If you would like to close out the season with a laid back fun event then check out the Oregon Festival of Cars in Bend, Oregon September 15-17th, 2023. The event is held on the grass at the Deschutes Historical Museum.
If you have not attended in the past check out the website www.oregonfestivalofcars.com for event information and past event photos.
As always, the weekend promises to be a must-do for automotive enthusiasts. We revel in the joy of cars that are fun to own and drive, and we enjoy the company of their owners. The focus is always on having a good time.
The Festival Barbeque
We have a new banquet experience this year – a real Tennessee BBQ! Our friends at Crux Fermentation Project are providing the venue and their chef (who comes from Tennessee), in their large tent on the Crux brewery site. So expect a casual dinner with great food and beer, and the usual festivities that always leave you with fond memories.
So, here’s the schedule:
