Sunriver Festival of Cars
I thought this might be worth posting on the website. I went last year and it was a great time in a great place. This year they’re highlighting sports cars of the 60′s. If we can get 10 or more club members to participate, we will receive a 10 x 10 space to display Healey stuff and talk about the club. Maybe even get a few more folks to sign on.
In any event, September is a great time to be in central Oregon, not too hot. We could organize a caravan over and maybe get several houses to share among the club members.

Dear Automotive Enthusiasts,
We really stepped up the Sunriver Festival of Cars and outdid ourselves last year: new venue, new activities, and new sponsors. The folks who participated had a fantastic time.
I would like to personally invite you to join us this year in the Sunriver Festival of Cars. The dates are September 18-20. We will again be using the Meadows Golf Course driving range at the Sunriver Resort as our display venue.
This year’s featured display will be Sports Cars of the 60′s.
Keith Martin, publisher of Sports Car Market, has agreed to be our announcer once again. Keith did a fantastic job last year, and is looking forward to this year’s event. Last year’s band, Smudge, has accepted our invitation to become the Festival band, and is already working on material for this year’s show.
Discounted room rates will be offered by Sunriver Resort. Check our website for details.
Each year, we add a little something new to the event, and this year will be no exception. This year’s show is shaping up to be another great year, but it can only happen with your participation. So, mark your calendar now and make your plans to attend the 2009 Sunriver Festival of Cars.
Participating car clubs get a free 10 x 10 display, if 10 or more club members sign up. What a great setting to promote your club marque!
You can download the registration form on the website after May 1. For further information or questions about becoming a sponsor, contact Barbara Grayson at 503-246-8477.
We all look forward to seeing you in September!
Sincerely,
John Draneas
It’s a great show, and hope you guys can make it (I don’t know a thing about classic cars, but always love it when they all come to town)!
If you need some place to stay, do note that there are other companies out here other than the Sunriver Resort that will probably get you a better deal on your stay. Contact me and I’ll put you in touch with a couple companies I work for and can see what kind of deal they can swing.
They moved the display area from the Village Mall, where it had been held in past years, to the golf couse and closer to the main lodge. The setting is much nicer, grass underfoot and much more expansive with great views. Last year’s show was amazing in terms of the scope and variety of cars on display. This is one you don’t want to miss, a somewhat “under the radar” gem. As noted above, Bend has a ton of places to stay and they seem to have noticed the economic situation and are finally beginning to lower prices.
