At some point this summer I am going to be in that town for a couple of days on business and will have more than a little time on my hands. Anything interesting in the immediate area that I shouldn’t miss? I will be in a company car so suggesting anything outside the immediate area (or at the end of a rough road) will be of no use to me.

Isn't McMinnville fairly close by there? If so a stop at the Evergreen Museum would be pretty cool.

The only item that comes to mind is the Redmond Airport (about 20 miles north of Bend). They have a selection of old Douglas prop airliners DC-4 -6 & -7 (+ surplus C-130's) that are coverted to borate bombers. If you are flying commercai to Bend you'll probably land at this airport anyway.
