Published 1 month, 1 week ago
Description
Good morning, this is your Bend Local Frequency for Saturday, March 14.
What a vibrant Saturday in Bend to kick off your weekend with sunshine and spring vibes on the horizon. Tragedy struck late Thursday night when a man died after a struggle during an attempted home invasion on NW Braid Drive. Bend Police say the intruder tried forcing his way into a home around 11:45 p.m., fought with the resident who sustained minor injuries, then fled on foot only to be found critically hurt on a nearby golf course. Detectives are investigating, but it underscores how folks here stay vigilant to keep our neighborhoods safe. On a brighter note, sports fans catch the Summit Storm varsity basketball team hosting Centennial from Gresham at 12:30 p.m. at Linfield University right here in Bend, a perfect chance to cheer on local talent and feel that electric community energy.
Music lovers, todays the day for Bluegrass Bend-r at the Volcanic Theatre, a one-day mini-festival bending the genre with Crying Uncle Bluegrass Band, Quattlebaum, Midnight 45, and more, promising foot-stomping fun that captures Bends lively arts scene. Craving pie? Head to Sparrow Mercado for their Pi Day pop-up on this 3.14 date, slicing up heavenly baked pies thatll satisfy your sweet tooth and spark some mathematical joy. Adventure seekers, join the group gravel bike ride starting from the Old Mill, tackling the Water and Lava route up to Benham Falls and back for 30 miles of stunning Central Oregon trails that remind us why we love calling this place home.
Looking ahead, mark your calendars for the Hydro Flask St. Patricks Day Dash next weekend along the Deschutes River, with 10K, 5K, and 1.5-mile options, live music, green beer from Deschutes Brewery, and all proceeds supporting the Boys & Girls Club of Bend, blending fitness and family fun in true Bend style. Music fans, Steinway artist Brett Mitchells solo piano recital hits Sunriver on April 11 with film arrangements, wine tasting, and VIP receptions, while the Banff Mountain Film Festival rolls into the Tower Theatre April 17-18, showcasing epic adventures that fund local outdoor programs for Realms Schools kids. And heads up drivers, major Franklin Avenue construction starts in May, closing the underpass for six months to fix floods, water lines, and boost bike-ped safety, so plan alternate routes to keep traffic flowing smoothly through our growing city.
This has been Bend Local Frequency. Well see you tomorrow with more local updates.
