July Green Drinks is for the Makers!
Join us Thursday, July 11 at Open Space Event Studios from 5-7pm for Green Drinks with the High Desert Makers!
This particular Makers event is designed to give Makers of All Ages, who are dedicated to responsible environmental stewardship, a place to show and tell (and sell) what you make and why. There are creators of all ages out there who use materials that promote a circular economy, upcycle waste-stream-diverted materials, and re-imagine uses for existing materials. Some makers create music, stories, theater, performances, and other art that requires very few material things at all.

Eco Hero Camp Success!
Our first week of summer camp was a splash, thanks to our dedicated Youth Education team, awesome campers, and the partners who made it all come together. We’d like to especially thank Commute Options, The Gear Fix, Central Oregon Locavore, Sunlight Solar, and the Bend Farmer’s Market for creating a wonderful Eco Heroes experience.
