  • Summary

  • Good morning, this is your Bend Local Frequency for Saturday, February 22, 2025.

    Yesterday evening, a garage fire threatened an east Bend home, but thanks to the quick response of Bend Fire & Rescue, the fire was extinguished before it could spread to the primary residence. The fire, which was determined to be unintentional and electrical in nature, caused approximately $250,000 worth of damages to the structure and vehicles. This incident highlights the importance of working smoke alarms and defensible space around homes and structures, especially as we continue into the winter season.

    On a lighter note, there are plenty of fun activities to enjoy in Bend this weekend. Tonight, the Tower Theatre is hosting Mountainfilm on Tour: Bend-Night Two, an annual fundraiser for The Environmental Center. This event showcases incredible documentary films that are sure to inspire and educate. Also happening today is the Monster Truck Nitro Tour at the Deschutes County Fair & Expo Center, where you can see these massive vehicles compete in racing and freestyle action.

    For families, the Downtown Bend Library is offering Family Story Time on Wednesdays and Thursdays, featuring stories, songs, and rhymes designed to support early literacy skill development and social emotional awareness for children aged 0-5 years. Additionally, Namaspa Yoga is offering a Kids Yoga Teacher Training program, perfect for parents or educators who want to share the benefits of yoga and mindfulness with children.

    Looking ahead to next week, the High Desert Museum is hosting Museum & Me on February 27, providing a quieter time for children and adults with physical, intellectual, and/or social disabilities to enjoy the museum after hours. And on February 28, Mountain View High School is presenting Roald Dahl's Matilda the Musical, a captivating stage adaptation of the beloved novel.

    In other news, road construction updates include grading work at the Hamehook Road Bridge east of Deschutes Market Road and sewer work on 11th Street between F Avenue and U.S. 97. Cascade Lakes Highway and Paulina Lake Road remain closed for the winter season.

    Finally, don't forget to check out the various events happening in Bend throughout February and March, including Zwickelmania, Winter PrideFest, and the Bend Brews & Beyond festival. For more information on these and other events, visit visitbend.com.
