Good morning, this is your Bend Local Frequency for Sunday, August third. Waking up today in Central Oregon, you might notice that things are calmer after last night’s wild thunderstorms rolled through the area. Thunder, lightning, and some heavy bursts of rain kept power crews and first responders on their toes, especially in Southwest Bend, where over 390 customers lost power. Pacific Power crews worked late into the night, and electricity is steadily being restored across affected neighborhoods. While no major injuries or damage have been reported, local authorities remind everyone to stay prepared in case more unsettled weather swings through later today.Now, if you are planning to get out and about, today marks your final chance to experience the Deschutes County Fair and Rodeo in nearby Redmond. The big attraction has been the return of the Budweiser Clydesdales, who have not visited Central Oregon in over twenty years. The iconic horses are on display throughout the day, including meet and greets, hitching demos, and even a special evening appearance escorting scholarship recipients into the rodeo arena as part of a moving tribute to military families. Fair admission covers all of these activities, so don’t miss your chance to feel the thundering hooves and soak up some serious fair spirit.Music lovers can head over to downtown Bend where the Sunriver Music Festival continues its 48th season. Artistic Director Brett Mitchell is leading top-tier orchestra musicians in concerts at the Tower Theatre, with performances ranging from classical to pops and even solo piano recitals. If you’re curious about behind-the-scenes moments, several orchestra rehearsals are open to the public, and there are hands-on music education events for families and young music lovers.For something a little different, the High Desert Music Hall is hosting a Live Tom Petty Music, Somatic Movement, and Dreamstate Sound Bath event late this morning. It’s an immersive experience perfect for anyone looking to unwind, groove, or just try something totally new. If outdoor living is more your style, most high-elevation trails in the Cascades have finally melted out for the season, offering prime conditions for hiking and mountain adventures. Just keep an eye out for trail updates and occasional muddy patches after last night’s storms.There is a bit of a caveat for drivers today. Road construction season in Bend is at its summer peak, with more than a dozen active projects causing lane closures and slowed traffic. Whether you are heading out for errands or taking the scenic route home, plan a little extra time and watch for detours.Looking for family fun? Bend Park and Recreation opens registration for fall programs starting tomorrow, so if your kids want to try sports, swim lessons, or arts, be ready to secure your spot bright and early. And remember, local nonprofits are collecting school supplies for the coming academic year, so if you can donate, every little bit helps students in our community get off to a strong start.For the latest on safety, a quick shout to the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office and Bend Police for their fast response last week: they’ve reported that a missing juvenile was found safe and reunited with family, and crews took quick action during a fire at a building under construction on the east side, with no injuries reported.That’s your Bend Local Frequency for today. Whether you are taking in a fair, heading to a concert, or just enjoying the great outdoors, there’s plenty happening across our hometown. 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
