PORTLAND, Oregon Watching a video from an outdoor concert can feel like watching something from 10-years ago. But as more people get the COVID-19 vaccine, concert venues are trying to plan how to bring back live, outdoor events. Many feel like they re doing so without the state s guidance.
“There s none of that groundwork, so right now we re losing shows, daily,” said Beau Eastes, marketing director for the Les Schwab Amphitheater in Bend. “People are saying, ‘We ll route our tour around Oregon because we don t know what the parameters are going to be.’”
Indoor Dining Welcomed During Freezing Temps
Below freezing temps and heavy snowfall in the area has made it timely for dining indoors. Deschutes County’s COVID-19 restrictions were eased letting local restaurants reopen today on a limited capacity.
“The health and safety of our guests and employees remains top priority in the Old Mill District,” said Beau Eastes, Marketing Director for the Old Mill District. “Our restaurants have been working diligently to create plans that ensure the comfort and safety of indoor diners. Several will be able to open right away on February 12, while we expect many others to follow suit in the weeks to come.”
