I just love Bend yearround. During the summer, let’s use our signals at the roundabouts, slow down passing the visiting bike tours, please keep your dog on a leash, and please try to remember this is high fire season, so use your ashtray in your car. For all the locals, remember we have two seasons here: winter we love and only 6 weeks of summer so smile, smile, smile at the tourists.

I Love Bend!
