fiveNdime Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 I just want to do the same thing with the Blue Lake Show, as people are doing for the Canby show. Any ideas to make it better? What would you do to change it? Was the show what you wanted? How was the food, admission, location, trophies, raffles, etc. Let me know. I will let Dan know of any comments. Let me know if you plan on coming too. Thanks Much! Quote Link to comment
Steroid Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 Are these two different shows that We are talking about?? I thought Canby was moved to Bluelake. Quote Link to comment
Gensaiken Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 Are these two different shows that We are talking about?? I thought Canby was moved to Bluelake. No, bluelake moved to canby and then it split in to two diffrent shows run by two diffrent groups people. So now there is a meet at canby and a meet at bluelake. Quote Link to comment
1lo620 Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 :mellow::mellow::blink::blink: I think one if them should move to Seattle area....or we should sart our own...the Ratsun Datsun meet.....:cool: Quote Link to comment
kiznook Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 Blue Lake is great fun. The most important thing needed to make it better is attendance! Quote Link to comment
Steroid Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 OK. So if We are talking about two different runs, what are the dates on each? Which one is at the "fairgrounds" and where is the other one held at? Which is larger? And, basically, which run are most of You guys supporting? I know these questions might sound "primitive" but as I will be coming a long way, I need to plan now to make the "right" run. Quote Link to comment

ggzilla Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 Canby is the larger, held at the Fairgrounds, 2nd weekend of June Canby is the largest Datsun/Nissan show in the US. Blue Lake is the more laid-back, more fun show. If they added "all the same" stuff, then it would be just like Canby. Not as much fun. Quote Link to comment
kiznook Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 You want to go to both :D Quote Link to comment
///FiveOneOh Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 why do I see so few seattle cars at the BC show/autoX? as for blue lake.. I thought it became Canby as well.. I never saw any adds or anything for blue lake?:confused: Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Several years ago Dave, the guy that created DatsunNW went to Dan, the guy that does Blue Lake and offered to help him change venues so that more people could attend. Blue Lake was never advertised because it was already at max capacity for the section of the park they used. So, for that year, the Blue Lake event became the Canby event. Then Dan decided that he would rather still do Blue Lake and Dave decided to start DatsunsNW so that Canby could continue. The Canby event is now the largest because it has the room to be and it's promoted more each year. The Blue Lake event does still happen, but it's much smaller, more laid back and still only a one day event. More people hear about Canby now and I assume they want to go to the bigger show to see more Datsuns....which typically means that they won't make a big trip the folowing month for Blue Lake. I'm sure some of people do both. There's more drama to the story which is why a good few of the DatNW people don't show up for the Blue Lake event. I would like to see the fences mended so that both clubs could enjoy both events. After doing all the work to put on Canby, it would be nice to go to a show where we could just "show up"! :) We'll see what happens. I may just go to Blue Lake this year if I can get the time off. I was working that day last year. I take a week off for Canby :) Quote Link to comment
///FiveOneOh Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 polotics suck boycotting any show is pointless its just childish. we all drive our datsuns for the enjoyment of driving a datsun. A show is to be around others that enjoy the same thing. Why put a damper on it. if I knew about blue lake I woulda made the trip down even though I had just done canby. Quote Link to comment
fiveNdime Posted January 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 I dont know the exact dates yet guys but I will try to get them for ya. As you can see I have been real busy so I am a little slow on the response. The Blue Lake show isnt much smaller then the Canby show. I would imagine in part of cool people not going to Blue Lake. The show was and is in a different area of the park so now we can have more cars attend. For those of you who have not went to Blue Lake because of the stuff that went down the sell your datsun, cause your not true datsun fans. I dont want to be around people who are like that. The only true story will come from no one. I am like ///FiveOneOh. I love datsuns and theres no one or no thing that can change that. The Blue Lake show is a bit more laid back but i'm that kind of guy. By no means do I recomend one or the other, as they are both a good time. Do both if you can, I know I am. I would also support a datsun show up north in Seatown. OOh ya. Blue Lake and Canby are two different shows. Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 True Datsun fans go to both... or at least would go to both if they had the time :-) Quote Link to comment
datsunfish Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 Its cool to see who here is involved in setting these things up.Some people were talking to me about club "politics"at blue lake last year.I was just there because I could make it and I love Datsuns.And what do I care?Nobody really knows me. I would think the more wide spread events you have to a very specific crowd the lower showing you can expect throughout.Distance can be hard for an old Ratto. I think I could drag my wife to a show in BC.We have been meaning to visit Canada. Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 I'm glad to hear that it's in a different section with more room. I think the last time I went was 4 years ago and it was packed. Quote Link to comment
Bleach Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 What is the news on Bluelake? maybe I'll start a rumor and say its on August 10, 2008 :) Quote Link to comment
DatDoug Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 :mellow::mellow::blink::blink: I think one if them should move to Seattle area....or we should sart our own...the Ratsun Datsun meet.....:cool: I agree! Those shows in Oregon are a serious road trip. There are just as many Dattos up here as there are in Oregon. We could have a great showing in the Seattle are Maybe "GreenLake" or down by Aberdeen and "BlackLake":blink: i think there is a "Silver Lake" somewhere............. Quote Link to comment
fiveNdime Posted February 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 I asked the guys son who runs it, whos name is also Dan, and he hasnt got back to me yet. I asked agian today so we will see if I can get the dates tomarrow. Other then that any ideas again would be cool. Quote Link to comment
