For the first time, Juneteenth is a state holiday in Oregon
Bend’s two-day Juneteenth Celebration wraps up at Drake Park: History, Culture, Community, Food, and Live Entertainment.
Sunday June 19, marked the second and final day of Bend’s Juneteenth Celebration at Drake Park. Many people came out to take part in the festivities. The newly recognized state and federal holiday marks the annual observance of the end of slavery.
People over the weekend learned about the history through educational exhibits and artistic displays, and were able to eat, listen to music and enjoy some dancing, with several vendors on hand with a wide array of food and product selections.
Performing at this two-day event were California hip hop artists Day Day (Oakland, CA), and SpenDoe (Santa Cruz, CA), along with Supa Dave (Queens, NY). California musician Shawn Ramone (spoken word/guitar), hip hop artist W.Y.L.D Won (Tampa Bay, FL) and Sizzul The Gr8 (Nashville, TN) also performed over the weekend, adding to a memorable lineup of talent. The event is the 2nd annual Juneteenth celebration for The Fathers Group, and the first year collaborating with the city of Bend.
While Day Day and SpenDoe worked the crowds, they also made time to meet and great attendees of the two-day event. One of the main highlights of the live entertainment, was the performance of “I Got Dreams” by Day Day & SpenDoe, produced by Nick Seals of DeviozBeats559.

The Foundational Steps of Divine Wisdom and Purpose By: Ladaro (Monsta Yo) Pennix II and Colin Randolph
This project originally started as an examination of our past, aiming to expose our mistakes and explore our transformation over time. Monsta Yo and I wanted to compare how we had evolved from a regretful period to where we are now. However, delving into our painful memories from decades of incarceration revealed disturbing and disheartening experiences. We realized how deeply we had been involved in destructive behaviors towards others and ourselves, driven by violence, hatred, and fury. Our lives had been shaped by a system that perpetuated hatred and violence, leaving us unable to understand why we behaved the way we did.
Reflecting on our past proved to be emotionally draining, prompting us to shift our focus towards exploring the factors that shaped us into the men we are today. Monsta Yo suggested concentrating on our foundational beliefs, leading to the creation of “The Foundational Steps of Divine Purpose and Wisdom.” We found that scripture had a profound impact on our lives and decided to center our project around its teachings.
I gathered scriptures that had influenced me significantly and discussed their practical applications, especially for those who are incarcerated. Monsta Yo, with his theological expertise, provided insights into the power and wisdom of these scriptures, enriching our reflections. Together, we brought passion, perspective, and purpose to each discussion, resulting in the title “The Foundational Steps of Divine Wisdom and Purpose.”
Through this project, we realized that examining our past was not just about acknowledging our mistakes but understanding the journey of our transformation. Our painful memories laid the foundation for our growth, highlighted through our reflections on scripture’s wisdom and purpose. This project evolved into a testament to our faith and the transformative power of scripture.
Monsta Yo’s theological insights complemented my reflections, offering a deeper understanding of the scriptures’ impact. By blending personal experiences with theological wisdom, we created a compelling exploration of the Divine wisdom and purpose found in scriptures.
