Outage relief, winter driving, and Mt. Bachelor fun - your Bend local update.
Published 3 months, 4 weeks ago
Description
Good morning, this is your Bend Local Frequency for Saturday, December 27.
Rise and shine, Bend! After those holiday power outages spoiled some fridges around Central Oregon, great news from the Oregon Department of Human Services: you've got until January 16 to report lost food and snag replacement SNAP benefits, giving families extra breathing room to restock without the pinch. Meanwhile, Hayden Homes and Simplicity just dropped eighteen thousand five hundred dollars right here to local heroes like St. Vincent de Paul of Bend, NeighborImpact, and Thrive Central Oregon, plus over two thousand five hundred pounds of food and dozens of volunteer hours. That's real firepower against hunger, ensuring kids, families, and seniors keep meals on the table year-round, not just during the holidays. Speaking of community spirit, a heartbreaking reminder from the roads: a Bend woman, Cindy Rose Pearce, was involved in a fatal three-vehicle crash on Highway 97 in Klamath County earlier this month due to icy conditions, claiming the life of Kristara Leah Lopez from Coos Bay. It underscores why we're all doubling down on cautious winter driving as we shake off the snow.
Shifting to brighter skies, Mt. Bachelor is your holiday playground today with festive fun packed in. Kick off with Passholder Early Ups on Red Chair from eight to nine a.m. if you've got that season pass, then hit Kids Après at West Village Lodge from noon to two for free cookie decorating – sprinkles, icing, pure magic for the little ones. Unwind at the Side Bar by Red Chair from eleven a.m. to three with cold brews, burritos, and chill vibes. Cap the day with the Sunset Snowshoe Tour at the Nordic Center starting three thirty p.m. – join local historian Glenn Voelz for a two-mile trek through alpine wonders, hot chocolate at sunset overlooking the Three Sisters, and cozy fireside snacks for fifty-nine bucks, gear included. Headlamps encouraged!
Downtown, catch Tony Smiley looping raw rhythms live at McMenamins Father Lukes Room tonight from seven to ten, free and all ages – his one-man global beats will have you hooked. Craving bold flavors? Swing by Yokocho Izakaya off the beaten path, open noon to three and five to nine today, dishing Japanese small plates that turn any meal into an adventure.
On the civic front, a guest column in The Bulletin calls out the City of Bend for missing a key equity chance, sparking talks on how we build a fairer community for all. And a quick safety note: with outages lingering, Oregon State Fire Marshal warns of carbon monoxide risks from generators – stay vigilant to keep the new year safe.
This has been Bend Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
