MEMORIAL DAY CELEBRATIONS – CANCELLED for 2020

In light of the current pandemic, the difficult decision has been made to cancel all plans for the 2020 Reedsport Memorial Day celebrations.

This is an announcement we had hoped not to have to make.
Unfortunately, the 2020 Oregon Divisional Chainsaw Carving Championship has been cancelled.
While the decision was necessary, it was still not easy.
The Chainsaw Committee is already looking ahead to a bigger and better festival for 2021.
Everyone stay safe, be creative and know that we cannot wait to see you in the sawdust next year.

In light of the current pandemic, the difficult decision has been made to cancel this years Rock and Gem Show and Sale.

In light of the current pandemic, the difficult decision has been made to cancel this years Fireworks on the Bay.

I am sorry to say that DuneFest 2020 has been cancelled. Governor Brown announced that “large gatherings such as conventions, festivals, and major concerts and live audience sporting events will need to be cancelled at least through September. Restarting events of this size will require a reliable treatment or prevention, like a vaccine, which is many months off”.

As a Chamber event, we were holding out hope that things would improve.

For those of you who have been coming for years and collect dog tags or camping stickers, we will have 2020 items available with the phrase #quarantined on them. Please send an email to dunefestevent@gmail.com with the subject “quarantined” and we will put them in the mail to you as soon as they are available.

In light of the current pandemic, the difficult decision has been made to cancel all Old Time Fiddler’s Association events until further notice.

It is with deep regret that we inform you the 2020 Kool Coastal Nights Car Show has been cancelled. We had hoped that it would be safe for everyone to gather and enjoy the car show. Orders from the office of the Governor of Oregon preclude that from being a possibility for this year. Please know that the health and safety of our community and participants is of the utmost importance to us. We will miss seeing you this year, but are counting the days til’ August 28, 2021 when we can all enjoy Kool Coastal Nights!

Gardiner, Reedsport, Winchester Bay STEP is sad to announce that we have to CANCEL the 2020 Annual Salmon Derby. Public health concerns with the Covid-19 virus are just too great to take the chance of the virus spreading between participants and STEP staff.
Anyone who purchased derby tickets will have their entry fee refunded.
Thank you,
Rick Rockholt
Secretary, GRWB STEP
