Good morning, this is your Bend Local Frequency for Wednesday, August 20. Let’s start with what’s fresh in town. The City of Bend is hosting an Open House at Reed Market and 15th Street tomorrow, giving folks a peek at planned roundabout improvements. If you’ve ever navigated that intersection during rush hour, you’ll know how welcome that news is. Community members are encouraged to show up, ask questions, and weigh in on what comes next for Bend’s busy corridors. The weeks ahead are packed with events. For those eager to mix a little movement with their evening pint, FootZone has the Pub Run to Boss Rambler Beer Club tonight at 5:30. Get your running shoes laced and your thirst ready. If networking is more your speed, Midtown Yacht Club is hosting the Opportunity Knocks August Mixer tomorrow afternoon, a great spot to connect with local business leaders and creative thinkers. Music fans and river lovers, brace yourselves for Bend’s biggest concert month ever. According to the buzz downtown, the Old Mill District isn’t slowing down, with shows from Tedeschi Trucks Band, Whiskey Myers, LCD Soundsystem, and more just around the corner. Don’t forget to check out the Ticket Mill for passes and updates. If outdoor adventure is on your mind, remember that with temps approaching triple digits, safety’s a must—bring life jackets, closed-toe shoes, and sober friends for those river floats or SUP days. Pack out what you pack in and consider a guided tour if you’re new to Bend’s waters. This Friday, Worthy Brewing hosts a unique workshop on saving seeds from native plants, perfect for gardeners or ecology enthusiasts looking to enrich their backyard biodiversity. Saturday night promises laughter with “THE DOSE: A Psychedelic Comedy Experience” at Bunk+Brew, a show that blends standup, storytelling, and Bend’s signature outdoor vibe. And for choral fans, Heritage Hall is the spot Thursday for the Voices Rising one-day choir event—no experience required, just a love for song. Turning to the local headlines, the fallout continues for displaced campers from the China Hat area. The 90-day grace period for retrieving belongings expired on August 1, and many personal items—including vehicles and irreplaceable keepsakes—have now become federal property. Some campers found themselves unable to reclaim what mattered most, highlighting ongoing concerns about support and accountability as Bend’s population grows and outdoor spaces are managed more tightly. Don’t let your week slip by without stopping by Brooks Alley for the Bend Farmers Market today, where the scent of fresh berries and flowers mixes with picnic-ready eats from Farmer’s Deli. End your shopping spree with local scoops from Bonta Gelato, and catch the golden hour from a downtown balcony. It’s midweek magic right in the heart of Bend. Looking ahead, mark your calendar for August 31 and the highly anticipated Bend Comedy Festival, which brings together national acts, up-and-coming talent, and plenty of local laughs for a rollicking weekend. 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
