BEND, Ore. (AP) — The last Occupy Bend campers folded their tents Sunday after two weeks of marches and demonstrations.

Coordinator Vic Hesher told KTVZ (http://bit.ly/tz6xiy) nearly 2,000 people came through the camp. Nearly 400 took part in Saturday’s final march and rally.

Organizers say they’ll continue meeting on Wednesday nights at the Old Stone Church in Bend.
