in, and we strongly suspect he knew we would have to stare at those chips until pickup day. Black beans and canned tuna are wonderful, useful donations—but they do not whisper our names from across the gallery quite like potato chips.

The temptation has passed. The chips survived. Barely.

Thanks, Brent. We think.

ROAD TRIP! Pottery waits for no one! 

When the artists call, we come running. Or, in this case, driving a few hundred miles across Central Oregon! 😂

Makin’ it Local will be closed Thursday morning, October 15th, while we head east on a pottery treasure hunt!

Our mission? Meet up in Dayville, Oregon, with the talented folks from Muddy Creek Studio and bring back another load of seriously great, locally made pottery.

Apparently, beautiful pottery doesn't deliver itself. Who knew? 

The good news? We've got this road trip down to a science (well, sort of), and we'll be back OPEN at NOON on Thursday!

We apologize for the brief inconvenience, but when there's great Oregon art to be had, sometimes you've just gotta hit the road!

We'll be open our regular hours the rest of the week.

Makin' it Local
Seriously Great Art. Worth the Drive. 😉

If you have Feed Sisters food bags, Please do not leave them in front of the door. They grow legs and walk away. Thank you, and sorry for the inconvenience.

A big, heartfelt thank-you to Central Oregon Daily for turning its cameras toward Feed Sisters 2026 and helping share this important community story.

Central Oregon Daily does a fantastic job highlighting the people, organizations, and projects making a difference throughout our region. Coverage like this reaches well beyond a single news segment—it helps empty grocery bags become full ones, introduces more people to the work of the Sisters Kiwanis Food Bank, and moves our community closer to its 5,000-pound goal.

Admittedly, grocery bags filled with peanut butter, canned chicken, tuna, chili, and beef stew may not be the most glamorous things ever featured on television. But around here, they are absolutely worthy of the spotlight.

Thank you, Central Oregon Daily, for recognizing that community-interest stories matter—and for helping neighbors feed neighbors.

Pick up an empty Feed Sisters grocery bag at Makin’ it Local and return it filled by October 31. Better yet, join us for Fourth Friday Canned W**e Night with Live Music by Tristan - Friday, October 23rd, 4- 6 p.m. Yeah Tristan M.

A heartfelt thank-you to our hometown newspaper, The Nugget News — Nugget Newspaper — for helping spread the word about Feed Sisters 2026 and our upcoming Fourth Friday Canned W**e Night.

The Nugget consistently shows up for Sisters—sharing the stories, people, organizations, and slightly questionable ideas that make this community special. Yes, apparently serving canned w**e at a canned-food drive qualifies as news. We feel seen.

We’re adding a little live music to all those cans. 🥫🍷🎶

Join us for Fourth Friday Canned W**e Night on Friday, October 23, from 4–6 p.m. at Makin’ it Local.

Beginning at 4:30 p.m., Tristan of Ukulele Uncovered will provide the live soundtrack—with considerably more musical talent than anything we could produce by tapping two soup cans together.

The evening includes:

🎶 Live ukulele music from Tristan, 4:30–6 p.m.
🍷 Refreshing Oregon canned w**e
🥫 Feed Sisters grocery-bag drop-offs and pickups
💙 A chance to help stock the Sisters Kiwanis Food Bank

Bring a grocery bag filled with quality nonperishable food, enjoy the music, and sample some surprisingly wonderful w**e from a can.

No filled bag yet? Pick up an empty Feed Sisters bag while you’re here. Consider it your take-home assignment—except this one helps feed your neighbors.

Well, look at us—making headlines with canned food, canned w**e, and a perfectly reasonable obsession with feeding our neighbors. 🥫🍷

A big thank-you to Sydney Seymour and The Bulletin for highlighting Feed Sisters 2026 and our upcoming Fourth Friday Canned W**e Night.... News flash..now with live music (Tristan Marshall on Ukulele)

Every article, post, share, and conversation helps more people learn about the food drive—and that matters. Our goal is to collect 5,000 pounds of quality nonperishable food for the Sisters Kiwanis Food Bank by October 31. Apparently, spreading the word is almost as important as spreading peanut butter.

It turns out the best way to get people talking about canned food is to mention canned w**e. Marketing is mysterious like that. 🥫🍷

A very big thank-you to the staff at Cascade A&E Magazine for featuring our Fourth Friday Canned W**e Night and helping spread the word about the Feed Sisters 2026 Food Drive.

Sharing matters. Every article, social post, newsletter mention and conversation helps Feed Sisters reach more people—and moves us closer to our goal of collecting 5,000 pounds of nonperishable food for the Sisters Kiwanis Food Bank.

Join us for the event that gives “getting canned” a much better reputation:

Fourth Friday Canned W**e Night
Friday, October 23 | 4–6 p.m.
Makin’ it Local
281 W. Cascade Avenue, Sisters

Bring a grocery bag filled with quality nonperishable food, drop it off before walking the galleries and enjoy some surprisingly wonderful Oregon canned w**e. Empty Feed Sisters bags will also be available for anyone who needs a little homework.

Thank you, Cascade A&E Magazine—and thank you to everyone sharing, talking, donating and gently nagging friends to fill a bag. That’s how a community food drive becomes a community success.
