Looks like summer is ramping up to be Busy with a ton of events every week!

Sister’s Rodeo will be in full swing starting tomorrow, unfortunately the rodeo always sells out quick, but the parade should be a good bet that happens Saturday morning, plus there are a few places that host after parties throughout Sisters. By the way, I heard that one can attend the practice sessions of the different Rodeo events for free, they happen in the mornings of the ‘event’ - now don’t hold me to this but it might be worth checking out.

Lot’s of different Music going on, Hayden Homes amphitheater is having a ton of artists for the summer- check out their schedule here. Silver Moon, The Commonwealth Pub are good bets for Bend. Faith Hope & Charity Winery has an awesome outside venue near Redmond. General Duffy’s Waterhole is one of my favorite outside venues. Have a favorite, let me know in the comments at the end of the newsletter?
