Western Region Lincoln & Continental Owners Club Event Calendar
Upcoming Event Calendar for the Lincoln & Continental Owners Club Western Region.
We present our club events and other events we think you may be interested in. If you have an event you would like listed here please contact us through the contact us link on this page.
The LCOC will be at The 2018 California State Fair on July 27th this year. Our members are encouraged to register their pre-1975 cars for this outstanding event. In fact, all pre-1975 Lincoln’s are welcome to participate whether their owners are in LCOC or not . The Early Ford V8 Club also will participate on the same day. The fair runs from July 13th. through the 29th at the Cal Expo in Sacramento. This will be a lot of fun and best of all it’s free!
We meet in the morning outside the fair and all go in together. We can bring as many people as we can fit in our cars and our own food and drinks. We show our cars in a roped off area near the race track. The fair provides us with a nice big shade tent. Bring your own chairs and ice chest. You can roam the fair and see all the exhibits and shows or hang out by the cars in our own private tent. It’s really nice to have a place at the fair to take a break with your friends.
The event is open to all pre-1975 cars. You and your guests will have free in and out privileges and you can even get free parking for a modern car but your Lincoln has to stay until 7 p.m. or the end of the last race. Contact Steve Walker for more info; steve@walkerrealty.net

“October in the High Desert, Atoms, Balloons, and Cars”
October 17– 21, 2018
The 2018 Western National Meet is sponsored by the LCOC National and is hosted by the New Mexico Region. Albuquerque is an oasis in the high desert, full of rich history and inspiring museums. Albuquerque features diverse cultures, authentic art, and vibrant traditions, which have helped to shape a modern city that is set against a backdrop of the stunning Sandia Mountains, displaying century-old relics along historic Route 66 and endless blue sky.
Arrive Wednesday and join other LCOC members at a welcome reception that evening and get a head start Thursday’s events. Especially attractive to visit are the Albuquerque shops and restaurants located in Old Town, just off Central Avenue.
