SUMMARY:November Green Drinks @ The NEW Gear Fix
DESCRIPTION:Every other month\, The Environmental Center and our Green Spot business partners host Green Drinks – a networking event with a mix of business and community members. \nKeeping Gear (and People) Going!\nThis month\, we’ll be checking out The Gear Fix’s new space. This shop is an important part of our outdoor community here in Bend\, and we’re excited to see them expanding to a larger space – twice the size of their old location (or 7\,000 square feet to be exact). The new space\, built around 1915\, has some history behind it too. It used to be a “box factory” as part of the Mill! \nThe Gear Fix is a consignment shop that specializes in repairing and servicing any gear that gets you outside. If you can repair your favorite jacket\, a reliable backpack or a great pair of boots instead of buying something new – why wouldn’t you? Repairing instead of replacing prevents waste and saves resources! \nGoing forward\, this larger space will allow the Gear Fix team to bring their repair shop down to ground level where consumers can see repairs in action while shopping around. Making this service visible and highlighting repairs will allow Gear Fix to encourage people to treat their purchases like an investment\, and to think twice before disposing any gear. Of course\, we love this concept! \nCome learn more about what Gear Fix is all about and what they have in store for 2016. \nPlease note the new address: 550 Industrial Way in Old Mill Marketplace. (Not to be confused with “The Old Mill”!) Located between Webcylery & Atlas Cider.  \nGreen Drinks is an international concept and is an enjoyable way to network\, learn about local businesses and their sustainability efforts\, and have an eco-conscious drink or two!  Bring your own cup and consider carpooling\, walking\, biking or transit to get to the event! \n

SUMMARY:Small Business Saturday
DESCRIPTION:Hey holiday shoppers! Let’s celebrate the uniqueness\, charm\, and economic impact that local makers and small businesses bring to Bend! Let’s #ShopSmall! November 28\, 2015! \nThe Workhouse has embraced the tradition of Small Business Saturday and is hosting a huge celebration including a special $10 Sale in addition to our monthly Last Saturday festivities of live music\, an artist’s reception\, and libations. Last Saturday Festivities are big here at The Old Ironworks Arts District\, Bend OR with amazing goodness from our neighbors Stuart’s of Bend\,Cindercone Clay Center\, Armature- a creative space\, Tambi Lane Photography\, The Sparrow Bakery\, and Junque in Bloom LLC. \nDuring the Day (9a-5p) \n•The ANNUAL $10 SALE provides something for everyone\, even those with small budgets. Our 8 studio artists will create jewelry\, Christmas Ornaments\, art prints\, and more offering them at $10 ea\, only during Small Business Saturday.\n•We have also filled our shelves with fine art and goods from more than 60 local makers! \nDuring the Evening (6-9p):\n•Music by B Side Brass Band – brings the New Orleans Brass Band Tradition to the Pacific NorthWest. This brassy sextet promises to get you moving and grooving\, sweating up the dance floor\, and moving your B(ack)side to the beat. The sound is fresh\, energetic\, and raw. Members include: Steve Pool (sousaphone)\, Marc Saccoman (trumpet)\, Dale Largent (drums)\, Gabe Shonerd (drums)\, Jim Cajacob (horns)\, and Rick Murphy (horns). \n•Artist’s Reception: The work of local collagist Kaycee Anseth Collage and Creation will be featured for the month of December with the Artist present for a reception during the Last Saturday evening. Anseth uses discarded fashion and home decor magazines as her fodder for creating intricately detailed collages that explore the realms of myth and fairytale as they pertain to personal narrative. Her process is akin to painting with paper\, incorporating the eye-popping palettes of high-gloss advertising into both intricate patterns and whimsical figures. \n•Libations by mixologists that take the term “craft” seriously will be offered. The Root Cellar (founded by Anna Witham) combines storytelling with delicious refreshment. BackDrop Distilling will be sampling cocktails made with doTERRA International Essential Oils and Essential Balance will be sampling Chocolates made with Doterra Essential Oils.
