BEND GIVEN NICKNAMES

The Nicknames are back. Years ago, we sold nicknames through Bend to whomever wanted one.
It was a rather successful campaign, dolling out more that 30 original names.

We’re doing it again.For $5 I’ll give you a nickname ­— it will be yours and yours alone. You may use it in any way you see fit and you will receive a Certificate of Authenticity (suitable for framing) along with your purchase. See the example below.
In addition, your name — and new nickname — will be listed on the Bend Press Blogspot.
Get them at the Bend Press Store. Thank you.
— Andy “Salty” Jenkins
