 2010 Bend WinterFest | Feb 12 - 14, 2010 While it seems a little like Spring all over Bend, we’re still in the heart of Winter. To get yourself back in the Wintery swing of things, gather the crew together and head over to one of Bend’s finest events, the 2010 Bend WinterFest.
This year’s event will be, once again, hosted at the Shops at the Old Mill, February 12-14th. The WF is an annual three-day festival of snow sports, demonstrations, music, wine, and food. I remember the days the event was hosted downtown, which was my personal favorite. I like the whole old-school vibe that downtown exudes. Plus, it was a nice little boost for the locally-owned downtown businesses, but I get the reason for the switch. (more…)

Business Manager of 900 Wall Restaurant
 New Year's Eve at 900 Wall Restaurant What are you doing for New Year’s Eve this year? Don’t know? We’ve got your answer.
After a wildly successful year we’re throwing a huge New Year’s Eve party to say thanks to Bend and to bring in 2010. We’ve really come full circle. This time last year, the economy was tanking and Merenda Restaurant was closing down. Now here we are a full year in as 900 Wall Restaurant & Bar and it’s been a great ride. We can’t say thanks enough to Bend and our guests for their unwavering support and making 900 Wall one of Downtown’s favorite dining experiences.
So, here’s what we’ve got going on for New Year’s Eve. A little payback to our loyal friends.
1st Seating | 5pm-8pm: We’ll be featuring an ala carte menu for this first dinner service. You’ll want to make your reservations soon. The first seating is about 80% full and will probably be 100% by tomorrow. (more…)
