CHINOOK BEND NEWS

Spring 2010

Chinook Bend RV Resort and Marina welcomes you back for the 2010 camping, boating and fishing season. The weather so far has been great, very nice sunny January and February days. The nights are still cold, some nights are in the high *20’s to low *30’s.

 "Cleanup Crew"

The staff of Chinook Bend Resort have been working long hours, cleaning up after the winter season. The majority of the clean up has been downed trees, brush and debris from the Siletz River and overgrown berry bushes and weeds on the walking trails. The crew has been busy clearing the walking trails, repairing the boat docks and trimming scrubs and trees throughout the park. We feel grateful that we did not experience flooding this winter (the first time since 2006). This has made the task of cleaning the park a lot easier.

"Get Your Party On"

There are a lot of festivities planned for this season, Memorial Day, 4^th of July and Labor Day just to name a few. We are planning to have a series of concerts at the River-deck, and BBQ’s throughout the camping season.   

 "Hungry? We got your Grand Slam."

The Sunday morning breakfasts will return with all you can eat pancakes, bacon, eggs, biscuits, gravy, sausage, fruit, orange juice and coffee. Entertainment will accompany breakfast on several of the Sundays.

 “Family Hole In One Anyone?”

We are planning a golf tournament for children. Parents and grand parents are also invited. We will supply the golf clubs and golf balls; there will be prizes awarded and a BBQ at the end of the tournament.

 “ODFW Report”

The fishing season is expected to be great this year. All indications so far from Oregon Fish and Wildlife is that the Salmon Season will be one of the best in recent times. So far, the Steelhead and Blue-Back (ocean going trout) runs are doing great.

 "Sunfest 2010”

We have taken reservations for the Sunfest Festival which will be held toward the end of June. A large number of tent campers and RV’s will be in attendance. Several food and specialty vendors have committed to this event

“2010 is the year to Focus on Events”

This upcoming season will be a fun one, we have lots of events planned, snipe hunts (my wife really liked snipe hunting) hat party, ice cream social, volunteer fireman’ fundraiser (spaghetti feed) and much more. Call in and make your reservations to join us. We hope that this will be a great season for your family, stop by and say Hi.

"The End"

Well, I have come to the end of a long list of Chinook Bend information. However, I want to say from my heart, that the members and staff have made campground ownership one of the most exciting adventures in which I have ever been involved. As always, we have a great team with the support of cousin Billy, sister Cheryl (Master Baiter, bait shop extraordinaire), Vern and Elaine, Ralph and Karen, Martine, Rosa and Dorothy, good friend and believer in a dream “Kyburz Bob”, and most of all my wife Nat (she would have been happy with just my retirement). I want to invite you to join us this season, for lots of fun, family interaction and adventure at Chinook Bend Resort.

Great camping and best wishes

John Telban
