It’s Beginning to Look A Lot Like

Christmas Endless holiday fun comes to Redmond, promising a memorable celebration of the season.

by Damian Fagan, for The Bulletin Special Projects

Redmond’s holiday spirit will be in full swing this season starting with the annual Holiday Village Market on Friday, Nov. 27, followed by the Starlight Parade and Christmas tree lighting on Saturday, Nov. 28. A host of other events and festivities will continue up to Christmas Eve such as Starfest Parade at Eagle Creek, the Charm Stroll and The Angel Tree in downtown Redmond, and a visit from Santa himself. The Redmond Chamber of Commerce, downtown merchants, Eagle Crest Resort and Redmond Area Park & Recreation District are sponsoring holiday events for shoppers, ice skaters and those who just like to share “a little Christmas” with others.

Starlight Parade & Christmas Tree Lighting

Redmond’s annual holiday Starlight Parade, a magical evening of lights and floats traveling down 6th Street, kicks off the Christmas season on Nov. 28, starting at 5 p.m. This year’s parade theme is “We Need a Little Christmas” a hit Christmas song from the Broadway play Mame. After losing her fortune in the Wall Street Crash of 1929, Mame decides that she, her nephew and two household servants “need a little Christmas” to cheer themselves up.

“We’ve already had a lot of businesses calling excited about their floats,” said Karen Sande, events coordinator for the Redmond Chamber of Commerce. “The Holiday Village Market will stay open until about 7:30 on the parade night for the thousands of people that come down for the tree lighting and to see Santa.”

The parade kicks off the holiday season and ends at the Christmas tree lighting ceremony at Centennial Park.

Bell ringers and the choir from Bridge Church will be at the park to, literally, ring in the holidays.

Businesses or participants need to pre-register their floats; applications are available on the Redmond Chamber of Commerce & CVB website www.visitredmondoregon.com or by calling 541-923-5191. Ribbons will be awarded for the top floats in the various categories.

Holiday Village Market

Centennial Park, located at 725 SW Evergreen Ave, will transform into a European style market with colorful old-world-styled kiosks housing artists and crafters encircling the park for the Holiday Village Market.

Additional vendors will be interspersed amongst the kiosks, displaying unique holiday gifts such as pottery, soaps, jewelry, woodworking, food and much more.

This year marks the 9th anniversary of the Holiday Village Market. (see story on page 6).

Downtown Holiday Open House

Holiday shoppers can enjoy the lights and sounds of the holiday season during the Downtown Holiday Open House, Dec. 5, from 11 a.m. –6 p.m. Downtown businesses will be open for the Charm Stroll and have light refreshments on hand. Mrs. Claus will be reading stories at the Paulina Springs Bookstore, 422 SW 6th St., and Santa will be greeting children at the Redmond Antiques Mall, 535 SW 6th St., from noon –5 p.m. In the evening, from 5 -8 p.m., there will be an Antique Walk hosted by the different downtown antique stores.

Contact the Redmond Antiques Mall, 541-548-6208, for Santa times or other information.

Starfest at Eagle Crest Resort

Running through the month of December, Starfest literally lights up Eagle Crest Resort. Thousands of lights twinkle in the evening glow, and visitors can drive, walk or hitch a ride on a horse-drawn wagon to view the mile-long light show. A long-standing holiday tradition, Starfest runs from Nov. 27 – Dec. 19; wagon rides run from 5 -8 p.m. Visit www.eagle-crest.com or call 541-923-2453 for information or reservations.

Santa’s Mailbox

Smith, co-owner of Paulina Springs Bookstore. “So now there are lots of books for the local SMART (Start Making A Reader Today ) program which is pretty cool.”

The national program provides books and literacy skills to children in need.

Contact Paulina Springs Bookstore in Redmond at 541-526-1491 for information.

Who hasn’t written a ‘Dear Santa’ letter in their childhood? The mailbox will be located outside the Green Plow Coffee Roasters, 436 SW 6th St., and will accept letters from the week of Nov. 23 until Christmas Eve. Collected by the Redmond Chamber, the letters will have express delivery to the North Pole; and some get reprinted on the Chamber’s website. Green Plow Coffee Roasters will also be the Redmond headquarters for The Giving Tree and Operation Elf Box. Tags on the tree provide ideas for holiday gifts including warm clothing, socks, and hats for deserving children.

Select a tag and then drop off the donation in the store. Contact Green Plow Coffee Roasters at 541-516-1128 for additional information. (see story page 13).

The Charm Stroll & Girl Scout Giving Bag

The Charm Stroll, organized by the Redmond Chamber with the downtown merchants, happens Dec. 5 during the Downtown Holiday Open House and will continue until the charms run out.

“A lot of businesses either pick a Christmas-themed charm or one that represents their business,” said Sande. Participants can obtain a Charm Stroll passport at the Redmond Antiques Mall on 6th St. The passport “costs” a giving bag donated item or financial donation to the Redmond Girl Scouts. The Girl Scouts will collect the donations of food, toiletries, gloves, socks or cash (used to purchase additional items for the bags), then distribute the items through community service organizations for those in need. After collecting charms, folks can bring them to David Haffey Fine Jewelry, 585 SW 6th St., or Joyco sales, 215

The Angel Tree

Held at the Paulina Springs Bookstores in Sisters and in Redmond, 422 SW 6th St., holiday shoppers can select a star from the Angel Tree located in the stores from Nov. 21 – Dec. 15. Purchasing an age-appropriate book is a great way to give the gift of words and stories to a deserving child.

“People always buy way more books than there are kids on the tree,” said Brad

Gingerbread House Contest

The 3rd annual Gingerbread House Contest, sponsored by the Downtown Redmond Association in partnership with the Redmond Chamber of Commerce and Chamber Visitors Bureau, is a creative and fun event for families and businesses.

On Saturday, Dec. 5 a panel of celebrity judges will give out first place ribbons in the categories of Professional/Business, Adult, and Children. Entries will be judged on originality, creativity and the products used.

“From December 5th through December 19th people can come out to downtown businesses and vote for their favorite Gingerbread House,” said Lara Chan, organizer of the event. “On December 19th the ribbons and People’s Choice Award will be given out for this wonderful tradition.”

Though the parade theme for this year is “We Need a Little Christmas, there isn’t a theme for the gingerbread houses.

Pick up an entry form at one of the many participating downtown businesses or the Redmond Chamber office.

Forms and houses must be submitted to The Wedding Lounge on Evergreen Ave. by 10 a.m. on Saturday, December 5.

Operated by the Redmond Area Park & Recreation District, the rink will be open 7 days a week throughout the winter.

“The opening is weather dependent,” said Doug Treisch, ice rink coordinator, noting that officials are working hard to get the rink open. Hours of operation and cost are TBD.

Indulge Yourself With Luxury Bedding

by Eastern Accents

Wine Not Paint Shauna Freeman’s other profession is nursing, where the greatest benefit is taking care of and engaging with patients. After attending wine and paint events with colleagues, she found it was a great outlet for the day’s frustrations. Activities like staring at the ocean, listening to music and of course painting help your mind cross communicate between brain hemispheres, and engage part of the brain you may not use throughout the workday.

Shauna started painting as a girl with her grandmother, and also loves good wine. The ability to spend an evening socializing with friends, enjoying an experience and taking home a painting you never thought you could paint seemed like the perfect combination.

Instruction is split between Shauna and local artist Carol Pinknell, who has 40 years’ experience painting, and involvement in many local art societies.

Plan a night with your family, friends, or significant other and call Wine Not Paint, 541-408-7424.

REDMOND HOLIDAY VILLAGE MARKET

Old World

CHARM

by Julie Cockburn, for The Bulletin Special Projects

Enchanted by their travels though the iconic villages and traditional Christmas markets in Europe, the Sande family of Redmond returned to Central Oregon inspired to recreate a bit of that European magic here on the High Desert. This spark of inspiration was soon to unfold into the first Redmond Holiday Village Market.

Eric Sande, executive director of the Redmond Chamber of Commerce, along with sister-in-law Karen Sande, the Chamber’s Events Director, set out to create a community event that would bring local businesses and Redmond residents together in a fun and festive atmosphere.

In that first year, back in 2007, the Sandes, along with several local businesses, joined forces to recreate a true old-world village in downtown Redmond.

Together, they built four kiosks -- including a church, a clock tower, a candy store, and a depot -- that were reminiscent of quaint buildings you might find in a European village. A handful of vendors, selling seasonal goods, filled the new Market with holiday cheer.

Each year since, the Holiday Village Market has continued to expand, as members of the Redmond community, including Redmond High School, Hayden Homes, Able General Contracting, and the Sande family, add to the magic by constructing new European

6 Redmond Magazine | June • 2015

themed kiosks.

Originally located in Redmond’s Downtown Plaza, the Market has grown so much over the years that in 2011 it was relocated to Redmond’s Centennial Park.

Now approaching its 9th year, the Market has quadrupled in size. Karen Sande expects more than 20 vendors to participate.

“They love it,” she said, “it’s a great chance for them to increase their exposure.”

Linette Whiteman, who offers fun and playful handcrafted hats and other goods through her business, Warm Heart, is looking forward to her third year at the Market.

“It’s a hometown feel. I love being right there. … It’s fun sharing and talking to people!”

“The Chamber does a phenomenal job … [they] make our experience the most wonderful it could be.

It’s very festive!” said Joy Mosier of Sons Of Norway, a fraternal organization dedicated to preserving and promoting the heritage and culture of Norway and the Scandinavian region. The organization has been a favorite at the Market for many years, with shoppers looking forward to perusing their Scandinavian cookbooks, specialty cooking equipment, and souvenirs, as well as sharing stories and experiences of Scandinavian culture.

Visiting the Redmond Holiday Village Market is like stepping into a cheerful holiday scene from yesteryear. The sounds of local choirs and carolers fill the air, as thousands of twinkling lights sparkle around the European-themed kiosks. Friendly vendors offer shoppers fantastic wares, such as beautiful, handcrafted decorations, fragrant candles, fun stocking stuffers, and cozy knit hats and scarves. “[The Market is] very quaint,” said Amber Hanson, Redmond resident, “they succeeded in that old world feel … I will definitely be going back this year!”

New to the Market for 2015, visitors will be able to warm chilled fingers with toasty seasonal drinks and snacks from Full Throttle Java, such as peppermint mochas and pumpkin chai, or their famous soft pretzels.

“We are actually going to be a permanent business in the big kiosk that is located in Centennial Park,” explained owners Terry Ziegenbein and Jenny Lewis. They are excited to open this new location just in time for the Holiday Village Market. “We have been in business in Redmond for 11 years, [and we’re looking forward to] letting new people try us out! We love meeting new people!”

The highlight of the festivities will be the Starlight Parade, hosted by the Redmond Chamber of Commerce on the Saturday following Thanksgiving, November 28. Beginning at 5 p.m. in downtown Redmond, the parade, themed “We Need a Little Christmas!”, will culminate at the Holiday Village Market in Centennial Park, where Santa Claus will light the annual community Christmas tree to the delight of thousands of onlookers.

The Redmond Holiday Village Market has truly become the wonderful community event that the Sande family envisioned 9 years ago - an event that both vendors and visitors look forward to each year.

“I love welcoming all the people, shopping and seeing what people are selling, and seeing the community come out,” said Karen Sande, “It gets the Christmas season going!”

Visiting the Holiday Village Market The Market festivities will take place in Redmond’s Centennial Park for 4 days Friday, November 27 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday, November 28 from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Saturdays, December 5 and 12, from 11a.m. to 5 p.m. Learn more at VisitRedmondOregon.com/Holiday-Village-Market.

FESTIVAL OF TREES: VETERANS COMARADERIE TREE

A Tree Full of Heart

by Kimberly Bowker, for The Bulletin Special Projects

Among the decorated limbs at this year’s Festival of Trees, there will stand one tree graced with red, white, and blue. It will be adorned with communal history and personal meaning, and honor a coming together and gratitude of unity for service to our country.

The Veterans Camaraderie tree is a first at the 32nd annual event organized

by Hospice of Redmond. The tree will be viewed among more than 30 others at the Deschutes County Fairgrounds & Expo Center on December 5. Proceeds of the event and gala benefit Hospice of Redmond and Camp Sunrise, a grief camp for children.

“The Veterans Camaraderie tree is a unique tree decorated as a unified community effort by different community members, as a way of saying we love our veterans,” explained Tessa Bailey, Hospice of Redmond Volunteer Coordinator and Veterans Advocate.

Bailey first came up with the idea for the tree from her experience working at the front desk of Hospice. With a son active in the Air Force, and as a veteran herself, Bailey continually felt touched by the veterans who come through the front door to donate after a spouse had passed on.

Bailey witnessed ceremonies and heartfelt moments at the Hospice Wall of Honor – with more than 60 names of honorably discharged veterans living or deceased etched on its panels – that further inspired her to organize the Veterans Camaraderie tree.

“Having a heart for the veterans, I feel that it is important to honor them.

I felt this was a fun way to do that,” she said.

The tree recognizes all departments of the military, and is supported by organizations such as the Veterans of Foreign Wars and General Federations

“Having a heart for the veterans, I feel that it is important to honor them. I felt this was a fun way to do that.”

— Tessa Bailey of Women’s Club. The Donations, ornaments, and gifts under the tree will be accepted until November 30.

Miniature dog tags record service members’ names, and will hang from branches next to ornaments. Such adornments include a Purple Heart ornament that Redmond’s Mayor George Endicott plans to donate.

10 Redmond Magazine | June • 2015

Endicott received a Purple Heart during his time in the Vietnam War, and it holds a special place in his own heart.

“As a veteran, it’s really important to recognize veteran service to the nation,” Endicott said. “For me, a tree like this has special meaning to recognize that.”

Other veterans are donating items,

including Jack Newcomb, who served for 20 years in the Navy. He plans to donate his Chief Petty Officer hat – the only thing that still fits him from his uniform.

Newcomb assisted with the dedication ceremony of the Wall of Honor in 2013, and serves as Senior Vice Commander of the VFW in Redmond. He is appreciative of the local community and its support for veterans, and how people come together.

“The tree is one more area where we can draw the two groups together – the people who have served in the military and the people who were served,” Newcomb said. “The more we get together and have these conversations on the difference between us and the commonalty between the two groups - that is important.”

While the tree will be one among many this year -- including cowboy, vintage and gothic-elegance themed trees, the Veterans Camaraderie tree embodies a deep history that ignites a reminder of honor and gratitude to those who served.

“It is a way to come together as a community, honor our veterans, and show our camaraderie,” Bailey said.

“That was my purpose with this tree.”

SANTA’S MAILBOX: Downtown Redmond

DEAR SANTA

by Lauren Davis Baker, for The Bulletin Special Projects

The City of Redmond is full of good cheer, despite shorter days and wintery weather. As Santa’s arrival draws near, Redmond will make him feel welcome with a special mailbox all his own. Children can use Santa’s Mailbox to write directly to Old Saint Nick, letting him know which special toys they hope to find under the tree this year.

Each year, the letters range from hilar-

ious to heart-warming, as children earnestly ask for everything from plush toys to ponies, while promising to be good (at least until Christmas).

The simple joy of children’s holiday letters can be shared by family near and far, thanks to the efforts of the Redmond Chamber of Commerce. Just after Thanksgiving, a hand-painted Santa’s Mailbox will be installed at 436 South-

west 6th Street in downtown Redmond.

The handcrafted, wooden mailbox is set on a bright, candy-cane-striped pole that’s easy to spot, just outside of Green Plow Coffee Roasters.

The popular program began five years ago and delivers more than 50 special letters each year to Santa and his elves.

“Just mail your letter by Christmas Eve,” said Chamber Event Coordinator Karen Sande. “It will be sent to the North Pole by express delivery. You don’t even need a stamp.”

The Christmas wish lists help Santa to get busy, making toys as soon as possible.

Mrs. Claus even notes that letters to Santa are a fun way for children to anticipate the holiday while practicing their writing skills. Children who haven’t yet mastered their ABC’s are encouraged to have a grown-up or older sibling do the writing, then add artwork of their own.

Several Redmond schools and daycare facilities make holiday letter writing and a visit to Santa’s Mailbox an annual tradition. It’s also a great project and outing for parents and grandparents.

“Let your children know that Mrs. Claus and I love getting mail,” Santa Claus said. “We look forward to their letters and drawings.”

Santa’s not the only one who enjoys reading the childrens’ letters, so he has his more technically-adept elves scan each page and post them on the Redmond Chamber of Commerce Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/RedmondOregon).

Even the Grinch will smile at children’s requests for toys, games, and superheroes, embellished with handdrawn artwork and special requests to Santa. The Christmas letters are scanned

daily, so parents and extended family can share in their humor and charm, online.

If your child hasn’t yet composed a letter to Santa, encourage them to be nice, get out their pencils and crayons, and then make a visit to downtown Redmond. While you’re in town, take in the holiday lights and decorations while putting Santa’s Mailbox to good use. Santa is waiting to make Christmas dreams come true.

HOLIDAY LIGHTS: Downtown Redmond

Setting the Town Aglow

by Lauren Davis Baker, for The Bulletin Special Projects

Is that Rudolph the reindeer’s red nose glowing on the horizon? Or is it the City of Redmond’s annual Christmas light display? Stroll through downtown Redmond later this month to see what amounts to miles of colorful Christmas lights, giving a warm glow to chilly winter evenings.

Starting early this month, crews of Redmond Chamber of Commerce employees and volunteer workers, known as Ambassadors, began scrambling up and down ladders, carefully wrapping light poles with strands of seasonal lights.

As part of this year tradition, which began more than 20 years ago, Redmond Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Eric Sande buys more than 400 boxes of lights each year when they are heavily discounted, on the day after Christmas.

Sande estimates that about 840 feet of lights are used, with some 40,000 colorful bulbs adding a festive and lively look to Redmond’s main streets.

“The lights started as a way to make the downtown area more appealing during the holidays,” Eric said. “The merchants wanted to be involved, but didn’t want to climb up and down ladders, so the Chamber of Commerce took on the job.”

Efforts are coordinated with City of Redmond employees, who add garlands, street banners and snowflakes. The effect

is complete when local merchants add Santas, snowmen and whimsical Christmas decor to their storefronts to welcome in shoppers. Wander down 6th, 7th, Glacier and Highland streets to do some window shopping and enjoy the holiday spirit.

Karen Sande, Eric’s sister-in-law, has been involved in the lighting project for the last eight years, as Redmond Chamber of Commerce’s events director.

“It’s very fulfilling,” Karen said. “People say thank you, wave, and honk their horns. It gets everyone in the Christmas spirit.”

It’s hard to predict exactly when the lights will illuminate the streets, as the date varies from year to year depending on the weather.

“Some years the weather cooperates, other years we are stringing lights in the wind, rain, or snow,” Karen explained.

The goal is to be Christmas-ready before Redmond’s Holiday Village Market opens on Thanksgiving weekend, November 27th and 28th. The warm lighting and seasonal charm makes shopping for unique gifts from the vendors’ oldworld style kiosks all the more fun.

While stringing the lights is a tremendous effort, the Sandes feels it is well worth the work, as the city is transformed into something magical.

From Christmas Valley Jeanette Roth and Sheena Davis have come to learn to handcane. They had great fun, many laughs, and learned another very handy skill.

Knowing how to cane will allow folks the ability to maintain the value of many family heirlooms and contemporary chairs. During the cooler season, schedule time with Karen to learn another useful craft, and create a new family story.
