Yep that’s right. I’m going to bring it back with a different format. Cars and coffee style without the coffee. No awards. No raffle. Just cars, people and good conversations. Figure this is a way to continue the show without the financial burden it had become.

Sorry I am not on here much, Work keeps me pretty busy anymore. This Sunday everyone, as Bleach stated 10AM start time. We have a ton of hotwheels and stuff for our Raffle this year that we have been holding onto for years now.

Sunday August 11th, will be the final year of the Blue Lake Datsun show. We have had fun putting this show on for many years now ( almost 40). But after people passing in our club, we honestly dont have the help to put it on anymore. This will be a scaled back show with less awards, but we will have a very big Raffle this year. Our money will be donated from our club as well to Wounded Warrior. I will post more information on the time of the show as we get closer ( should be 10am as usual). But I hope to see a good turn out for the last year of our show. We thank everyone for helping us go as long as we have, and it has been fun!

Thank you skib for reaching out !

Damn this sucks to hear. 😞

See every one tomorrow. Just to advise no bbqs or even propane bbq. Park did a red flag and is not allowing them.

Park is 5 bucks, show is 15. This year we are going to do peoples choice for top 4 categories, and then we will do a legacy award. This or next year will most likely be the last as the Park and insurance is costing us a boat load, and we have honestly been doing it for 40 years now! We have loved putting on the show, but its just that time sadly :(. So we are going to go until we are out of money!

Blue lake will be August 13th this year, 2nd Sunday as usual, Gates open at 8am, Show starts at 10am. We will be having some changes this year to awards, and still have a raffle, but no food again due to park changes on permits. Hope to see everyone there, as this will be the last year / few years of the show, as we are going to go as long as we can. 21224 NE Blue Lake Rd, Fairview, OR 97024

So excited to do something Datsun! At this point I dont even know with Blue Lake, not getting anything from the park on if we even have our date, this year was most likely going to be the last year, but at this point we do not even know 😞 SO very looking forward for Powerland.

See some of ya tomorrow!

^ I am not sure, That may be a option we can pull. This year with it last minute for sure we will not have food. A few have said they would be willing to donate for a food permit as a sponsor, which I really appreciate from everyone. We have a meeting today to discuss things since we are so last minute on the show this year.

Just going to copy and paste some information as I am sharing in a few places. There will be some changes to the show, and no food! Blue Lake Datsun and Nissan show will be on the second Sunday of August 8/14/2022. The gates open at 8am, but the show will not start until 10am. But you can be there as we set up to chat. This year we will not have food, we will have water to sell, as the park now requires a extra vendor permit to provide food. In order to keep the show going, we will have to cut the food as we break even each year to do the show the next year. We will be re-working our award categories this year due to the last minute notice of the show. We are happy the Park was willing to work with us to give us our pre pandemic rates. The show will run to around 3pm. We will have our Raffle, and we have saved up some goodies for the last few years of not being able to do the show. We hope to see you all out there, Datsuns, Nissans, and Infinitis are welcome.

So good news, I am just going to copy and paste everywhere as I have a few places to share. Turns out the people speaking to my dad were a vendor company dealing for the park. The park finally got back and told them our normal rate and to stop messing with us. The format of the show will be changing, this year will be a bit odd as it is the first year back after 2 years, and it is last minute. We will have awards, but be changing some of the categories. The sad thing we are losing is the ability to offer food. We will be trying to have water to sell, but they want us to get a food vendor permit, which is going to push the cost way to high for us. Here is the info below. Blue Lake Datsun and Nissan show will be on the second Sunday of August 8/14/2022. The gates open at 8am, but the show will not start until 10am.

Trying to make it today. But every freaking thing that can go wrong is going wrong this morning. I really want to do datsun things 😞. I’ve not gotten to take my purple 510 out for 2 years now since getting painted and almost finished to show her off.
