April 14-15, 2012It is with great enthusiasm that we welcome the most elusive of our Central Oregon seasons into the fold! NorthWest Crossing Drive, off Mt. Washington Drive, between Skyliners and Shevlin Park Roads, will come alive, as we utilize art, food, spirits, music, and family-oriented activities to usher in Spring!
Friday, April 13, 6-9pm
Kick off the weekend with the Cascade School of Music Art and Wine Bop! From 6-9pm, CSM faculty will perform, free wine samples will be served, and hand-selected, festival artists will be featured, all within the cozy, warm, and covered confines of various NorthWest Crossing Neighborhood Center merchants and restaurants.
Street Chalk Art Competition
Saturday, April 14
"Pull your best Picasso” by entering the Street Chalk Art Competition (for both adults and kids) and qualify to win one of 8 cash prizes (including $750 prize for the chalk mural voted “best” in the adult category). The space is free, chalk will be provided (although you can bring your own), your images must be appropriate and feature “spring theme”-- you can pre-register with sarah@c3events.com – or you can “walk up” to compete, assuming spaces will still be available for walk ups.

Located on the south end of Fort Clatsop
Watch as your children’s jaws drop in amazement when they round the corner to the north end of Fort Clotsap and see our Spring into Fun Family Area. Music, pony rides, ballet dancers, giant puppets, stilt walkers, arts & crafts, face painting, not to mention a kids stage, petting zoo, rock wall, super bungee, bike rodeo and inflatable rides!
On the musical side of things, The Cascade School of Music will be back with their musical petting zoo and on-site free guitar lessons. The Wacky Percussion Ensemble offers a chance for your kids to play some traditional, and perhaps not so traditional, drums and percussion instruments. Be sure to check out the school’s booth space to make and decorate your own take-home instrument.
For active and adventurous kids, The Bend Endurance Academy returns with their incredibly popular Bike Rodeo, a challenging (but fun!) obstacle course of unusual ramps, rails and maybe even a seesaw. Don’t forget to stop by the Bend Endurance Academy booth to learn more about their youth development programs for cycling and more. For kids on foot, check out the rock wall and super bungee station where the kids can fly high, jump, flip and bounce.
The juggling, stilt-walking, hula-hooping Spinsterz will be back with their wide array of children’s toys. New to the event this year, and just in time for spring, is the DD Ranch petting zoo with bunnies, chicks and more. Diane’s Riding Place will be offering the best pony rides in town with Snickers, Lily, Texas Rosie and Bill. Yeehaw!
Food vending will be confirmed and advertised in March.
