This week, you don't want to miss the Vanilla Burban Pecan gelato from Bonta's Gelato's Downtown Scoop Shop. This is the real deal - Bend's own C.W. Irwin straight bourbon from Oregon Spirit Distillers, which has been aged for three years in a medium char, new American oak barrel. The good stuff is blended with 100% pure Madagascar bourbon vanilla and layered with hand-roasted, salted, and buttered pecans from the Schermer Farm in Georgia.

In-person or online, we've made it easy for you to support local Downtown Bend merchants: For a list of Downtown Bend businesses: click here, for online shopping links: click here, for curbside pick-up and delivery from Downtown Bend restaurants: click here. Thanks for supporting your local Bend families! Remember, we're in this together and we need you!
