REDMOND, Ore. (KTVZ) -- Oregon State Police will be enhancing its patrol efforts in the Bend area over this weekend as two big events bring more traffic to the region. "The FairWell Music Festival (in Redmond) and Jefferson County Fair (in Madras) will draw a significant number of motorists to the area, and the increased traffic volume comes with an increased risk of traffic collisions," troopers said Thursday. "The Oregon State Police will be seeking the public's assistance in ensuring safe highways for those who are traveling to and from these events, as well as those traveling through the area on other adventures," they added.
