OVERNIGHT RV PARKING The following information, form and instructions are for anyone wishing to park overnight on the Fairgrounds. Reservations and fees are to be mailed to Mike Zury and are due on October 3, 2018. On October 13, 2009 the San Francisco Bay Area was deluged by the largest wind and rain storm in 50 years. RV s began rolling onto the Alameda County Fairgrounds on October 15. The grounds were soaked and the Fairgrounds asked us not to use most of the grass areas we usually used for parking. We lost 98 parking spaces. Some of you ended up parking a very long way away from where you wanted to be. We sincerely apologize to you for this inconvenience, but it was Mother Nature in charge, not us. With a little luck we ll have back all our normal parking spaces. 2018 HARVEST MOON CLASSIC RV PARKING FORM We ask all exhibitors to be patient with us as we are dealing with new Fairgrounds on-site rules. We are the only event still permitted to park on the grounds so we are doing our best to make this work for all involved. All RV parking is through Gate 12 off Valley Avenue. Make the first right after passing the Watch & Wager Building and follow the signs. Do not proceed to your RV parking space without an escort. $50 per night for a 20 x 40 space. If your vehicle is larger you must buy two spaces. Reserved Box Van day parking $35. Unreserved RV overnight parking in large paved parking lot is $70 per night. Electrical hook-ups not guaranteed. If available in your area you will be charged $40 for electrical. Del Valle does not make a profit on RV parking; we are simply passing along to you what we are charged. Trailers and tow units may be required to be unhitched. Tagalong vehicles will be parked in a special area. All vehicles must have a working fire extinguisher, be self-contained, no discharge of gray water permitted. No electrical cords permitted across paths or roadways. Persons who break open locked boxes or otherwise damage property in order to find electricity will be held responsible for damage and may be asked to leave. No running of generators after 11 p.m. or before 5 a.m. Those wishing to park together must send reservations in together; however, there is no guarantee that we can accommodate all requests. All parking is at your own risk. Neither the Alameda Co. Fair Assn. nor Harvest Moon Classic assumes any responsibility for fire, theft, and/or loss of vehicles or their contents. The Cluster reserves the right to withdraw parking privileges, without return of parking or entry fees, for anyone who cannot abide by these rules or who resorts to abusive language or actions. Violators may be subject to Event Committee charges. Reserved RV overnight parking hours: Wednesday 2 p.m. to 11 p.m., all other days 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. If your assigned spot is on the show grounds you will have to wait until judging in that area concludes as no moving vehicles permitted past active rings.

Unloading & Parking Information (provided by Del Valle Dog Club) Unloading for Specialties is very specific for each ring area. The Alameda County Fairgrounds is a very large venue and it can be difficult for newcomers to find their way around. Unloading and parking instructions will be printed in the Judging Schedule. Directions to show grounds: From North or South on 680, exit Bernal Ave east. At Valley Ave signal turn left onto Valley Ave. Enter the Show Grounds through Gate 12. Multi-day parking passes will be available. Any exhibitor may drive onto the grounds to unload between 6:00 AM and 7:15 AM. Please leave your headlights on while on the grounds. All vehicles must be off the grounds by 7:30 AM or they will be towed. Be sure to allow yourself plenty of time as, for obvious safety reasons, this time cannot be extended. Except for medical emergencies, no vehicle may drive onto the show grounds after 7:15 AM. You may drive back onto the grounds to load up only after all judging in your area has concluded. After 7:15 AM an unloading loop will be open all day between the Young California and Exhibition Buildings (accessed through the main paved parking lot) and through the tunnel in the back for the North Forty rings. Unloading: Proceed straight ahead. At end of roadway make a right and go through the tunnel. Parking: After unloading return your vehicle to the designated parking outside the tunnel. Attendants will be available for assistance. ALL PARKING IS AT YOUR OWN RISK. The Del Valle Dog Club and Alameda County Fairgrounds assume no responsibility for fire, theft and/or damage to any vehicle or its cargo.
