Listen to some info about this year’s rodeo and one of Central Oregon’s longest running events.

Craig Morgan was in the house at the Century Center last night and the sold out crowd got to see a great show by a truly talented artist. The first of this summer’s Century Center concert series, next up Smashmouth on June 24th.

We’ve got a hot weekend on tap. First Friday, live music, and a block party! Get out there and enjoy it!

The Juniors of the Bend Endurance Academy Enduro Team have been practicing the inside lines, working on their starts and scoping all the drops for the Bend Enduro coming up this weekend on the Wanoga trails.

Come out and race with us, or find a cool spot in the woods to cheer on the racers!

Packrafting allows a new way of experiencing the wilderness. We hike boats in, and paddle out. The Minam River wilderness run is in North Eastern Oregon, a 13 mile hike in, 40 mile boat out. Read more about the adventure here.

(Watch in 1080 HD for best viewing) The trails are riding just fine right now. We got to hang with the Cog Wild crew for an evening ride west of Bend as they got a tour of the Deschutes Collaborative Forest Project with Nicole Strong (OSU Extension Service) and Pete Caligiuri (The Nature Conservancy).  We learned about the restoration project that is happening in the forest of Central Oregon.  A featured video is coming to tell that story. In the meantime, there was a little fun to be had while on the tour. Get out there and enjoy the weekend people!!!

When we’re fortunate, our backyard gets to expand just a little bit. Our friend Jill Rosell recently returned from a trip to Guatemala. Check out her slide show. You’ll want to back your bags and have an adventure! Thanks Jill. Your photos, as always, are captivating!
