This month, our Neighborhood News is brought to you by Skipper, Discovery West’s spokesdog, who was born a Valentine (yes, his birthday is February 14!).
At the top of Skipper’s list for winter fun is Bend Winterfest, centered in Bend’s Old Mill District. The weekend-long event from February 16-18th features live music and entertainment, a craft marketplace, art installations, delicious food and drinks and more.
