This will be my second time in Bend, Oregon for their annual Bend Fall Festival. I enjoyed my time tremendously. I met so many great people and customers.

I had thought I would set up the night before, so I came into town early to set up, only to read the fine print about setting up early in the morning on the first day of the event. I drove up to Mount Bachelor and spent several hours on the side of the lake basking in the autumn sunshine and doing watercolor painting. I swam in the lake to cool down and enjoyed this beautiful area.

Bend, Oregon is such an active city. A beuatiful bike trail runs along the river and I made sure to ride my bicycle as often as possible.

This time around, I will be bringing my puppy, Kaela with me. We haven’t figured out how to bicycle together, but I know we will walk along the path and she will keep me entertained.

Hope to see you there!
