Senior Fair Returns for Second Year
“The two-day event features a
variety of exhibits and entertainment
geared to those of us that have reached
the 55-year-old plateau,” said organizer
Roger Robertson.
“In our first year, over 2,000 people
signed in,” said Phil Robertson, co-
chairman. “With the amount of advance
publicity, including Modern Maturity,
the nation’s most widely distributed
magazine, the interest shown this year
will exceed that number.”
Admission to Senior Fair 2001 on
July 10-11 is free and open to the
general public. Hourly door prize
drawings for a variety of gifts will take
place. Many exhibitors will have their
own drawings. Chinook Winds will
offer a special senior breakfast on
opening day, July 10.
Senior Fair 2001 is sponsored by
the Lincoln City Chapter of AARP, the
Lincoln City Senior Center, Chinook
Winds, The News Guard, KBCH Radio,
and All Ways Traveling.
AARP state offices will be closed,
except for phone calls, during the two-
day event so the staff can meet its
members at the fair.
“We have invited back some of the
same entertainment we enjoyed last
year,” said Roger Robertson, “But, in
addition, we hope to have an old-time
player piano, lots of big band music, and
a few surprises we are still working on.”
Exhibits for Senior Fair 2001
include Factory Stores @ Lincoln City,
Samaritan North Lincoln Hospital,
Pacific West Ambulance, Wells Fargo
Bank, Dorchester House, Robben
Heating, Shilo Inn, and Radio Shack.
A variety of new booths this year
include Dennis Johnson at Coast
Property and Investment, Bank of the
West, R&J Mobility, Washington
Federal, Lincoln City Rehab, North
Coast Home Care, TLC Credit Union,
Solar Direct, Killers Pest Control,
The Lincoln City Chamber of
Commerce, and the Visitors and
Convention Bureau.
Booth space is going fast. “Booths
not sold will be offered on a first-come,
first-served basis to non-profits,” said
Roger Robertson. Any non-profit that
wants to be involved can purchase a 10’
x 10’ skirted booth at a $100 discount.
Those wishing more information
can call All Ways Traveling in Lincoln
City at 541-996-7474 or Nationwide at
1-800-984-4968.
Some unfinished business involving
the original group got them together
again. To their surprise, they found that
they all shared the same resurgence of
interest in music and a growing desire to
try it all over again.
Traveling only during the summer,
the group performs their hit songs such
as “Joy To The World,” “An Old-
Fashioned Love Song,” “Eli’s Coming,”
“One,” “Easy To Be Hard,” “Mama Told
Me Not To Come,” and “Shambala.”
Three Dog Night
to Perform
Come “Celebrate” with Three Dog
Night at Chinook Winds Casino on July
20 and 21. When the group struck gold
with “Joy to the World” in 1971, fans
worldwide acclaimed their driving pop/
rock sound and powerful harmonies.
Today, Three Dog Night delivers its
signature sound to audiences spanning
generations. The current line-up features
founding members Cory Wells and
Danny Hutton on lead vocals as well as
original keyboardist Jimmy Greenspoon
and lead guitarist Michael Allsup. Paul
Kingery (bass) and Patrick Bautz
(drums) also have joined the group.
Formed originally in 1968 by Hutton
with the novel concept of showcasing lead
singers who also could harmonize
together, the group was enormously
successful right from the start. They
toured extensively during the early ‘70s.
By 1975, however, the rigors of nonstop
roadwork caught up with the group.
“We became disenchanted,” Wells
says today. “We just quietly backed out
of the picture. We always had a sort of
verbal agreement that we were never
going to exploit the public for our own
gain. We were not going to do four or
five ‘farewell tours’ just to rake in the
money. We had come on the scene
quietly and we were going to leave the
same way, with dignity.”
