Winter PrideFest, Clean Energy, and Wildfire Prep: Bend's Weekend Highlights
Good morning, this is your Bend Local Frequency for March 8, 2025. As we kick off the weekend, Bend is buzzing with excitement for Winter PrideFest 2025, which is in full swing. The festival, celebrating the LGBTQ+ community, continues today with a variety of events across the city. One of the highlights is the Winter PrideFest Dance Party at Silver Moon Brewing tonight, featuring RuPaul's Drag Race star Yvie Oddly. Doors open at 8 PM, and the party goes until the early hours.
For those looking for family-friendly activities, head over to Seventh Mountain Resort for WIGS - An Ice Breaker. This all-ages event combines ice skating with drag performances, DJs, and more. The fun starts at 4 PM and runs until 8 PM.
In other news, the Central Oregon Community College is hosting the Go Clean Energy Conference today from 8:30 AM to 4 PM. This event brings together experts and enthusiasts to discuss sustainable energy solutions for our region.
Outdoor enthusiasts will be pleased to hear that the weekly road construction update has been released. While there are ongoing projects, most major routes remain open for weekend adventures. Speaking of which, the snow report looks promising for skiers and snowboarders heading up to Mt. Bachelor this weekend.
For those interested in local politics, the Deschutes County Commissioners recently voted 2-1 to appeal State wildfire hazard map designations. This decision could have significant implications for property owners and fire management strategies in our area.
Looking ahead, the annual Central Oregon Sportsmen's Show is set to return to Redmond next weekend. It's a great opportunity to check out the latest gear and connect with fellow outdoor enthusiasts.
In community news, the county is offering free yard debris disposal ahead of wildfire season. This initiative aims to help residents create defensible spaces around their homes and reduce fire risks.
For beer lovers, Moosehead Breweries has made headlines with their unique "Presidential Pack" - a crate of 1,461 beers designed to help Canadians get through the next four years. While it's not available here in Bend, it's certainly sparked conversations about our own craft beer scene.
Finally, don't forget that Daylight Saving Time begins tomorrow. Remember to set your clocks forward one hour before bed tonight.
This has been Bend Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
