Oregon State Fairgrounds
February 10th & 11th, 2007

On a warm and sunny morning, we cruised up the I 5 stopping in Canyonville, Or. at the 7 Feathers Casino where we met Scott & Diane Ivers in their rig and went in for a light breakfast. There was little traffic on dry roads and we travelled all the way arriving on Salem at 1pm. The host hotel, the Red Lion is conveniently located just off the freeway with a large well lighted and secure parking lot out back for our trucks and trailers . After check-in and unpacking, we all walked next door to the Newport Bay restaurant and enjoyed a nice dinner and excellent service.

Friday morning early, we trucked on over to the show sight, about 3 miles away, where we met Bob Symons and Greg Roach who do the majority of arrangements for this event. After registering, we were able to drive right into our allotted spaces, Scotty was in the main hall while we were in a carpeted annex with a lower ceiling, good lighting and right next to the main entrance with about 10 other vehicles. We were all set up, waxed and done by 2pm, the advantage of arriving early. During the day, another 108 vehicles filled the arena. Other RVSR members who displayed their cars were John Marvel with his Center Door T, Ray & Katy Dalke with their ’41 Ford convert and Butch & Kathy Steele with their ’34 DeSoto sedan. Our trailers were parked in their fenced in secure parking lot and tucked away for the weekend.
