If you thought life in Bend was all about the outdoors, you're missing out! While we love our beer and bike rides, there is so much more! We also like to embrace the arts and have devoted an entire month to it. "Tenth Month" in Bend is a celebration of art, culture, film, tech, and business. This month-long series of events is definitely something you don't want to miss. A couple of events you don't want to check out:

• Bend Indie Film - 10/6-10/9
• Swivel Design Conference - 10/10-10/11
• Bend Venture Investment Conference - 10/13-10/14
• Bend Design Conference - 10/20-10/21
• TEDXBend Women - 10/29

Follow along and join in on the festivities!
