Your Bend Events is dead.

The newsletter is no longer in operation.

The go-to newsletter for
things to do in Bend.

Hey Reader,

Some unfortunate news... I'm shutting down Your Bend Events and this will be the last edition. Long story short...

  • It's a pretty significant time commitment. I started this mostly for me– I missed some events earlier in the year and saw my personal research as an opportunity to share with others. This newsletter and social account has been a pretty significant time investment... one that is not sustainable for me without advertising or local partnerships as I already own/operate another business. Consistency is difficult when I travel for work.
  • I'm not interested in competing. I started this newsletter in May. About a month ago, some other person in Bend started a newsletter doing the same thing. It seems foolish to have 2 local newsletters providing the same info, especially when I'm feeling stretched on time. Go follow "The Bend Buzz" instead. But, if anyone's interested in carrying on this effort, please reply to this email.

Thanks for the few months, and I'll see you around at events in Bend.
