Apparently in addition to the other 4th of July activities and the Freedom Ride on Sunday, there was also a “zombie walk” through the Park; KTVZ has several photos in a slideshow, but did anyone else catch any video or anything?

National Beard and Moustache Championships

Saturday, June 5th, the “first national facial hair championship held in the USA” descends on Bend (coincidentally the same weekend as Balloons Over Bend) and competitors vie for the best beards.

Here’s the email I got tonight (I bolded the date): Hey! Last years festival was great for a first time event! And surprising how many people … Continue reading
Weird find of the day

Weird find of the day
Saw this today when I was going to the bank: Yes, the "Bend Master Assassin Tournament." It was stuck to one of the free newspaper boxes you see downtown. And yes, the MySpace address is live, too. I’m not sure what to make of it. It sounds like it could … Continue reading
