Citywide Scavenger Hunt, Blues-Rock, Guitar Legends, Art Exhibits, and Local Politics in Bend
Published 3 months ago
Description
Good morning, this is your Bend Local Frequency for Thursday, January 22.
Kick off your day with some high-energy fun at the Ultimate Scavenger Bend citywide event, running from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Grab your crew, hop in the car or on your bike, and hunt down clues across town for a chance at prizes while discovering hidden gems that make Bend so special. If music's more your vibe tonight, head to the Tower Theatre for SIMO's show, bringing their soulful blues-rock riffs to light up the stage. Music lovers, mark your calendars for Guitar Gods Revue soon after, featuring local talent Rod DeGeorge channeling legends like Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton, with Italian virtuoso Enrico Santacatterina making his U.S. debut for an unforgettable night of guitar wizardry.
Art enthusiasts, dont miss the Vistas and Vineyards 2026 reception this evening from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., free and open to all, where you can mingle with artists amid stunning works that capture Central Oregons rugged beauty. Young professionals, join the Bend ET Social at the swanky new Westman Hotel starting at 5 p.m., with snacks, drinks, and a special kickoff from Mayor Melanie Kebler sharing how emerging leaders are steering Bends future. Tickets are just fifteen bucks for chamber members.
On the news front, Central Oregon lawmakers like Rep. Jason Kropf are gearing up for the February 2 legislative session with fresh concepts, including tweaks to gun permits that could reshape local safety debates. Recreation providers are pushing hard for liability reforms like LC 215 to shield ski areas, bike parks, and trails from lawsuits over inherent risks, a move backed by groups from the Oregon Trails Coalition to local operators worried about insurance woes closing doors on summer mountain biking and beyond. It means more reliable access to the adventures that define our lifestyle, but lawmakers are threading the needle to keep everyone safe.
Sadly, the Hunger Prevention Coalition is dissolving after 26 years of fighting food insecurity, handing the baton to evolving local networks as needs shift. Meanwhile, Redmonds buzzing with Wild Ride Brewings PorterMania preps and calls for artists at the airport to create iconic installations. COCC gears up for Black History Month in February with free events celebrating Black triumph, women, and youth through dinners, films, and forums.
Over in Redmond through Sunday, the Cabin Fever RV and Boat Expo at the fairgrounds is your ticket to shake off winter blues with gear demos and deals. Looking ahead, The Suttle Lodges Winter Beer Fest in February taps over 25 breweries, including locals like Goodlife.
Stay tuned to these stories as they unfold, impacting how we play, eat, and thrive right here.
