Redmonds annual Fourth of July Parade is a community favorite.
S
ometimes it pays to be the
new kid on the block.
Youthful Redmond, only
103 years old in 2013, was the last
of Central Oregons major commu-
nities to incorporate. After more
than a decade of meteoric growth,
weve settled into a healthy gradu-
al upward trend in population in-
creases and are enjoying being the
hub city of the region.
Redmond is the geographic heart
of Central Oregon, nearly equidis-
tant from the Ochoco Mountains
and Prineville Reservoir, prime fly-
fishing spots on the Metolius River,
the dramatic lava fields south of
Bend, and the hot springs at the
Warm Springs Indian Reservation.
Early settlers in Redmond were
attracted by the areas climate and
potential; the coming of irrigation
canals and the railroad caused a
flood of newcomers soon after the
turn of the 20th century.
We began as an agricultural
community, centered around farm-
ing, ranching and natural resource
industries such as lumber mills.
Weve grown to include a first-
class airport and expo center, light
industrial and manufacturing fa-
cilities and technology-based busi-
nesses.
Redmond is a community that is
constantly reinventing itself, striv-
ing to remain true to its roots while
being open to change and reinvig-
oration.

Redmond flag display downtown.
I
t was the sight of a long stretch
of American flags on Redmond
streets, a welcome-home event
for some Desert Storm soldiers
in 1991, that inspired a group of
citizens to form the Redmond Flag
Committee.
Within eight years, the group had
sold more than 700 flags: each
four-by-six flag is sponsored by
an individual or organization and
embroidered with a name, usually
that of a veteran. Today the commit-
tee, with assistance from a variety
of civic groups, puts up more than
1,200 flags on seven major display
days (sometimes more often, such
as when a fallen soldier is brought
home).
Hauling that many wooden poles
out of a trailer, unfurling 24 square
feet of red, white and blue polyes-
ter and finding an open hole in the
sidewalk at 6 a.m. is not an easy
task, nor is showing up 12 hours lat-
er to do the same thing in reverse.
The group is always looking for
new members. It can take as little as
an hour to blanket the city in flags
if a nice-size group shows up, but
it can take hours if there are just a
few volunteers.
In addition to flag display days,
the committee holds occasional
work days for flag maintenance
and clearing out display holes.
To find out more, visit the
Redmond Flag Committee website
at www.flagcityusa.us.

T
he fire and ice of geologic
ages have combined to give
Redmond a well-hidden jew-
el, an open space bordered by high
rock walls known as Redmonds
Dry Canyon. It runs nearly the
length of the town and provides
opportunities for walking, biking,
horseback riding and otherwise
just getting away from it all.
NORTH SECTION
The northern section of the can-
yon between the north trailhead
and Antler Avenue is mostly
undeveloped, with junipers, bunch
grass and towering rimrock. A
paved path meanders along the east
side, and a dirt trail hugs the west-
ern edge. A dog park is located just
off the paved trail near Black Butte
Boulevard, along with a community
garden and disc golf course.
CENTRAL SECTION
The central canyon from Ant-
ler to Highland avenues is more
traditional, with a skate park, ten-
nis courts, picnic pavilion, soccer
and baseball fields and childrens
play areas. There are several park-
ing areas.
SOUTHERN SECTION
The south canyon is home to
American Legion Community Park,
with sports fields, an amphitheater
and a play area.
A one-mile paved trail continues
to Quartz Avenue; staircases access
the canyon from Obsidian, Quartz
and Pumice avenues.

rrigation and iron rails brought
settlers to the Redmond area in
the early years of the 20th centu-
ry first as speculators that water
and the railroad would arrive, and
later as farmers and entrepreneurs
drawn by their existence.
One family enticed by the pros-
pects was that of Frank and Jose-
phine Redmond, North Dakota
schoolteachers who, with their
daughter Lucile, moved to Central
Oregon in 1904.
At the suggestion of Deschutes
Irrigation and Power Company
officials, the family pitched their
tent next to the right of way for the
companys under-construction irri-
gation canal and near a projected
rail line, on land just northeast of
todays downtown.
A couple of years later, water
began flowing through the canal,
a townsite was platted and Col.
W.A. Belcher began selling real
estate from what is now the heart
of downtown Southwest Sixth
Street and Evergreen Avenue.
By July 6, 1910, the little com-
munity boasted 216 residents and
became an incorporated city. The
much-anticipated railroad came
through town in 1911, assuring the
towns commercial viability.
Equipped with the basics for de-
velopment irrigation water, the
railroad and the dirt roads that
later would become Highways 97
and 126 the High Desert com-
munity grew in fits and starts over
the decades.
In its history Redmond has been
a potato production and shipping
center, a hub for turkey raising
and home to several wood prod-
uct mills. Today, resorts in the
area draw tourists and an abun-
dance of industrial land has lured
a variety of businesses, big and
small. Foresight by early residents
made Redmond home to Central
Oregons regional airport and the
Deschutes County Fair, as well as
a modern fair and exposition cen-
ter.
Meanwhile, east of Redmond,
Powell Butte, an unincorporated
agricultural community halfway
between Redmond and Prineville,
was becoming a thriving agricul-
tural center.

PEAK SPOTTER
Central Oregon is a perfect window into our states volcanic past. Some of
the peaks visible from Redmond are extinct volcanoes, others are merely
dormant. The smaller peaks are various by-products of volcanic activity,
from cinder cones to rhyolite domes.
The tallest peak visible from Redmond is Mount Jefferson, at
10,497 feet. It last erupted about 950 AD.
Mount Washington is not far behind, at 7,794 feet. Scientists
think it last erupted around 670 AD.
The Three Sisters, less commonly known as Faith (the North
Sister, at 10,085 feet), Hope (the Middle Sister, at 10,047
feet), and Charity (the South Sister, at 10,358 feet), are an
iconic sight on the horizon of Central Oregon. Only the
North Sister is considered extinct; the youngest peak,
South Sister, is the one most frequently tackled by climb-
ers.
Three-Fingered Jack lies south of Mount Jefferson and
stands at 7,844 feet.
Many smaller promontories are visible from Redmond:
Tetherow Butte is sometimes called Cinder Butte by
locals.
Cline Buttes are a popular recreation site with many
trails.
In the distance stands Black Butte, a 6,436-foot cinder
cone that last saw volcanic activity some 1.4 million years
ago.
Gray Butte and Powell Buttes, to the north and east of
Redmond, both stand at about 5,000 feet.
Modest Forked Horn Butte within city limits is barely
200 feet higher than Redmond itself.
POWELL BUTTES
Page 10
In 1907 Powell Buttes handful
of residents built a school for the
areas seven schoolchildren. Early
residents raised sheep for wool.
When water reached the area in
1908, agriculture boomed. While
the potato no longer is king, Powell
Butte continues to lure residents
who enjoy rural life.
Five miles to the north of
Redmond, Terrebonne began its
existence as Hillman a combi-
nation of the names of James Hill
and E.H. Harriman, two railroad
magnates who raced to lay track
into Central Oregon. The name
was later changed to Terrebonne,
French for good earth.
For about 15 years, Terrebonne
had a thriving commercial district
(including five saloons in 1914)
but in the mid-1920s, as improved
roads and better vehicles made
travel easier, business migrated to
Redmond. In recent years, how-
ever, Terrebonne has seen a resur-
gence and is home to restaurants,
banks, a supermarket and hard-
ware store.
To the west of Terrebonne a com-
munity grew on what was once a
cattle ranch. Seattle developer Bill
McPherson purchased the former
working cattle ranch in 1971 to
develop a recreational home com-
munity. Since then, Crooked River
Ranch has evolved into a perma-
nent community of about 5,000
residents. In addition to the nearly
10,000 one- to five-acre lots, the
ranch has a golf course and small
commercial district. The original
ranch site was purchased by a Tex-
as oilman named Gates in 1910,
and his former main ranch house
now hosts the Crooked River
Ranch senior center.

A
tradition many decades in
the making, Redmonds an-
nual Buckaroo Breakfast is
one of the longest running cowboy
cookouts in the U.S. The much-be-
loved community tradition will cel-
ebrate its 70th anniversary in 2014.
WWII was still raging in 1944
when local businessmen, ranch-
ers and county fair supporters
gathered to plan a real Western
breakfast for the last day of the
Deschutes County Fair. Its steaks,
eggs, potatoes, pan bread and cof-
fee were cooked over open flame
the cowboy way and served
to hundreds of bleary-eyed fairgo-
ers.
As the years went by, the event
was feeding upwards of 3,000, in-
cluding politicians hoping to shake
a lot of hands, visitors from outside
Redmond eager to be a part of the
unique event, and former Redmon-
dites on a visit home.
Today the Buckaroo Break-
fast has changed little. Its loca-
tion shifted when the fairgrounds
moved but the food is still cooked
over wood-fired open grills on the
last morning of the fair.
The 100-plus volunteers who
work the event often include en-
tire families and many of them are
third-generation crew members.

hops create the perfect pint. Beer brewed here tastes
better than other brews in the Pacific Northwest.
Rick Orazetti, a managing partner at Cascade
Lakes Brewery, agrees.
Its great our area is being recognized for our beer.
Weve seen tremendous growth in the last five years,
as have other breweries,he said.
CASCADE LAKES
BREWING COMPANY
www.cascadeslakes.com
In Redmond since 1994, Cascade Lakes brews
five signature beers: Blonde Bombshell (best seller),
Rooster Tail Ale, Monkey Face Porter, 20Brown, and
Cyclops IPA. It offers nine seasonal brews. In addi-
tion to its 7th Street Brew Pub in Redmond, Tumalo
Tavern in Tumalo and Cascade Lake Lodge in Bend,
you can find its beer nearly everywhere in Oregon
in bottles, on tap, in growlers and at events. Cascade
Lakes also distributes in Washington and Idaho, with
plans to expand east.
PHAT MATTS BREWING COMPANY
www.phatmattsbrew.com
Less than two years old, Phat Matts believes its
adult beverages are real beer for real people. It
makes three kinds of simple, no-nonsense craft beer:
Red, IPA and Kolsch Ale. In addition to enhancing
signature brews, plans are to brew experimental
beers. Phat Matts brews are available on draft, in
kegs, in 22-ounce bottles, in area restaurants, at
events and in growler filling stations around Or-
egon.
SMITH ROCK BREWING
www.smithrockbrewing.com
Smith Rock Brewing, a family-run brewery and
pub, opened in November 2012. It brews on site in
small quantities using Central Oregon hops. In ad-
dition to developing a following for its 12 beers, it
also offers experimental beers. Each beers focus is
on balance and hop presence. Due to capacity, the
beer is available only at the pub. The restaurant fea-
tures locally grown produce and meats, makes its
own buns in-house and is becoming known for its
onion rings.

Cline Falls State Park.
C
line Falls Scenic Wayside is a day-use park
just west of Redmond on Highway 126. It has
picnic tables, barbecues, restrooms, horseshoe
pits and plenty of green space. The Deschutes River
runs along the park, providing quiet spots to wade or
deeper swimming holes and slow currents for tubers.
Locals in the know head downriver to swimming
spots on the north side of the Cline Falls Bridge, but
beware they are close to the falls, which have
claimed several lives over the years.
The park is a popular family picnicking spot and
alcohol-free. There is no entrance fee.
Little evidence exists of the town that once existed
nearby, platted in 1903. In 1911, a hydroelectric plant
at the falls now unused but still standing began
providing electricity for nearby Redmond, which
quickly grew much faster than the tiny town of Cline
Falls.

P
eter Skene Ogden Scenic Wayside is nine miles north of
Redmond on U.S. Highway 97. This is a must-see stop
with stellar photo opportunities.
The viewpoint rims a 300-foot-deep canyon cut by the Crooked
River, which lies along its bottom. To the west is the fabled 1911
Oregon Trunk Railroad trestle that helped connect Redmond
with the world. Adjacent to the wayside is the steel arch 1926
Crooked River Bridge, or High Bridge as locals call it. Before the
bridge was built, travelers had to make their way down the steep
canyon sides to ford the river; in later years a bridge was built at
the bottom. In 2003, a new bridge, named for WWII military hero
Rex T. Barber, was constructed for vehicular traffic, and the High
Bridge was made into a footbridge for visitors to the canyon.
Ogden was a Canadian fur trapper and mountain man who
led explorations throughout Central Oregon in the 1820s. He
was a man who really got around: There is a city named for him
in Utah, as well as several schools in the U.S. and Canada and a
Canadian port.

ummer or winter, downtown
Redmond is where the action
is for kids of all ages.
In 2010, the year of Redmonds
100th anniversary, Centennial
Park was opened just across the
street from city hall.
The urban park includes a
unique feature inside its bricked
plaza: call it a splash park, a
sprayground or just plain foun-
tain the water feature is a hit no
matter what the name.
The fountain is turned on typi-
cally in late May, when the weath-
er warms and kids are nearly out
of school. Weather permitting, the
fountain is typically running most
of the day. Every September, it is
shut off for the cool weather sea-
son.
But shortly after, October or
November, Redmond gets cold
enough to open its very own skat-
ing rink, right across the street
from the Centennial Park spray-
ground.
The modest-sized temporary
rink (typically removed by March)
still has all the needed features:
groomed ice, skate rentals, les-
sons, safety walls and lights for
evening skating.
Entry prices are modest, with
free open skate times set aside for
those with their own skates.
For more information about
sprayground, call the city of
Redmond at 541-923-7710.
For skate rink information call

reation District at 541-548-7275.

Deschutes County
Fair & Expo Center
Deschutes County Fair and Expo Center.
D
eschutes County Fair and
Expo Center has occu-
pied 132 acres southwest
of Redmond Municipal Airport
since 1999. It is one of the newest
facilities of its type in Oregon and
boasts the largest county fair in Or-
egon indeed, second only to the
state fair.
But Redmonds fair history goes
much deeper.
The areas first settlers organized
agricultural events, dubbed Potato
Shows, beginning in 1906, before
Redmond was even incorporated.
After the formation of Deschutes
County in 1916 (prior to that, both
Bend and Redmond were in Crook
County), locals waged a battle with
Bend over which community the
state should recognize as the home
of the official county fair.
Redmond won out in 1919, and
over the next year, a flurry of con-
struction yielded an arena, a 1,200-
seat grandstand, a racetrack, barns
and exhibit buildings on land long
used for community events. The
site now is home to Fred Meyer
and Lowes stores.
Today the fairgrounds consists of
a 279,000-square-foot event center,
a 106-space RV park, a large out-
door rodeo grounds, three smaller
buildings for community events
and a variety of animal barns.

TIPS FOR HIGH DESERT
GARDENERS
Plant growth:The elevation in Cen-
tral Oregon increases as you travel
from north to south. Redmond is
in the middle, roughly 3,000 feet.
The high elevation means low
nighttime temperatures, slow plant
growth and an increased chance of
frost. Redmonds average last frost
date is June 1 and its fall frost ar-
rives about Sept. 21.

Use row covers, cold frames
and raised beds to extend your
growing season.
Mulch around perennials for
winter protection.
Add 14 days to the number giv-
en for maturation on seed packets.
Soil and water: Central Oregon
soils tend to be coarse, sandy and
lacking in organic matter; amend
generously to give plants nutrients.
The pH is generally neutral and
needs no adjustment.
Water plants every 6-8 weeks in
winter to prevent desiccation, if the
soil will accept it.
Water plants deeply but infre-
quently to prevent shallow roots
and drying out.
Plants: Most of all, say OSU Ex-
tension agents, carefully select
your plants to ensure adaptability
to Central Oregon.
Deer-resistant does not mean
deer-proof; deer browsing depends
upon the available food, time of
year, location, deer species and
simple curiosity. The only sure-fire
way to keep the deer from nibbling
is to put up a tall enough fence.
Rockchucks, a marmot in the
squirrel family, can cause damage
in some gardens.
Some methods to reduce dam-
age include planting away from
buildings and fences (they avoid
open areas), short flexible fences
(buried at least a foot), ammonia-
soaked rags and anything that
moves in the wind that may scare
them away.
OSU Extension offers regular classes and workshops in food preservation and gardening.

n the last decade, Redmond
has worked tirelessly to build
an inventory of public art to
enhance the community. Three of
the citys gateways on its north,
west and east ends have large
sculptures on display. Western
Swingon Northwest Sixth Street
and Air Traffic Controlon South-

Redmond has a multitude of or-
ganizations dedicated to the arts
and culture, and more seem to be
forming every day. Here is a sam-
pling:
High Desert Society of the Arts
(www.highdesertarts.org) is a
Redmond-based nonprofit that
works to develop and support the
arts in the community. It offers
workshops, networking and sup-
port for local artists.
Central Oregon Writers Guild
(www. central oregonwri ters.
blogspot.com) was formed to en-
courage local writers by providing
support, education and resources,
such as critique groups and work-
shops.
Redmond Community Concerts
Association (www.redmondcca.
org) is a longtime community sta-
ple in the arts and entertainment.
The season subscription-based
nonprofit brings a diverse group
of musicians and performers to
town, welcoming them to the state-
of-the-art Ridgeview High School
performing arts center.
Redmond Commission for Art in
Public Places (www.ci.redmond.
or.us) is a city-appointed group
created to introduce art into select
public locations and situations in
order to create a unique sense of
place and enhance community
identity.
Central Oregon Showcase (www.
showcasechorus.org) is the local
arm of the national Sweet Adelines
choral organization. The nonprofit
choral group rehearses weekly
and performs throughout Central
Oregon.
Music in the Canyon (www.music
inthecanyon.com) is one of two
outdoor summer concert programs
in Redmond. Held on alternate
Wednesdays and the occasional
Fridays the concerts typically
host a diverse selection of musi-
cians, from jazz to bluegrass to
punk. Concerts are held in Ameri-
can Legion Community Park in
Redmond.
Music on the Green (www.
visitredmondoregon.com) is the
oldest summer concert tradition
in Redmond. Sponsored by the
Redmond Chamber of Commerce,
the concerts run June through Sep-
tember, on alternate Wednesdays,
in Sam Johnson Park.
The performing arts center at Ridgeview High School has elevated the level of venues available in the community.

Pharmacy & Compounding
Centers mission is to provide
patients with superior quality
pharmaceutical care unmatched
in the industry. Redmond Pharmacy
& Compounding Center is focused
on the individuality of each patients
need. Our goals are early
intervention and chronic disease
state management tailored to the
needs of each patient. With an
emphasis on health and wellness,
we will offer patients a unique
array of innovative products and
services from a caring staff.
Compounding combines an
ageless art with the latest medical
knowledge and state-of-the-art
technology, allowing specially
trained professionals to prepare
customized medications to meet
each patients specific needs.
Compounding is fundamental to
the profession of pharmacy and
was a standard means of providing
prescription medications before
drugs began to be produced in
mass quantities by pharmaceutical
manufacturers. The demand
for professional compounding
has increased as healthcare
professionals and patients
realize that the limited number of
strengths and dosage forms that
are commercially available do not
meet the needs of many patients,
and that these patients often have
a better response to a customized
dosage form that is just what the
doctor ordered.

edmond Museum is a vol-
unteer-run historical mu-
seum located next door to
city hall.
It can trace its origins to a city-
created commission tasked with
preserving the artifacts and histo-
ries of our communities more than
25 years ago. Just a few years ago,
the commission was disbanded
in order to transition to a non-
profit able to receive grants and
other tax-deductible support. The
Greater Redmond Historical Soci-
ety now runs the museum, which
is open seasonally. Volunteers are
always needed.
The museums displays are up-
dated annually and come from a
mix of artifacts and memorabilia,
from a full-sized organ from one
of Redmonds oldest churches to
a collection of picking bags used
during Redmonds potato-growing
heyday. Most artifacts have been
donated by local families.

Firemans Pond provides recreational opportunities as well as a home for waterfowl.
F
iremans Pond began life in
1912 as a watering hole for
sheep brought into town to
await shipment by the nearby rail-
road. In the early 1950s, with a col-
lapsed sheep industry, it became
the irrigation pond for the original
Juniper Golf Course, located near-
by. Along the way it also served as
an ice skating venue, where the
community could gather around
the frozen pond and build camp-
fires for warmth as well as toasting
marshmallows and hotdogs.
The water body got the name Li-
ons Pond after the Lions Club ad-
opted it and promoted its use as a
fishing spot for kids. The club kept
the cattails at bay and maintained
the pond and its banks.
Eventually Redmonds volunteer
firefighters took over, stocking the
pond with fish and holding an an-
nual fish fair for kids. The name
changed to Firemans Pond, al-
though in some places it is referred
to as Firemans Lake. In recent
years, an effort to rehabilitate the
pond has been underway, in order
to decrease erosion on the banks
and provide a healthy habitat for
fish.
Today, Firemans Pond is the
center of a 5.77-acre city park, with
a walking path, picnic tables, and
ADA-accessible fishing for chil-
dren age 13 and under and the dis-
abled. Its also home to waterfowl
and other birds.

Smith Rock State Park is a facility with a day-use area,
camping, hiking trails, fishing, kayaking and rock-
climbing venues.
S
mith Rock State Park
may draw rock climb-
ers from all over the
world, but it has plenty to
offer even the most casual
visitor. The 600-acre park has
trails, both easy and chal-
lenging, a green and shady
picnic area, a campground
and views that cannot be
beat anywhere in the state.
Hikers who walk into the
canyon have three choices
after they cross the foot-
bridge right, left or up.
The trail down to the river
is a fairly steep dirt and grav-
el path, but fine for everyone
but the least sure-footed. A
walking stick helps. At the
bottom of the trail is a pic-
turesque footbridge, a water
fountain and a toilet.
At the footbridge if you
turn left, youll follow the riv-
er for about two miles, past
the majority of the climbing
routes, so be sure to look up
occasionally. This is not a
loop.
If you take the right turn at
the footbridge, the trail again
hugs the river for slightly
over a mile, but in a less
rocky and wooded manner.
The Misery Ridge trail
also starts its climb just
across the footbridge and
winds past Parking Lot Wall
and Red Wall, and descends
on the west side past Mon-
key Face.

For The Spokesman
C
entral Oregon is known
for the wide array of recre-
ational possibilities, rang-
ing from golf to fishing. Located
in the middle of the fun, Redmond
is your hub of all that Central Or-
egon has to offer. Depending upon
the season, recreation enthusiasts
have easy access to world-class
road and mountain biking, hiking,
camping, climbing, horseback rid-
ing and just about any snow sport
you can think of. Considering the
amount of possibilities, your big-
gest challenge is deciding which
one to choose.
ON THE BIKE
Within the last decade, state sce-
nic bikeway designations and non-
profits such as the Central Oregon
Trail Alliance have turned Central
Outdoors
Continued next page
Page 65
Oregon into a premier biking des-
tination.
THE ROAD
The Twin Bridges Scenic Bike-
way is a 37-mile, moderate loop,
officially beginning and ending in
Bends Drake Park. The loop wan-
ders throughout Bend, Tumalo and
Redmond as it affords its users
panoramic views of the Cascade
Mountains.
The Sisters to Smith Rock Scenic
Bikeway is 37 miles oneway, a mod-
erate ride beginning in downtown
Sisters and ending at Smith Rock
State Park in Terrebonne. For those
seeking more miles, simply turn
around and head back to Sisters
for a completely different set of
views as you switch you direction
from east to west.
The McKenzie Pass Scenic Bike-
way is a challenging 36-mile ride
out of Sisters on state Highway
242 that heads west over Mckenzie
Pass while showcasing the con-
trasting forests of both sides of the
Cascade Mountains. If youre here
at the right time in late spring, you
can ride the route after it is plowed
and before cars are allowed on the
road.
For more information on these
and many other rides based in
and around Redmond, visit www.
rideoregonride.com.
THE TRAIL
Central Oregon has long been at
the forefront of mountain biking in
America. Our trails provide breath-
taking fun for riders of all ages
and abilities. From in-town, paved
trails to loops deep in the forest,
Redmond has easy access to your
dirty fun.
The Dry Canyon Trail is Red-
monds easy, four-mile, paved path
