Quirky Al Fresco Theatre Action

Hi all ... sorry for the super late notice on this ... but if you haven't heard ... we're helpin' the Sparrow Bakery crew put on a super nice al fresco cinema get together this Thursday the 26th at 8PM at the bakery. 50 SE Scott ... as Colorado (heading east) turns the corner and becomes Scott ...

Outdoor movie ... old fashioned homemade concessions by the Sparrow (who make some of the best food ever if you hadn't heard) and Erica doing beverages. Just a nice bite of offbeat good times to start off your weekend. :)  And the bakery is curing some of their own meats and making some really great homemade stuff.  Here is the official writeup from Whitney:

Culinary Cinema @ The Sparrow Bakery

The Sparrow Bakery would like to announce a summer long, open air film series to take place at the bakery on the last Thursday of each month, June, July, and August. The films will each have a culinary theme and include two recently released documentaries and one classic drama. The event will be free, family friendly, and more of a “sit-in” then a “drive-in” - moviegoers will be asked to bring their own chair in an effort to keep the event low budget. There will be old-fashioned concessions and non-alcoholic hand made ginger ale provided for sale by The Sparrow, and beer, wine, and cocktails provided for sale by Plum. The overarching purpose of this series is twofold: 1) To give thanks for continued support despite tightened budgets, the Sparrow would like to offer a free community event to help families, friends, and neighbors enjoy the summer without breaking bank. Moviegoers will be asked to bring their own chairs and blankets, and to remain relatively good-humored about the “rustic” nature of our theater, but otherwise the movies are our gift of respite. 2). The second intention behind the event is to introduce a new Bend campaign to support local business. “Make Local Habit” is an organization of local business owners encouraging the Bend community to make their purchases with locally owned and operated, independent small businesses. During a recession it is most important to remember that small businesses give a town its identity; buying local keeps money in the local economy and reduces gas miles needed to deliver product. Buying local is a win win win. So our film series is essentially a gift to the community and in return we simply ask that they make efforts, big and small, to support the local economy. It should be a kick.
