Good morning, this is your Bend Local Frequency for Monday, October 13th, 2025.
Let’s kick off the week with a look at what’s happening right here in Bend and our Central Oregon backyard. If you woke up to snow in the higher elevations, you are not imagining things. A Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect until early this afternoon, so drivers should expect slick conditions over the passes and those venturing out early should give themselves extra time and take it slow. Weather like this brings out the cozy in Bend, so if you are downtown later today, why not treat yourself? The historic Blacksmith Restaurant opens at 4 p.m. for happy hour in the lounge and some of Bend’s boldest cuisine. If you’re more in the mood for laughs, Beertown is hosting its Comedy Open Mic tonight at 6:30. Sign up, take the stage, or settle in for a night of local standup—either way, you can expect some much-needed comic relief.
If you love the performing arts and live music, there are tickets still available for the production of “Almost, Maine,” happening at the Unity Community of Central Oregon. This heartwarming play about love and loss under the Northern Lights runs throughout the week, and is one of those local events that remind us why the arts matter so much in small towns. Jazz fans, take note—Kennedy School in Bend will be grooving tonight, and tickets for some upcoming jazz performances are in high demand, so check your favorite venues for details as fall’s music season heats up.
On the sports front, Mountain View High hosts an important meeting for the Central Oregon Officials Association this afternoon, and our own Head Football Coach Brian Crum and star lineman Cody Calvert were recently featured in episode 18 of Beyond the Score, shining a spotlight on Bend’s local athletic talent and the growing buzz around Friday night games. If that gives you the itch for community and trivia, there’s a special session of Trivia Prost this week on Wednesday, so grab some friends and put your local knowledge to the test.
A reminder as well to property owners—the North Cascade District has officially ended fire season. That means residential burns are now permitted, but officials urge everyone to remain careful: never burn on windy days and never leave a fire unattended. Even as the risk drops, we all have a role in keeping our forests safe.
And before we go, a quick nod to breast cancer awareness month—Pink Lemonade Project continues to support hundreds in our region with education and services for patients and families. If this cause is close to your heart, now is a great time to get involved or learn more.
That’s a wrap on your Bend Local Frequency for Monday. Bundle up for the chilly start, make your plans, and don’t forget to check in on neighbors as the seasons begin to shift. This has been Bend Local Frequency. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
