What time does it start and end each day?

 

Brooks is between Salem and Woodburn. Thats not too far of a drive from Seattle, maybe a little over 3 hour drive. The last big trip I took in my Datsun truck was 4,000 to 5,000 RPM for 12 hours ... each way. So 3 hours is nothing for a Datsun

if you're camping it starts when you wake up and ends when you go to bed

 

i want to say the facility closes the gates at 8 but we are allowed to come and go as we please while we are there as long as you've paid for your stay or if you show up late pay the next morning. i've set up my tent in the dark and paid in the morning before

No running Datsun (YET?) and a very busy July coming up... I may have to just "suffer" and cannonball up and back that weekend. 😄

Flyer should be coming soon. As we discussed earlier about private tours, the venue has lined out the blacksmith shop the vintage tooling museum and the auto and mc museum for those who arrive on Friday earlier in the afternoon. I want to say 3 or 4ish. 

  The down scaled railroad is having a gathering of their own on that weekend but will not impact our event as they have their own entrance and parking away from our area and they are HIGHLY encouraging us to come spend some time with them for some stories and rides on the trains. Like last year night rides will be on again! Too much fun! looking forward to seeing everyone again this year!

We are where we always are the mini railroaders will be on the other side of the fence in their museum area. The venue made certain I understood that it will in no way impact our event. We do always have the option to move to the back area but I feel like that wouldnt be big enough for us. 🤷‍♂️

The train guys are very welcoming. Worth a visit for sure.

Ive been told by several people now that they want to explore the museums but dont seem to get away in time to do that. So it's been proposed by the venue a guided group tour of at least several museums Friday evening. Does this sound like something you guys would be interested in or willing to show up later in the day on Friday for? There is no additional cost just trying to establish if it interests enough people to do it. Thanks

 

yeah that would be sick

[jbirds510]

Please spread this around folks! 

[Draker]

If any of you are on FB do me a favor and respond to the event page, it helps a lot for people outside the forum to see that this event is well supported and encourages fence sitters to participate. Thanks.

You think that's bad , i sent a text out the same day to who i thought was neighbor at one of our properties out at Washaway beach asking about latest erosion... It ended up being some guy i met in Idaho that i talked to in a Burger-king about mini Case loaders..  He was like like ,, what in the F are you even talking about

hey, i think im gonna try and make it up there this year in the hardbody..  this thing any good?

[Farmer]

Holy crap, its Neil. 

[Farmer Joe]

yessir... 

 

so is this shindig like the old ones?  i havnt seen the ol datsun crew in a good while.. 

[Farmer]

You will definitely see some old faces.  Not everyone from Canby shows up since there are no awards and such. Just a bunch of Datsun people hanging out and selling/buying parts.  Nothing can really beat Canby. It was in a class of its own.  But this show /swap meet is gaining ground every year and the venue is Top Notch, especially what is included with the price of entry.  You will be glad you went
