  • Summary

  • Good morning, this is your Bend Local Frequency for March 1, 2025. We've got a packed weekend ahead, so let's dive right in. The Deschutes County Road Department is continuing work on the Hamehook Road Bridge Replacement east of Deschutes Market Road. Expect to see construction vehicles and equipment in the area during work hours from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday. Over in Terrebonne, crews are performing sewer work on 11th Street between F Avenue and US 97, with 11th Street closed to traffic in that area. Be sure to follow the signed detour routes if you're heading that way.

    For those looking to hit the slopes, Mt. Bachelor is gearing up for the 13th annual Big Wave Challenge, hosted by legendary big wave surfer Gerry Lopez. This unique snowboard contest features a custom-built course with wave-like features, bringing a taste of surfing to the mountains. It's definitely worth checking out if you're up for some winter fun.

    In downtown Bend, the Tower Theatre is screening the classic film "Singin' in the Rain" tomorrow for just 50 cents. It's a great opportunity to catch this beloved musical on the big screen. And for the little ones, the Downtown Bend Library is hosting an Infant Music Together Workshop on March 4th, perfect for introducing your baby to the world of music.

    Looking ahead to next week, Winter PrideFest kicks off on March 6th, celebrating inclusivity in the outdoors. Wanderlust Tours is offering a special Pride Bonfire Snowshoe Tour, complete with a 10% discount and free boot and pant rentals. It's a magical way to experience the forest at night while gathered around a glowing bonfire.

    For those interested in local business networking, ConnectW is hosting their monthly Munch & Mingle event on March 13th. This intimate gathering brings together professional women of Central Oregon for meaningful conversations and connections. Registration is required, and spots are limited to just 12 participants, so be sure to sign up early if you're interested.

    Lastly, a reminder that Cascade Lakes Highway and Paulina Lake Road remain closed for the winter season. The Deschutes County Road Department aims to have these roads reopened by Memorial Day, weather permitting.

    This has been Bend Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
