Gus Orviston is a young fly fisherman who leaves behind his comically schizoid family to find his own path.

Step back in time to when baseball was pastime and commerce.

This is an in-person program.

Baseball in Bend has a long history. Over time the local game has grown from town teams and semi-pro players to Major League Baseball farm organizations and into the familiar collegiate West Coast League we lovingly watch and follow today. Step back in time with Vanessa Ivey, museum manager of the Deschutes County Historical Society & Museum as she shares stories of an earlier era when baseball wasn't just a favorite pastime, but a way to build commerce in communities. Where the swat of the wood bat rang true whether you were a Bend Babe or a Bend Elk and twirling and hurling wasn't a county fair ride description.

Vanessa Ivey
As Deschutes Historical Museum's manager for the past thirteen years, Vanessa Ivey is in the best position to research one of her favorite things...BASEBALL! At a young age she fell in love with the hardball sport following games both over the radio and watching on the family's 13- inch black and white Zenith. As both player and fan Vanessa grew up in Banks, Oregon, later attending Lewis and Clark College where she received her Bachelor of Science degree. She moved to Bend when the Bandits were still taking the field off Wilson Ave. She continues to attend summer baseball games at Genna Stadium, travels to Seattle to watch Mariner vs Yankee games, and has recently returned from Tampa, Florida where she attended Women's Fantasy Baseball Camp playing ball with a few of her favorite Yankee greats.

What’s pysanky? Ukrainian egg decorating! Make a version for yourself.

El Instituto de Cultura Oregoniana, Western Oregon University y el Consulado de México en Portland tienen el placer de invitarles a la presentación del libro “Los orígenes hispanos de Oregón” en la Biblioteca Pública de la ciudad de Bend

Esta publicación muestra más de 250 años de historia poco conocida del noroeste de los Estados Unidos, ofreciendo ejemplos de la diversidad étnica de los equipos expedicionarios hispanos y presentando historias de la exploración de la costa del Pacífico que normalmente no aparecen en los libros de historia. “Los orígenes hispanos de Oregón” es la primera publicación académica del Noroeste del Pacífico que se ha realizado completamente en español y contribuye al empoderamiento cultural e histórico de la población hispana de los Estados Unidos.

“Este libro es especial porque expone el hecho de que la presencia hispana en lo que hoy son los estados de Oregón y Washington ha existido por cientos de años”, dijo el director ejecutivo del Instituto de Cultura Oregoniana, Matías Trejo De Dios. “Estamos orgullosos de poder presentar una perspectiva cultural más detallada, del pasado de la costa del Pacífico de los Estados Unidos, que cambiará la forma en que vemos la historia de nuestros estados y la del país".

Western Oregon University es una de las instituciones públicas de educación superior más antiguas de Oregón y fue establecida en 1856. El Instituto de Cultura Oregoniana es una organización sin fines de lucro que promueve la cultura hispanohablante de Oregón y promueve los beneficios del multilingüismo en la sociedad.En colaboración con Latino Community Association.

A historical view of the Hispanic presence on the coast of North America from 1543-1819.

This is an in-person event.

A literary publication shows new details of US history. This work documents more than 250 years of the little-known history of the US Pacific Northwest.

The Instituto de Cultura Oregoniana (ICO), Western Oregon University and the Consulate of Mexico in Portland are pleased to invite you to the presentation of The Hispanic Origins of Oregon, a collaborative work that chronicles the era of trade between Native Americans, Hispanics, British and Russians along the Pacific coast of North America.

This publication traces more than 250 years of the little-known history of the Northwestern United States, offering examples of the ethnic diversity of Hispanic expeditionary teams and featuring stories of Pacific Coast exploration that don't usually appear in history books. The Hispanic Origins of Oregon is the first scholarly publication from the Pacific Northwest to be produced entirely in Spanish and contributes to the cultural and historical empowerment of the Hispanic population in the United States.

“This book is special because it exposes the fact that the Hispanic presence in what is now the states of Oregon and Washington has existed for hundreds of years,” said the executive director of the ICO, Matías Trejo De Dios. “We are proud to be able to present a more detailed cultural perspective of America's Pacific Rim past that will change the way we view the history of our states and our country."

Western Oregon University is one of the oldest public institutions of higher learning in Oregon and was established in 1856. The Institute of Oregonian Culture is a non-profit organization that promotes the Spanish-speaking culture of Oregon and the benefits of multilingualism in society.

In partnership with Latino Community Association.

This work is free and accessible to everyone through the "Open Oregon - Educational Resources" platform; https://openoregon.pressbooks.pub/origeneshispanosoregon/. Anyone interested in a physical copy can obtain one on the day of the event. *ani* *ls*

Understand how insects impact the world around us.

This is an in-person program.

Can you name a dozen types of trees? Flowers? Mammals? Probably.
Can you name a dozen types of the most abundant animals on earth? Maybe not.

There are more types of insects on earth than all the other animals and plants combined, yet we know so little about them. Scientists estimate that half of the insects on this planet haven’t even been discovered yet!

We’re surrounded by tiny critters with fascinating lives that perform critical ecosystem functions. Not only are they feeding larger animals, pollinating flowers, and recycling organic matter, but there are insects that skate on water, form complex societies, mate in mid-air, and live their entire adult lives without eating!

Insects are hard to appreciate if you don’t know what you’re looking at. Come and learn to identify the common insects of Central Oregon. Then the next time a little critter lands on you, instead of swatting it, you can take a closer look and say, “Oh look, a ___________!” “Wow, have you ever seen antennae like that?”

After a career working as an entomologist in Virginia, Bermuda, and Oregon, Dan retired to Sunriver. Now an amateur naturalist, he enjoys observing nature at all scales, including the smallest of creatures.
