Happy Fourth everyone!

Busy weekend here in Bend, figured I'd post some happenings.

• First Friday Artwalk, downtown Bend
• Mt. Bachelor's opened the slopes for this weekend, cheap lift tickets, free JulySki Tee's for the first 250 lift tickets sold each day; lovely weather and still deep snow!
• July 4th: Pet Parade downtown
• July 4th: Drake Park for live music, food and craft vendors. Your's Truly will have a booth selling books, postcards, photo prints. Already have a copy of AAB? Bring it down to get signed!
• July 4th: Minesota Ave block party downtown, hosted by the small businesses on Minnesota. Starts at the same time as pet parade, runs through 3pm
• July 4th: Fireworks off Pilot Butte. You can probably expect the butte to catch fire once again...
