Hello All,
This town is pretty good size but well laid out and very easy to get around in. There are several core areas that have food and lodging very close to each other. Some are within walking distance and all of them are within 15 minutes of the fairgrounds.
There are two main arteries to this town and they are 6th Street running east & west and Washburn running north & south. The main artery into and leaving town is highway 97. All of these roads are very easy to travel and are very conducive to any RV that you are driving or pulling.
There is a very nice historic pert to this town that has a lot of little shops and could offer some enjoyment for those folks that like to walk the town and see all the shops. This town is a little trickier to navigate because of all the one way streets, but it’s not that bad.

This is a very nice hotel right across the street from the fairgrounds. The Rooster Grill & pub is right in front of the motel and they are giving 10% off of all meals when you tell them you are with the Oregon Association of Taxidermist. Within walking distance from the motel you have Mr. B’s Steak house and Wubba’s BBQ Shack.
