Howdy all.....We are having our first annual Fort Hill Show and Shine and would like to invite as many of you as can to attend. We have a specialty catagory just for the 67-72 Chev/GMC body style pickups with trophies awarded. This should be a great event with food, fun, 50's/60's music, fire engine rides for the kids plus all the usual goodies too. Also a specialty catagory for the under 20 set. If you are interested in joining us please contact me here and I'll get you all the details.

:welcome2: to the board.

:welcome2: & :hi: from Miami!!!!
Wish I could make it but I am a little too far...:waah:

Welcome to the best board on the net from N. Calif!

I'll be damned, small world... I saw 'Oregon', then 'Fort Hill', sure sounds familiar... I grew up in Willamina, from 1952 until HS graduation in 1967. Haven't been back there in many, many years.

Good luck with the Show & Shine! Never had anything like that around there when I was a kid!

Can you send me some details, I would be happy to float it around the Vancouver area..

WHen and where? I'm in Oregon City and very interested:)

Here's the basic "where", that's all I know... right where I left it 40-some years ago :)

Lil bump for the morning crowd

Used to drive by there all the time on my way to Lincoln City. Welcome!

Id love to be there but was just in keizer last weekend for a family reunion..

Howdy....Yes Sheridan is just about 8 miles east of Willamina. Fort Hill is the gas station/market/Lounge right before Spirit Mountain Casino and Grand Ronde. Hope you can come down for the show. It should be a good one.

How did this show go? Anyone with pictures?

Good Morning,
The show went pretty well for our "1st annual". Started out slow with a light rain and participants holding back to see what the weather would do. Sun came out and so did the cars. We had twenty one vehicles, a great band, good food, fire engine rides for the kids. Lots of people came off the highway to look as they headed for the "big show" in Lincoln City so we had a real good time. We learned alot and will have an even better show next year. One dissapointment was that we only had 2 67-72 body style Chev/GMC pickups show up. Gonna do that again next year so be ready! Yes there are a few pictures but I'm not sure how to post them here. I'll see what I can do.
