This was the largest race ever held at Chehalem Valley BMX and was the largest of the weekend. Sunbreaks and cooler temperatures made for excellent racing weather.

Crater Park Concession Restroom Building Dedicated

A belated formal dedication ceremony was held for the concessions and restroom building at Darnell Wright Sports Complex on Thursday, June 17 on Field #3.

The dedication plaque was unveiled, permanently affixed to the outside wall of the building. Director Mike Ragsdale and Parks Supervisor Jim McMaster spoke briefly. A BBQ was served to our generous volunteers.

This facility was constructed largely by volunteers who donated their time, labor and professional expertise. The cost for the building was approximately $74,291 for materials, permits, and engineering. To build this building today without donations would likely exceed $200,000.

The building opened for business in September, 2009. Until that time, a trailer and portable restrooms served during the games.
