⁉️ Have you heard the news—Bend, Oregon might just be the perfect spot to catch a glimpse of the northern lights this weekend. An unusually strong solar storm is heading our way, creating a rare opportunity for us to see the aurora borealis dance across the night sky. 🌌✨

👉 According to NOAA, this solar storm could produce an as far south as Northern California, meaning Bend is in prime viewing territory. So, if you want to witness this magical spectacle, grab a warm blanket, head away from any light pollution, and look towards the north in the night sky. The next couple of nights might just turn out to be an unforgettable experience under the stars.

Bend’s original brunch spot! 🥞

Located in the restored 1916 bungalow, the cottage preserves the history of the former home owners and Bend pioneers Clyde and Olive McKay.

In 1973 the home was moved up the river to where it currently stands and has been various venues from cafés, private residences, a cigar bar and the local “party house”.

However over the years, with the help of the Deschutes County Historical Society, it has been refurbished to reflect the original condition and decor of the original owners.

McKay Cottage has been serving up creative comfort food since 2006 and has become a true Bend icon.

Not to mention it has been voted the best breakfast since 2010! 🍳

Keep in mind that being the best in town can come with a wait! They are a first come first serve restaurant so be sure to get there early to snag a spot!

But don’t worry if there’s a waitlist, their craft cocktails, coffee and pastries are available for order while you wait! 🥐☕️

So if you’re this weekend, even though the cold is here to stay, be sure to warm up in with a beer and pretzel. 🥨
