Redmond’s

by Sondra Holtzman, for The Bulletin Special Projects

The holidays are upon us, and once again, Red-mond is gearing up for what promises to be a memo-rable celebration of the season.

From community celebrations and meetings with Santa to shopping and giving opportunities, Redmond is once again the place to be for ensuring the Christmas season is one ! lled with memories and fun.

Here are just a few of the holiday events being host-ed this winter:

Holiday Village MarketExperience a touch of Europe as Redmond’s Holiday Village Market opens the Friday after Thanksgiv-ing. Reminiscent of the old-world

European Christmas markets, visi-tors will delight in the sights and

sounds of the season as ven-dors peddle their wares in this charming village atmosphere. Specialty arts, crafts, food and

music will transport you to a simpler place and time that warms your heart.

The Holiday Village Market is open Friday and Saturday, Nov, 23-24 and Saturday and Sunday, Dec.

1-2. On Saturday, Nov. 24, the Village will be the cen-ter of attention as Santa lights the Redmond Christmas tree following the parade and hands out candy canes to the children.

The Market is located in Centennial Plaza at the corner of 7th and Evergreen and is open from noon to 6 p.m. each day except for Nov. 24, when it will remain open until after the tree lighting.

Starlight Parade & Tree LightingThe theme for the Annual Starlight Parade,

sponsored by St. Charles Redmond and brought to you by the Redmond Chamber of Commerce, is “The Island of Mis! t Toys.” The theme hails from the timeless holiday classic, “Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.”

Join the community Saturday, Nov, 24, at 5 p.m. as thousands of spectators pack 6th Street downtown to view one of Central Oregon’s longest and most loved parades.

This spectacular lighted extravaganza will feature " oats and entries that have been judged on theme ad-herence, creativity and of course the use of lights.

Santa Claus will ride into town on the last " oat, and once the parade comes to an end, he will continue to Centennial Park for the annual holiday tree lighting ceremony.

Enjoy the festivities of the Holiday Village Market and special music from the Bridge Church children’s bell and singing choirs as they ! ll the air with tradi-tional songs of the season.

CHRISTMAS!beginning to look a lot like


Santa’s MailboxBeginning Friday, Nov. 23 through

Christmas Eve, children of all ages are in-vited to write a letter to Santa and mail it to him in his own special mailbox.

Santa’s mailbox is located at the Red-mond Arch near Green Plow Coffee Roast-ers located at 436 SW 6th St. Santa and his elves might select a few letters to be pub-lished in the Redmond Spokesman if they are delivered by Saturday, Nov. 15.

Holiday Charm StrollThe Redmond downtown Holiday

Charm stroll is a favorite holiday tradi-tion of locals and visitors alike. Start-ing Friday, Nov. 23, look for the Holiday Charm Stroll poster in participating mer-chant windows in downtown. Merchants invite you into their stores and will hand you a unique festive, keepsake pewter charm for free.

The Charm Stroll continues through-out the shopping season, while supplies last, so hurry in and collect yours.

Also, while strolling downtown, be sure to enjoy the magni! cently decorated and lighted windows. Local merchants are competing in a Holiday Window Dis-play Contest and are eagerly trying to out do the competition.

Giving TreeThe generosity of the Redmond com-

munity over" ows in response to The Giv-ing Tree. This outstanding program helps provide those less fortunate with a much needed gift from their wish lists. Simply take a name of a child in need off the Giv-ing Tree, purchase the item(s) and return them in gift bags with tissue paper.

Gifts can be dropped off at Green Plow Coffee Roasters or the Redmond Chamber of Commerce.

Walk the Art Beat, Holiday Open House and The Art of Christmas

Greeting smile after smile while you enjoy local artists, entertainers and musi-cians is what the Walk the Art Beat and Holiday Open House is all about.

Walk the Art Beat will be held Fri-day, Nov. 23, from 4 to 8 p.m. in down-town Redmond. This beloved event will feature amazing local artists who will be present to interact and answer questions about their talent.

The Holiday Open House will be held on Saturday, Dec. 1, from noon to 6 p.m., also in downtown Redmond. During the Open House event, more than 20 down-

town businesses will offer holiday gifts at reduced prices, and each will host a spe-cial activity, such as storytelling or arts and crafts.

If gift wrapping is not your forté, Desert Song Community Church will be providing free gift wrapping during the open house for items purchased at the event downtown or at the Holiday Vil-lage Market.

Art is plentiful in Downtown Red-mond, and the High Desert Society of the Arts will be presenting their 6th annual show and sale, The Art of Christmas. This premier art event is held at Urban on 6th, at the Redmond Arch in down-town Redmond, and runs the week from Friday, Nov. 23 through Saturday, Dec. 1.

In addition to the sale, there will be a raf" e bene! tting a scholarship fund for Redmond area high school senior art stu-dents.

StarfestStarfest at Eagle Crest is a holiday tra-

dition which has delighted the commu-nity for 20 years. Starting the Friday after Thanksgiving, visitors can gaze at the multitude of colorful animated lights on display throughout the beautiful setting of Eagle Crest Resort.

Enjoy horse-drawn carriage rides and the Cowboy Santa event that features pony rides and photos with Santa on Horseback at the Equestrian Center.

RESTORE FAMILY TREASURES

Wicker Restoration Since 1974


In partnership with the Redmond Park and Recre-ation District, the City of Redmond conceived the idea of an ice rink two years ago in response to the success of Centennial Park.

The goal was to keep fees low, thus creating a winter activity that provided an affordable family experience while still meeting costs for maintaining the rink itself.

The “experiment” proved so popular throughout the winter that the City of Redmond is bringing back the ice rink for another year of fun and memories.

Weather permitting, the rink will open to the public

on Friday, Nov. 16. Once again, the rink will be located in the Seventh Street Plaza, just north of the Redmond Chamber of Commerce at 446 SW 7th Street.

“We had an excellent response last year,” said Heath-er Richards, community development director for the City of Redmond. “The average was 200 people a day through the end of January, which then tapered down a bit until the end of March when the rink closed.”

A partnership between the City of Redmond and the Redmond Park District has allowed the rink to come back for a second year. The rink will offer skating hours

for those who own their own skates, while rental skates will be available as well.

New to the rink this year are punch cards for those who wish to purchase skating time as gifts, stocking stuffers or pre-purchase rink use.

Reduced rates are also available for families in need.“We’re excited to be able to bring this amenity back

to the community this year with the same low fees as last year,” said Richards.

by Debbie Renton, for The Bulletin Special Projects

Supporting local business is sometimes easier said than done, es-pecially when it comes to planning a wedding. But several businesses along Redmond’s Sixth Street are trying to change that, creating a net-work of shops catering to the bride — and groom — to be.

Shelly Stewart opened The Dress in June. The idea evolved after dress shopping with her daughter, at the urging of other downtown Redmond shop owners, and after years of re-search.

Her boutique showcases wedding dresses, special occasion, prom and Quinceanera dresses by Bonny Brid-al. Elegant Casablanca Bridal gowns are also on display. Dresses can be purchased off the rack or ordered. A full line of top designer tuxedos are available to rent with basic packages starting at about $80.

According to Stewart, her loca-

tion is an exclusive Oregon retailer for Bonny Bridal, a designer featur-ing plus sizes. “One reason I picked Bonny Bridal was because I wanted to cater to plus sizes,” says Stewart.

Alexia Designs bridesmaids and mother-of-the-bride dresses are also displayed, as well as a selection of heels and ! ats, some of which can be dyed to a speci" c color. Brides-to-be can shop for hair accessories from combs to tiaras to jeweled head-bands. Stewart’s boutique also car-ries traditional and bird cage veils as well as garter belts.

Stewart recommends that brides start shopping for a wedding dress at least six months in advance. Many dresses can take up to four months to arrive, leaving two months time for alterations to be performed.

Also new to Sixth Street is Bou-doir Fantasy. Owner Mary Dodge carries a selection of bridal lingerie and swim wear for honeymoons as well as bridal shower gifts and soon a selection of “bedroom accessories,”

including candles, lotions and oils.Between The Dress and Boudoir

Fantasy sits one of downtown Red-mond’s oldest businesses, Flower Boutique, owned by Brenda Po-korny.

Planning your wedding? Find many of the resources you’ll need in downtown Redmond.


One of the business owners who urged Stew-art to open The Dress, Pokorny likes to see brides at least one month before their ceremony, but “six months is ideal.” At the ! rst consultation, she “asks brides to bring their vision, along with pictures, so I can get an understanding of their tastes, desired textures and preferred colors.”

The " orist says that today’s brides have thrown out tradition and are opting for creative, outside-the-box arrangements. Because many of our Central Oregon venues are located in rural

areas, Pokorny is seeing a trend toward rustic themes that include succulents and understated colors. She recently completed groom bouton-nieres decorated with " y! shing " ies tied by the groom.

Shannon Ecker, owner of Sam’s Sweet Ad-

dictions on Sixth Street, offers gourmet cakes, cupcakes and homemade pastries for weddings and other special occasions. Her creations, al-ways made from scratch, can be customized to any wedding theme.

Shannon, nicknamed Sam by her grand-mother, is seeing a trend toward weddings featuring cupcakes. She also prepared pies and cobblers for a Central Oregon wedding that was held in the fall.

Wedding guest albums can be found at Pau-lina Springs Books. The local book store also carries wedding planner books that come in binder form and include checklists, budgets, schedules, and tips for creating weddings from chic to simple. Brides-to-be can also ! nd DIY Bride books by Khris Cochran. Travel books and magazines for planning honeymoons also are available.

A wedding wouldn’t be a wedding without the rings. David Haffey Fine Jewelry has been designing jewelry in Central Oregon since 1980, the last three years on Redmond’s Sixth Street. Following a consultation, wedding couples can expect to see their ! nished product in about six weeks.

David’s wife, Dawn, says that today’s cou-ples are going for old fashioned, delicate de-signs. David has also been asked to design rings that included the Cascade mountains.

The jeweler sells gifts for brides-maids and groomsmen. Recently, a groom purchased engraved ! asks for his party; his bride chose pearl neck-laces for her party.

To look and feel your best on that special day, Redmond’s Sixth Street

has an abundant selection of salons and day spas specializing in formal, elegant, and even casual wedding

looks. Most salons ask for parties to make reservations a month in ad-vance to allow them to clear stylist schedules. While the updo hairstyle is still the most popular for brides, ca-sual braids also are trending.

DynaCore Fitness offers a comfort-able yet high-energy atmosphere for brides and grooms wanting to convey a “wow” factor at the altar. Owners Denys and Teresa Middleton recom-mend starting three to four months in advance of the wedding. Teresa cau-tions “brides [reach] their weight goal prior to " nal dress alterations.”

According to Denys, the " tness center focuses not only on weight and inches lost, but on “total lifestyle improvement” through nutrition, supplements and hydration, which will result in a better complexion, and stress relief. Teresa also notes that brides can put extra focus on certain muscle de" nition depending on dress type.

Wedding and reception décor that follows Central Oregon’s rustic theme can be found along Sixth Street in the form of antique shops, several of whom will rent items, including rus-tic jars and buckets to hold ! owers, tables as well as old doors and arches that can be used for the altar.

Shopping locally does nothing but bene" t the Central Oregon economy. It’s said that for every dollar spent, .68 cents stays in the community. Red-mond’s Sixth Street shop owners have that in mind as they plan future net-work events to promote their down-town area as a wedding destination.

Karen Sande of the Redmond Chamber of Commerce says that this supportive atmosphere is great for the community.

“It makes everyone feel like a fami-ly because we’re so close in Redmond. Shops owners are working together so people know to come to downtown Redmond to plan their wedding.”
