2020 NW Starfest Planning

[MikeyC]

Is it to early to start planning the next one? On the table---1. Farmington, New Mexico. 2. St. Helens, Oregon (Randys House). 3. Sweet Home, Oregon (Mikes House). 4. Eureka, California-This one will be in 2021. 5. Klamath Falls, Oregon. Anything else someone may want to put on the table?

Okay so I’ve been sipping on moonshine tonight so this may be me being confused but did the state of New Mexico move to the NW?

[MikeyC]

It was a thought for a meet, I guess the name may have to change for that one

That would be the SW Starfest if I'm not mistaking!

Booo! What will we do without you and your bike to fix? Oh wait, Maybe Doc_V will show up!

[JoeBloShmo]

Ill make the Eureka CA. one and possibly a southern Oregon one.

[Shores]

OK suckas! What’s the date we decided on for the 7th Annual NW Starfest in Salem, OR?

[Jaybo]

The last dates that worked for peeps was July 30th to Aug 2nd weekend, and the location will be in Sweet Home Oregon!

[Duke]

I know the Four Corners area isn't in the North West so it couldn't be called NW Starfest, but we could still have a Starfest around this area if everyone would be interested.
I'm open to any place that we all could meet and ride.
Maybe start a SW Starfest?

[MikeyC]

That's what Shores and one of his friends did, just decided to start the NW Starfest and we just been keeping it going.

[Duke]

Thanks Mike. I've been thinking about one for the SW, I'll have to give it some thought.

[MikeyC]

So, looks like we will be doing the 2020 Starfest in Sweet Home, Oregon at to be announced. We have plenty of tent room, pretty good RV room. We have one 30amp plug in for an RV and we have our 5th wheel in the barn with a 30 Amp plug in that could be used by a couple or a couple of singles.
There is a pretty decent motel 1,5 miles from our house and I will list motel options below.
Friday night and Saturday night we can BBQ at the house after the daily rides and in the mornings we could breakfast at a nearby restaurant
People tend to show up on Thursday night so we can all keep in touch and maybe get together either at the house or somewhere else and Sunday morning we could get together for breakfast and head out from there.
Looks like the date for the meet is July 31st thru Aug, 2nd Look forward to seeing you there/here.

Motels
1.5 Miles-------Sweet Home Inn, 805 Long St. Sweet Home, Oregon 97386 Ph. 541-367-5137--Clean-would be my choice.
15Miles---------Shanico Inn, 1840 S. Main St. Lebaon, Oregon 97355 Ph. 541-259-2601--O.K.
16.5Miles-------Best Western (Boulder Falls Inn) 505 Mullins Dr. Lebanon, Oregon 97355 Ph, 855-680-3239--really, really nice.

EDIT 1/31/20--- The 5th wheel is spoken for. Start making your reservations soon folks.
EDIT 2/3/20---- Fridays ride will be about 210 miles.

[MikeyC]

Did another Edit/update.

[Shores]

Thanks Mike. Can you edit the title to include the date?

[Shores]

Also I'd remove your address from the post. You can send it via personal message to participants.

I'll claim some tent space. I can't wait! This has been a f'n long winter!

I'll be bringing my RV as well, will likely have at least one bed available.

[Jaybo]

It looks like we will need to do a date change unfortunately. The Oregon Jamboree Country Music Festival is being held this same weekend in Sweet Home, which means no Hotel rooms and traffic up the Wazoo. Stay tuned.

[MikeyC]

So we have been looking at rectifying a conflict with another venue locally. It looks like the dates will remain the same but the location will change slightly.

[Tykes_Place]

There's always Lolo and Elk City.

Or Spray!
