I recently moved here from Anchorage, Alaska, and I’ve become a faithful reader of The Source Weekly. It’s one of my “go to” places to look for events and information in the Bend and Redmond area.

This past issue on “Why Local Matters” was fantastic! I really enjoyed reading about some of the stories of local businesses and seeing their passion to make it here in Bend. As a wannabe foodie, my list of places to try out is now doubled thanks to all the ads too! All of the positive karma here just confirms my decision to move here!
