We estimate that nearly 6,000 visitors have enjoyed exploring art, wildlife, and living history at the High Desert Museum during Mid Oregon's Free Family Saturdays on January 31 and February 28.
There was much excitement among visitors when the Porcupine babies came out to say hello! Many kiddos (and adults) left with big smiles, great memories and some fun souvenirs from the Silver Sage Trading gift shop..
We value our long-standing partnership with the High Desert Museum and look forward to continuing to providing fun, educational experiences for our Central Oregon communities.
Thank you to all who attended—see you next time!

There are some lessons we learn in school that last a lifetime and one Redmond teacher is making sure his students get those lessons early.
Mid Oregon and KTVZ surprised Obsidian Middle School teacher Dan Grubb with a $1,000 award through the One Class at a Time program, which recognizes educators who teach lifelong skills. Mr. Grubb recently revived the school’s shop and career education program, drawing strong support from the Redmond community.
Mr. Grubb was excited to possibly put this thousand dollars toward a CNC router so that his students would be able to create their own designs with the technology.
This is exactly the kind of forward-thinking, student-focused initiative that KTVZ News and Mid Oregon proudly celebrate through One Class at a Time—championing teachers and programs that make a lasting impact every single day.

Our Pay It Forward program recognizes people who make our community a better place to live with a $500 cash award from Mid Oregon, Dutch Bros and KTVZ.
For 28 years Charlie Young has volunteered as a mediator for the Deschutes County Courts. Mediation offers a legal alternative to trial — instead of taking a dispute before a judge or jury, people can sit down with someone like Mr. Young to peacefully work out their differences.
The Pay It Forward program shines a spotlight on those who make our community a better place to call home. To nominate someone in your neighborhood you can fill out the nomination entry form on the KTVZ21 website.
