Good morning, this is your Bend Local Frequency for Friday, March 7, 2025. We've got a packed weekend ahead, so let's dive right in. Winter PrideFest 2025 kicks off today and runs through Sunday, bringing a vibrant celebration of inclusivity and winter fun to our community. The festivities begin tonight with the Welcoming Snocial Party at Volcanic Theatre Pub, featuring drag performances, music, and mingling. Tomorrow, don't miss the WIGS Ice Breaker event at Seventh Mountain Resort, where you can ice skate with drag queens and enjoy family-friendly entertainment.
In other news, the Old Mill District's First Friday Art Walk returns this evening from 3 to 6 PM. It's a great opportunity to explore local creativity, with various galleries and shops showcasing artwork from regional talents. Speaking of art, the Tower Theatre is currently hosting a weeklong celebration of its history as a movie theater, featuring classic films from different decades at rollback prices.
For those looking to give back to the community, RylieMay Rescue Ranch is partnering with Spider City Brewing for a bingo night to support senior and disabled dogs. Head over there to play some games and enjoy a drink for a good cause.
Nature enthusiasts should be aware that a tree trunk is currently blocking the McKenzie River near Belknap Hot Springs, posing a navigation hazard. If you're planning any river activities, please exercise caution and stay informed about the situation.
Looking ahead to next week, the South Coast Clambake Music Festival is set to begin on March 13th at The Mill Casino. It's a great excuse for a short road trip if you're in the mood for some live music by the coast.
In local sports news, high school students in Coos County are preparing for future firefighter careers through a special program. It's inspiring to see our young community members taking an interest in such vital public service roles.
Lastly, a reminder that daylight saving time begins this Sunday, so don't forget to set your clocks forward an hour before bed on Saturday night.
