FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Get ready for Sand Fest 2001! - But first note the new NAME - Oregon Dune Fest 2001 (Go HERE for information about this year's Dune Fest)

Coming to Winchester Bay, OR - August 9, 10, 11 and 12, 2001

June 22, 2001 -- That's right we're well on our way to the biggest and most exciting Sand Festival yet. For the third year Sand Fest brings back official ASDA Drag Races and of course we couldn't come back without our ever popular Poker Run giving all who play a wonderful scenic tour and a chance to win great prizes. Racers can contact the ASDA for pre-registration at adminastretion@sanddrags.com  

What "they" had to say about Sand Fest: 

Sand Fest has been given high praise, 1999 - "With lakes, lush forests and the ocean, the Oregon Dunes are like no other. What a great place for a festival" 

4-WHEEL ATV ACTION magazine. 2000 - "America's Sand Box, These dunes are the tallest coastal dunes in the country. Reaching several hundred feet high. They are also steep, and the most scenic" DIRT WHEELS magazine. 

The Venders Fair & RV Show will be on Beach Blvd. and free to the public, we anticipate the return of most previous Venders and the introduction of many more. There are plans to have a Beer Garden/Dance with live music on Saturday. We are arranging shuttles from the Dunes to the Venders Fair and back, although the paved street will be special permitted to ride on during the Fest. There will also be additional food venders at the Race Pit area.

To get there: Take I-5 from North or South - West on Hwy 38 to Reedsport - South on Hwy 101 - 3 miles to Winchester Bay.

There is sand camping available throughout the State Parks and will be available at the Drag area by permit only. Contact the Reedsport/Winchester Bay Chamber of Commerce for more information about Motel and RV Park locations (541) 271-3495.

So mark your calendars for AUGUST 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th. Oregon Dune Fest 2001
