Good morning, this is your Bend Local Frequency for Sunday, August 10, 2025.After a cool and breezy Bend sunrise, we’re welcoming a wave of weekend happenings and community updates across the city. If you’re feeling inspired to get out and move, runners from all over Oregon kicked up dust on our trails yesterday for the 21st annual Haulin Aspen marathon and half marathon out in beautiful Deschutes National Forest. The event was more than just a race—it doubled as the USATF Oregon Mountain Trail Championships, drawing avid athletes for both the challenge and sweeping views. Whether you ran, cheered, or are still untangling your shoelaces at home, congratulations to all who laced up for the adventure.Music and culture aren’t taking a back seat either. Faith Hope & Charity Vineyards played host last night to The Substitutes, Central Oregon’s longtime classic rock outfit, with crowds enjoying award-winning wines and a backdrop of sunset-lit vineyards. If you missed it, don’t worry—the vineyard’s summer concert series continues throughout August, so consider penciling in a night of tunes under the stars. Over in Sunriver, the annual Sunriver Art Show wraps up today, welcoming families to stroll through The Village and discover handcrafted art from local and regional creators until three this afternoon.On the animal welfare front, we have a heartwarming call to action: the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office and Humane Society of Central Oregon are seeking loving homes for a dozen Toy Australian Shepherds rescued from neglect in Tumalo. These pups are healthy but need a patient, caring adopter to help them bloom. You can meet them in person or learn about supporting their care at the Humane Society’s SE 27th Street shelter.In city news, affordable housing remains top of mind, with Bend City Council recently approving over five million dollars toward new developments. But some big projects, like the much-anticipated new City Hall in the Central District, are still on the slow track while planners navigate funding and future vision for the district. Local business owners see the project as make-or-break for revitalizing the area and unlocking badly needed mixed-use housing.Safety heads up for residents: Bend police are urging the public to stay vigilant as reports of scams are on the rise. Take time to verify unknown calls and remember, official agencies won’t demand payment over the phone.Looking ahead, late summer brings a packed calendar. The Bend Comedy Festival is set to return August 29, with over twenty events around town, featuring national headliners and Oregon’s funniest locals. And beer lovers can look forward to the Bend Beer Run and the Reggae Rise Up Oregon Music Festival, both at the end of the month, bringing together unique brews, rhythm, and community spirit.That’s today’s Bend Local Frequency—where the mountains meet moments that matter in everyday life. This has been Bend Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.For more http://www.quietplease.aiGet the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI
