Diamonds In The Desert Presented By: Vanessa Ivey

History Pub Is held at McMenamins in Father Luke's Room.  This month's presentation is on Bend's Baseball History.  In 1903, the Bend Bulletin announced the formation of a municipal baseball association and city team. Baseball in Bend has continued for over 100 years, from town teams to farm teams, semi-professionals to collegiate up-and-comers. Step back in time with Vanessa Ivey, manager of Deschutes County Historical Society and Museum, as she shares stories of an earlier era, when baseball wasn't just a favorite pastime, but a way to build commerce in communities. Whether you were a Bend Beauty or a Bend Elk, the swat of a wood bat rang true, and twirling and hurling wasn't found merely on a country fair ride. Doors open at 7pm, program starts at 7pm - Cost:  $5
