Bend Local Frequency: Scavenger Hunts, Community Service, and Infrastructure Updates
Published 3 months, 1 week ago
Description
Good morning, this is your Bend Local Frequency for Sunday, January 18th.
We've got a great day ahead with plenty happening around town, so let's jump right in.
If you're looking to get out and explore Bend this morning, we have some fantastic options. The Ultimate Scavenger Hunt Downtown is running all day from ten in the morning until five in the evening, and it's a favorite for both visitors and longtime residents. There's also the Boneyard Backcountry Bars event happening from eleven until three if you're interested in checking out some local establishments. And music lovers should head over to Tower Theatre tonight to catch Keller Williams performing.
In community news, Camp Fire Central Oregon is hosting a special volunteer opportunity this afternoon at Bend Church on Northwest Bond Street. They're creating handmade thank-you cards for veterans in honor of Martin Luther King Junior's spirit of service and giving back. The event runs from nine until eleven thirty in the morning, so there's still time to stop by and lend a hand.
Speaking of local government, the city of Bend continues to move forward on several fronts. Work on the Olney Avenue Improvements Project is progressing nicely as crews continue their construction efforts. The city is also preparing to enact a new policy that would bar the use of city facilities for federal immigration enforcement, reflecting community input on this important issue.
On the state level, there's some good news for our water infrastructure. The U.S. House recently approved a funding package that includes over six million dollars for Fifth District water infrastructure projects, with nearly one million of that designated specifically for Bend to replace aging water pipes. This is a significant investment in keeping our essential services running smoothly.
And if you've been thinking about the weather lately, remember that overnight temperatures continue to dip below freezing across Oregon. The State Fire Marshal's Office is reminding everyone to stay safe during these cold nights, so take precautions with your heating systems.
Of course, if you missed yesterday's news, a six point zero magnitude earthquake struck off the Oregon coast near Bandon on Thursday evening. No tsunami was expected, and there were no reports of damage in our area.
That's what's happening around Bend today. Whether you're out exploring downtown, volunteering in our community, or just staying warm at home, we hope you have a wonderful Sunday.
This has been Bend Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
