Bend Local Frequency: Spring Snow, Gas Relief, and Community Vibes
Published 1 week, 3 days ago
Description
Good morning, this is your Bend Local Frequency for Thursday, April 16.
Kicking off with a quick weather heads-up that impacts us all: a Winter Storm Warning hung over Central Oregon last night until 5 AM today, bringing fresh snow to the higher elevations around Bend. If youre heading out to the mountains for some late-spring turns, check those roads carefully as conditions ease up this morning, keeping drivers safer and ski ops running smooth at places like Mt. Bachelor.
On a brighter note, gas prices are giving us a little relief at the pump. Bends average for regular just dipped nearly six cents to $4.94 a gallon, part of a statewide drop amid buzz over potential U.S.-Iran peace talks that could steady oil markets. That means more cash in your pocket for local adventures, whether its filling up for a Cascade Lakes drive or grabbing brews downtown.
Sports fans, the Portland Trail Blazers pulled off a thrilling 114-110 win over the Suns on Tuesday, keeping NBA playoff hopes flickering and giving Central Oregon hoops lovers plenty to cheer about at their next watch party.
Dining scene is buzzing with change: The Drake in downtown Bend has closed its doors, but new owners including Peter Kost from Kens Artisan Pizza are transforming it into Olive and May, set to reopen this spring with fresh vibes and menu magic thatll draw crowds eager for innovative bites.
Tonight, cozy up at Wool Town for their recurring Knit Night starting at 6 PM, a perfect low-key way to connect with fellow crafters, swap tips, and unwind after a crisp spring day.
Looking ahead, climate activist Graham Zimmerman, fresh off his Climate Hero award, chatted with The Source about alpinism and advocacy, inspiring us to think local on sustainability. Young Hero Brennan Breen from Energize Bend is pushing electrification hard, reminding us how everyday swaps like heat pumps cut emissions and bills right here at home.
Mark your calendars: Central Oregon Mastersingers celebrate 20 years with We Are the Music Makers on April 25 at Tower Theatre, a soul-stirring show under conductor Christian Clark thatll fill you with community pride. CASAs Casablanca Masquerade Gala hits the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship on May 16, auctioning unique experiences to support kids in need. And dont sleep on Street Dog Heros 7th Annual Heroes on the Run 5K, 10K, and Kids Mini-run June 14 at The Old Mill, a fun family romp that aids pups in our backyard.
This has been Bend Local Frequency. Well see you tomorrow with more local updates.
