Museum will be free Jan. 25

The High Desert Museum will offer free admission on Jan. 25 to its many wildlife and history exhibits thanks to a sponsorship by Mid Oregon Credit Union.

The museum will be open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and visitors will be able to visit both older and newer exhibits, such as Woven With Tradition: Plateau Indian Bags and Frontier Firearms: Stories of Survival and Defense, for free.

Parking at the museum is limited, but a free shuttle is being offered from the Morning Star Christian School parking lot, which is located at 19741 Baker Road in Bend.

Free admission to the museum will also be offered Feb. 22.

Video contest for young adults

Shared Future Coalition, a project funded by the Oregon Health Authority, is holding a video contest asking young adults in Deschutes County to show why they don’t engage in underage or binge drinking.

The Success Not Wasted video contest is open to Deschutes County residents between the ages of 18 and 25, and those entering the contest have a chance of winning an Apple iPad as a top prize. The top five fan favorites will also win memberships to the Bend Downtown Athletic Club, Hydro Flasks, and have their videos shown at the 2014 Winterfest.

Entries must be no longer than 60 seconds and must show what motivates and inspires contestants to keep from high-risk drinking.

The first 100 contestants will get a Dutch Bros. gift card just for entering.
