Greetings ,

I hope you are enjoying your summer as much as I am. I was able to get out and catch a show at the Les Schwab Amphitheater this past weekend--Fiona Apple and Damien Rice were playing. If you haven't been to one of the concerts at this spectacular Bend venue, you should definitely plan on it. The setting is optimal--fresh air, green soft grass, along the river, vivid sunsets in the backdrop, f*ree parking, and perhaps the best part is the lack of crowds. The Les Schwab Amphitheater gets many big name acts every summer and fall, so grab your lawn chairs and enjoy the show! Now onto some Sunriver vacation rental news.
