*         A Novel Idea<https://www.deschuteslibrary.org/calendar/novelidea/>: In the grand finale of Deschutes Public Library's annual Novel Idea program, author Anne Griffin will present on Sunday, May 3, at 4:00 p.m. at Bend High School. A book signing will follow Griffin's presentation.

*         First Friday Art Walk<https://www.visitbend.com/festivals-events/first-friday-art-walk/>: The monthly First Friday Art Walk will take place May 1. Downtown Bend will be extremely crowded with pedestrians and vehicles, so the conference committee recommends staying in the vicinity of the Riverhouse that evening.
