Description
Good morning, this is your Bend Local Frequency for Sunday, February 22nd.

We're starting this Sunday with some important news from the Sierra Nevada region. Authorities have confirmed that search crews recovered nine bodies from an avalanche near Castle Peak, just outside Lake Tahoe, earlier this week. The group included six women and three guides, with six others surviving the incident. Sheriff Shannan Moon of Nevada County expressed gratitude that crews were able to bring all the victims home to their families despite dangerous weather that slowed recovery efforts. This tragedy comes just six weeks after another fatal avalanche in the same area, underscoring how treacherous conditions remain in the Sierra Nevada after a series of powerful winter storms.

Now, let's shift to some fun things happening right here in Bend this weekend. If you're into theater, you've still got time to catch Shrek the Musical Junior at Summit High Auditorium. The show runs through today with performances at two and seven PM, with tickets at just fifteen dollars. It's a great family-friendly option to wrap up your Sunday.

For those looking for live entertainment, The Cross-Eyed Cricket is serving up Sunday brunch from Hattie's BBQ from ten AM to one PM. It's the perfect spot to grab a meal and catch up with friends.

Looking ahead to the coming week, there's plenty to do around Central Oregon. The Bend area has a robust calendar of events featuring everything from live music to outdoor adventures. Fort Rock Sunset Hike and Stargazing continues through mid-April if you're interested in exploring the Oregon Outback under the stars. For music lovers, there are numerous live performances happening at local venues throughout the week.

If you're a skier or snowboarder, Hoodoo Ski Area is offering Thrifty Thursday deals where you can ski and ride all day for just thirty-nine dollars, presented by First Interstate Bank. That's a fantastic option if you want to make the most of the remaining winter season.

On the cultural front, Peter Pan the Musical is running at Tower Theatre starting tomorrow through March first, offering audiences of all ages a chance to experience this beloved classic with its unforgettable score.

Whether you're looking for outdoor adventures, live entertainment, or quality time with family and friends, Bend has something for everyone this week. Bundle up, stay safe out there, and make the most of our Oregon community.
