The Bend Parks and Recreation District Board selected a new member to replace Dallas Brown.

Board Chair Scott Asla says they chose Dan Fishkin to sit on the board for the next four months.  "He's been very active with Bend Parks and Rec, he's been on the budget committee before. His trade is he's in entertainment and he is a practicing attorney."

Asla says if Fishkin wants to continue in the seat,  he will have to run for it in the May election.

Asla adds that they were very impressed with all 10 candidates who applied for the position and the decision was tough.
