Plan your expedition to survey the Pacific Northwest - land of scenic beauty and friendly people - and to celebrate the Cairn Terrier. Over a long weekend in July, the mighty Columbia River merges with streams of terrific Cairn Terriers from around the country, all flowing by the host hotel and the Portland Metropolitan Exposition Center. The members and friends of the Columbia River Cairn Terrier Club cordially invite you to join us in Portland Oregon for our fifth regional specialty.
Come for the Cairn specialty and enjoy two additional all-breed shows in the spacious, well-lit, air-conditioned Portland Metropolitan Expo Center, situated two miles from our host hotel alongside the scenic Columbia River.

In addition to a lengthy list of amenities, the property features recently redecorated rooms, a riverfront promenade, and a friendly staff. The hotel is very dog-aware and several clubs use it throughout the year to host their specialties on-site. Well-behaved and closely-watched dogs are welcome throughout the grounds, including the lobby. There are casual sitting areas at regular intervals along the corridors on all levels, giving the hotel a convivial feel and providing lots of opportunity to visit with friends old and new.
The Jantzen Beach shopping center is less than a half-mile away, with a variety of shopping and a variety of dining choices without leaving Hayden Island.

Grooming
Reserved Grooming: CRCTC will reserve some grooming space for the communal use of our members and Cairn guests. Because space can be tight we ask that you stack crates efficiently and limit and share chairs to the extent possible. No ex-pens in the communal grooming area. A donation of $5/crate would be gratefully received as means to recover some of the cost. If you prefer having your own reserved space, see premium list for reservation details.
Grooming Tables: For our out-of-town exhibitors who are flying in, we are able to provide a limited number of complimentary grooming tables and crates on-site at the Expo Center for your convenience. To reserve a table and/or crate, contact .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) (email best, or leave msg: 503-671-9019).
