datzenmike Posted October 11, 2018 Report Share Posted October 11, 2018 I think that started when Dave Bothwell 'stepped' down from running the show. At least he was flexible and all inclusive to Datsun owners who went there. 1 Quote Link to comment

Rick-rat Posted October 12, 2018 Report Share Posted October 12, 2018 Everyone could show up at the parking lot across the street from the fairgrounds 1 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted October 12, 2018 Report Share Posted October 12, 2018 That's where I had to park my Datsun last year. I was told that if I wanted to camp in my wagon on fairground property I would have to park outside and walk in. But if I was driving anything else it would be ok. How misguided and fucked is that ???? I was more than willing, and tried to pay the $25 a night and $3 a day 'walk in' fee but Steve would have nothing of it. He said he wasn't going to make any exceptions to the rules for me??? What rules? I only wanted him to stick to the pricing list that he had posted. Apparently to be allowed to camp, a Datsun owner is obligated to enter their car in the show but it doesn't say that in the 'rules'. So fuck you Steve, instead of $56 paid into the Canby event you got $6. In the 9 years of coming almost 700 miles to Canby, have I never seen such management bullshit. If the show isn't at Canby this year, or there isn't a show, I can totally understand why now. 4 1 Quote Link to comment
Rick-rat Posted October 13, 2018 Report Share Posted October 13, 2018 (edited) I wish Steve would jump in and tell us what is going on, is there going to be a Canby show or not. Just want to know where I won't be going anyway Edited October 13, 2018 by Rick-rat 1 Quote Link to comment

Seeker > 620 KC Posted November 1, 2018 Report Share Posted November 1, 2018 If suggestions are being considered and this isn't premature... I really liked the two day Canby event, and would much rather see it re-locate than fade away into history. I did a quick google search, there are two smaller fairgrounds that may be affordable in Oregon (could be others closer to Portland?): Benton County Fairgrounds in Corvallis. Not sure if they have on-site camping. Douglas Co Fairgrounds in Roseburg. Their website says they have camping spots with hookups. I drive from San Diego to attend Canby and don't complain (much.) But Corvallis would be 65 miles further south from Canby for locals. It would be a good opportunity to drive your Dats down the 101 local towns if you don't want to drive the I-5! 2 Quote Link to comment
Farmer Posted November 1, 2018 Report Share Posted November 1, 2018 Polk County Fairgrounds too 1 Quote Link to comment
DanielC Posted November 1, 2018 Report Share Posted November 1, 2018 I used to go to Douglas county fairgrounds, (Roseburg) long ago, when I was showing horses. There was and maybe still is a dirt track oval that they raced cars on. There was also camping on the grounds, in an area next to the Umpqua river. But that was in a previous century.

It is isn't, I haven't been able to celebrate Xmas on Xmas in a few years, always draw that straw to work it, and sometimes forget my own birthday,. But I'm looking forward to making eagle Rock a tradition. 2 Quote Link to comment

danfiveten Posted November 4, 2018 Report Share Posted November 4, 2018 I would hate to see it move further south, i know many from up north would not like that either. If steve doesnt want to continue it i hope someone does, steve has done a great job. But as he and others have seen it is NOT EASY running a show. We have struggled for years with blue lake because of lack of volunteers. Every year people say they will help out, and then dont ? We are getting tired as well, but we push on and this year will be the 35th year. 2 Quote Link to comment
