Good morning, this is your Bend Local Frequency for Thursday, February 19th.

We're seeing some exciting changes in Bend's food scene this week. The Jackalope Grill in downtown Bend is closing its doors after this month, with its final night coming up on February 28th. But there's good news for those who love that space. The restaurant has been sold and will reopen as Rosemary and Fox in mid-March, helmed by Chef Josh Podwils and his wife Kate. The name draws inspiration from Chef Josh's favorite herb, and early word suggests it'll be worth the wait.

If you haven't checked out Bacon Bar and Brunch near downtown Redmond yet, now's your chance. They celebrated their grand opening on February 5th with a full menu featuring everything from standard breakfast fare to specialty bacon dishes including candied bacon and bacon omelets. For those looking for something different, Stacks Dinner and Delicatessen just opened in the Old Mill District, bringing New York City deli vibes with a Pacific Northwest twist.

Speaking of dining, The Hudson, a live-fire chophouse and social club, officially opened to the public yesterday at 900 NW Wall Street. They're taking reservations and specializing in steaks, chops, and seafood prepared over wood and charcoal flames.

On the cultural side, we've got quite a bit happening. There's a new exhibit at the Bowman Museum called Soul of the Land, featuring quilts by local artist June Jaeger. And a new tea and art lounge called Teal is opening in downtown Bend in March next to Deschutes Brewery, designed as a creative and welcoming space for the community.

For entertainment tonight, you can catch Boeing Boeing at Cascades Theatrical Company at 7:30 p.m., or head to The Abbey for The Hobbit Movies Trivia Night starting at 6 p.m. If you're feeling adventurous, there's the Bend Blitz Scavenger Hunt happening today starting at Looney Bean of Bend.

If you prefer outdoor activities, snowshoe tours are running through late March at Mt. Bachelor with Forest Service volunteer rangers offering 90-minute guided hikes at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. on weekends. And don't miss the Winter Carnival at Hoodoo on February 28th, featuring free activities like ax throwing, snow sculpture contests, and a 40-year tradition of winter fun.

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