I am once again honored and humbled that Hack Bend has received The Source Weekly‘s nod to Best Local Blog in their annual Best of Central Oregon issue (which hit the stands today)! This is the fifth year in a row that this blog has won, and there is no doubt in my mind that this is entirely due to you, the readers, who follow and support Hack Bend to help push it to be as good as it is.

And big thanks to my contributors too—Jen, Katherine, Shannon (and hopefully more soon)—who definitely catch things that I miss!

So, a big THANK YOU to everybody for all the support! And don’t forget to pick up this “Best Of” issue and congratulate all of the other winners as well!
