The basics for living in Central Oregon: summertime, so hydrate up, drive carefully, be courteous for some of us this is our home, fires-stay away from fire areas (note signage of restricted areas), give rights of way to emergency/fire vehicles, stay out of smoky areas, and of course practice your COVID-19 safety.

The Indian Head Casino is scheduled to open today, our guests need to be ready for temperature checks at the door, wearing face coverings, space between other persons (6 feet +), frequent hand sanitizing and washing of hands.
