Published 1 year, 1 month ago
Description
Good morning, this is your Bend Local Frequency for March 22, 2025. Spring is in full swing, and Bend is buzzing with excitement as the weekend kicks off. Today marks the start of spring break for many local schools, and the High Desert Museum is ready to welcome families with special programs and new exhibitions. Sky Hunters, the popular indoor flight demonstration, returns to the E. L. Wiegand Pavilion, where visitors can experience powerful predators up close as raptors fly overhead. The museum is also offering daily talks about High Desert flora and fauna, including nature walks and otter encounters.
For those looking to support local businesses and artisans, the Bend Women's History Month Maker's Market is happening today at Freeland Spirits. Over 10 vendors will be showcasing their unique products, accompanied by live music and specially curated cocktails. It's a great opportunity to celebrate and support women-owned small businesses in our community.
Music lovers, don't miss out on the Bend Bands & Brewers Bash coming up in June. This two-day live music and beer festival will feature 10 local bands collaborating with craft breweries to create unique beers that match their sound. It's a creative twist on the typical music festival that promises to be a treat for both the ears and taste buds.
In local government news, there's ongoing debate about a new house bill that aims to change how cities can use transient room tax money. Local destination organizations are expressing strong opposition to the bill, which could affect funding for tourism promotion agencies. City councilors and county commissioners recently met to discuss the potential impacts on Bend's tourism industry.
For those seeking outdoor adventures, the Northwest Crossing Farmers Market is open today from 10 AM to 2 PM, offering fresh local produce and artisanal goods. And if you're up for a theatrical experience, Meadow Sky Productions is presenting "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" at the Tower Theatre, bringing the magical world of Narnia to life with a cast of local actors.
Looking ahead, don't forget about the upcoming LezBend social event on March 27th at Craft Kitchen and Brewery. It's a great opportunity for the LGBTQ community and allies to come together, meet new people, and support local businesses.
This has been Bend Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
