datzenmike Posted November 20, 2018 Report Share Posted November 20, 2018 I always plan to go but you never know until March/April for sure. I don't think DNW knows 1 1 Quote Link to comment
Josh K. Posted November 27, 2018 Report Share Posted November 27, 2018 I WILL be there this year. If my car breaks down on the drive I'll tow the fucking thing the rest of the way ? I purposely set the end date for Lemay so I can have the car end of March, that way I can redo the engine mounts and fix some items way before Canby! 2 Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted November 27, 2018 Report Share Posted November 27, 2018 In spite of the shitty reception last year, I intend to keep my plans to go this coming year unless it truly is changed. 2 1 Quote Link to comment
rosso Posted November 29, 2018 Report Share Posted November 29, 2018 I will be there too - may have the goon vg33 swap done or else just go and look at all the other fab cars. Loved last year even with weather - it was exciting and was my first. 2 Quote Link to comment
ArchetypeDatsun Posted November 29, 2018 Report Share Posted November 29, 2018 If I ever stop buying more datsuns some that were neglected I would have had my goon fixed by now not neglected ? 2 1 Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted December 12, 2018 Report Share Posted December 12, 2018 This is from DatsunsNW facebook page. Quote For the past 13 years Datsuns Northwest and crew have enjoyed a great time putting on many Datsun events like BBQ's, cruises, parties and of course, Canby, our 3 day campout car show. Canby has been a unique car experience to the Northwest Datsun community, with many great friends and memories made throughout the years. That being said, it is with great displeasure that we have to announce, Datsuns Northwest has closed it's doors. We are packing it in. Canby will be no more. Dave and Julie did a great job running the show for the first ten years, then Steven took the reins for the last three years and had great success bringing Datsun racing icons, John Morton and Peter Brock to our show. These last three years were some of the best yet. Thanks to Steven's leadership, we can be proud to say, Datsuns Northwest, and the Canby show is leaving on a very high note. Datsuns Northwest will be donating all of our leftover funds, shirts, sweat shirts and any other supplies to the people of Paradise, California to help them after their tragic 2018 wildfires. Thank you to all the Datsuns Northwest members and volunteers that helped keep us going for 13 years. Thank you to all the hard core Datsun owners, from all over the world, for supporting us and the Canby show all these years! Make sure to check our website occasionally, as we will be continuing to do cruises and get togethers in this coming year. ? 4 Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted December 12, 2018 Report Share Posted December 12, 2018 Management was never the same after Dave. People, cars and fairground were though. 1 Quote Link to comment

nickelpistol Posted December 12, 2018 Report Share Posted December 12, 2018 It was the fairgrounds that changed. The club was charged $2500 in back fees for when Dave was Pres and didn't pay for the camping portion of the show. Overall costs for reservations of the fairgrounds went up 20%. ...among many of other contributing factors. We're all pretty bummed, it was an event I looked forward to every year. 2 Quote Link to comment
Rick-rat Posted December 12, 2018 Report Share Posted December 12, 2018 (edited) Williams, Arizona good show lots of Datsuns, and other JDM vehicles Another option is Blue Lake Show, just East of Portland in August Edited December 12, 2018 by Rick-rat 1 Quote Link to comment

I heard Dave's wife worked for or had something to do with the fairgrounds and got a discount price for the Canby event. Can't see how you would be charged for something 3-4 years ago. That special price wouldn't apply for the last 3-4 years. Quote Link to comment

thisismatt Posted December 12, 2018 Report Share Posted December 12, 2018 They say you can't miss what you've never had, but I disagree. I really do miss not having 5-10 million dollars. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted December 12, 2018 Report Share Posted December 12, 2018 Well I tried, but he wouldn't take the money. Dave had no problem accommodating people. Canby holds a lot of good memories. 1 Quote Link to comment

If it wasn't paid we wouldn't be able to rent the space again. We lost our storage for all the club stuff too, another freebie when Dave was Pres. 1 Quote Link to comment
