Good morning, this is your Bend Local Frequency for January 5th.

Fresh powder is transforming Mt. Bachelor into a skier's paradise, with six inches blanketing the slopes overnight and another two to four inches on the way today, keeping those runs groomed and thrilling for everyone hitting the lifts. If you're chasing winter magic under the stars, catch the tail end of the Quadrantids Meteor Shower snowshoe tours through January 12th with Wanderlust Tours, gliding through Cascade forests west of Bend for a cosmic adventure that reconnects you with nature's glow. Music lovers, tonight's the night for the Grammy-winning Dirty Dozen Brass Band at Tower Theatre, blending New Orleans brass with jazz, funk, and soul in a musical gumbo that's been rocking stages for over 45 years, promising an energetic start to your week.

Head to McMenamins Old St. Francis School this evening for Natural History Pub, where photographer David Paul Bayles and ecologist Fred Swanson unpack the Holiday Farm Fire's legacy along the Mackenzie River, sharing stories of forest rebirth amid climate challenges through stunning images and science that remind us how wildfires shape our resilient landscapes. Families, squeeze in one last skate at The Pavilion's Holliday Ice Skating, wrapping up today with open sessions that bring joy and laughter to all ages before it closes.

Looking ahead, mark your calendars for the inaugural BCD Block Party in Bend Central District on July 10th and 11th, a vibrant two-day explosion of live music, art installations, fashion shows, comedy, and kid zones that turns streets into a creative playground, with artist applications open now to spotlight our local talent. Closer in, Sheriff Ty Rupert hosts a Town Hall tomorrow evening at Three Rivers School in Sunriver, your chance to voice public safety concerns directly and help tailor protection for our growing communities.

For ongoing vibes, Currents at Riverhouse Lodge offers weekday après ski menus to unwind post-slopes, plus their new café brewing up morning lattes daily from 7 AM. Whether you're stargazing, jamming to brass bands, or planning summer festivities, Bend's buzzing with ways to dive into our high-desert heartbeat.

This has been Bend Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
