Derby Days 2012
“Hoppin Towards Good Times” in the early 2010s on the 59th annual Derby Days in Yamhill.
Did you know that Derby Days has had a unique theme throughout the years. Check out this history of our themes over the years.
I like the 1999 theme “That Was the Century That Was” - fantastic.
Derby Days themes over the years
Another staple in the Derby Days story has been the T&E General Store and it’s involvement in the annual event. We still setup the announcer’s tent in front of the store, gather the silent auction items in the upstairs storage area for safe keeping, and when we’re short on power for the microphones, we run an extension cable right through the front door and use a spare outlet inside.
Thanks Bob!
