A meeting was held at the ORV Park formerly known as Thurston County ORV Sports Park. All information in this e-mail is for information purposes only. The meeting was led by Ed Bushnell, President of The Northwest Outdoor Coalition. Commissioner Bob Beerbower from Grays Harbor County made a suggestion as to renaming the park back to "Straddleline" with great enthusiam from the attendees. Two news reporters were also in attendance. Safety is always everyones main concern but because of the accidents at the park, concerns were voiced to making the motocross track more user friendly to families and young riders. Work parties are needed to get the park back into shape. Some preliminary work is being done to try and feed the work crews. John Eaton is coordinating the work parties. His e-mail address is: dirtbike@hctc.com . When e-mailing to volunteer please state the days you are available. Equipment you could bring, i.e. lawnmower, shovel, rakes, etc. State what you would prefer to do. If you are certified or licensed as a plumber or electrician and would like to donate your time it would be helpful. The MudSlingers Club have offered their support for our event on the 22nd and 23rd. I stated we would be grateful for the support and that flaggers were sometimes needed. In my opinion, I think at this time all clubs should help each other out for the common goal of opening the park in the best light possible. The entire facility will be under a microscope during the startup period and will be watched very closely by all people and must project a professional and businesslike atmosphere. The keys and approval from Grays Harbor County are needed to gain entrance to the facility and will hopefully be obtained this week for a work party this weekend. Grays Harbor County will be in charge to run the facility and all decisions concerning the park and it's policies will need to be approved through their county.
Thanks Bruce and Carla for the up date
