How many discarded skis make up the awning fronting Galveston Avenue at the westside Longboard Louies? How many points are on the crown worn by the king sculpted into the moulding above the theater entrance at McMenamins?

Roughly 100 people spent Saturday morning running all over Bend to find answers to these questions and many more as part of the Sagebrush Community Challenge, a new event this year held in conjunction with the Bend Summer Festival.

In a scavenger hunt of sorts, teams raced across downtown, the Old Mill District, and west Bend, jotting down the answers they collected at as many as 50 checkpoints as they could reach in 90 minutes.

Checkpoints were assigned point values from 25 to 200 for their distance from the start outside Bend City Hall and for difficulty. At the end of the race, teams turned in their answers and the points were tallied up.

Milling around the start, Vonnie Wignall, Sarah Fairclough and Jen Michelson mulled over their list of clues, trying to decide which checkpoint they’d hit first. Volunteers with Central Oregon Resources for Independent Living, the self-proclaimed “CORIL Queens” wore matching purple foam tiaras, knee-high socks and red fur boas.

“We’re doing this for kicks, but also we want to draw attention to CORIL, because as you can see, we love our jobs and we love what we do,” Fairclough said.

At the sound of a cannon, the CORIL Queens bolted down Wall Street toward Between the Covers bookstore, hunting for answers in the Pepsi mural on the side of the building. Scribbling down the “1927” from “Delaware Annex Est. 1927,” the team headed north, jogging to the Franklin Crossing building to locate one of the bronze plaques identifying various types of local trees.

As Wignal and Michelson studied the plaques on the west side of the building, Fairclough burst through a side door shouting. On the opposite side of the building, she’d found the plaque they were looking for, and the adjacent nightspot — Bo Restobar.

Race coordinator Amanda Rose said she spent about a week wandering around town to find suitable checkpoints, hunting for recognizable locations, with small details that generally go overlooked.

“We wanted to make them easy to find, but hard to get, if that makes sense,” Rose said.

Summerfest continues today, with arts and crafts vendors lining Wall Street and more music and food until 6 p.m.
