Sterling Savings Bank Bite of Bend

The Sterling Savings Bank Bite of Bend and Lay It Out Events would like to thank all of the sponsors, vendors, musicians and attendees for making the 2010 Bite of Bend Festival what many of the 25,000 attendees are calling “The Best Bite of All Time!”

Downtown Bend on Bond Street

The Sterling Savings Bank Bite of Bend, held on June 26th & 27th in Downtown Bend, is Central Oregon’s most exciting and fastest-growing charity event and festival. This event is free to the public and includes a wide array of activities such as the live Top Chef competition, performance stage, beer garden, fine food and wine, the 2nd Annual Beer Run, as well as a children’s area; not to mention local food booths offering “bites” of their locally created provisions.

The mission of The Sterling Savings Bank Bite of Bend is to celebrate our local culture and create an event that highlights the foods of our region. The Oregon Marketplace showcases Oregon Wines and Liquors. The majority of our entertainment is also local. In this way, businesses that support our event benefit from the network of goodwill associated with The Bite of Bend.

Created as a way to raise additional funds for local charities, the Bite drew 20,000 attendees in 2008 and was even larger in 2009. Thanks to all the wonderful people who came out to support the Bite of Bend, we were able to raise a substantial amount of money for local charities. Since its inception in 2003, The Bite of Bend has raised over $30,000 for charitable causes.

Join us for The Bite of Bend 2010 and celebrate the fabulous foods of Oregon!

Charity

Since it’s inception in 2003, the Bite Of Bend has raised over $30,000 for charitable causes. The beneficiary of the 2010 Bite of Bend is the Kids Center

The Kids Intervention and Diagnostic Service Center provides abused children with a safe, friendly place to begin healing. The Kids Center serves over 450 children each year through medical evaluations and counseling. Because many services are available under one roof, they provide consistency and help ensure that no child or family falls through the cracks. The Kids Center offers two main services: medical evaluations and counseling. Other services include coordinating the annual Blue Ribbon Campaign in April, coordinating the Deschutes County Multi-Disciplinary Team, and consulting/training for other counties in Central and Eastern Oregon.
