Published 2 months, 4 weeks ago
Description
Good morning, this is your Bend Local Frequency for Thursday, January 29th. Kick off your day with the latest buzz from our sunny corner of Central Oregon, where winter adventures mix with fresh community vibes and a dash of local drama.
First, a tragic note from yesterday: Oregon State Police confirmed one person died in a two-vehicle crash at the Highway 126 and Powell Butte Highway intersection near Redmond, shutting down the road for hours and reminding us all to drive extra carefully on these icy stretches—safety first out there, folks.[5][9] On a brighter front, the City of Bend just unveiled its sleek new website at bendoregon.gov, complete with bubbly visuals, a big search bar, and easier navigation thatll save thousands in upkeep while handling over 1.5 million views a year—perfect for spotting permits, events, or trail updates without the old hassle.[7]
Shifting to the great outdoors, après ski season is in full swing, with spots around town offering post-mountain drinks that capture our lifestyle shift toward those early evening toasts before the sun dips low. And Hoodoos Thrifty Thursdays keep rolling through March with $39 ski, board, or tube deals—grab em while they last for family fun without breaking the bank.[1][2] Meanwhile, dispersed campsites north of Bend in the Juniper Ridge Temporary Safe Stay Area get a lifeline, extended to June 2027 as city and county leaders team up to manage the 170 acres responsibly.[1]
Tonight, dive into the action: Cocktail Connections at Va Piano Vineyards Tasting Room in the Old Mill from 5 to 7 pm for networking with a pour, Were Not Worthy Comedy at Worthy Brewing starting at 6:30 pm to laugh off the week, and Ultimate Scavenger hunts downtown or around Bend to explore our streets in a playful team challenge.[4][6][10][12] Long Gone Wilder Trio brings blues and rock to Rivers Place at 6 pm, while Thrifty Thursday hits Hoodoo for slopeside thrills.[2][14]
Looking ahead, tomorrows free Virginia Riggs Childrens Concert by Central Oregon Symphony packs an instrument petting zoo to spark young musicians imaginations on January 31st. Dont sleep on paint and sip nights at Winery at Manzanita, bingo for group hangs, or spots to catch games amid our brewery boom. Heavy metal fans, mark February 6th at Silver Moon for punk-to-grindcore riffs from Spina and more. And for foodies, Hoss Talebis pop-up Persian dinner transports you straight to Iran with authentic flavors from the Dogs and Fries owner.[1][2]
From BottleDrop debates to county map tussles, locals are chatting policy, but lets focus on what unites us—grabbing flannel for Flannel Fest, hitting Mountainfilm on Tour, or just savoring these crisp days. Stay connected, stay safe, and make today count in Bend.
This has been Bend Local Frequency. Well see you tomorrow with more local updates.
