DREAM MACHINES FUND-RAISER EVENT UNEXPECTEDLY CANCELLED AS HALF MOON BAY AIRPORT OFFICIALS CONVERT VENUE TO FARMING

HALF MOON BAY, CA (February 7, 2022) – This cannot possibly be happening again, but is. Rinse and repeat.

The Coastside Adult Day Health Center, the primary organizing body and beneficiary of the popular Pacific Coast Dream Machines Show, today announced the unexpected cancellation of this year’s show, initially planned for April 24 at Half Moon Bay Airport.

Inexplicably after three months of planning by show organizers, just last week San Mateo County Airport officials notified organizers that a substantial portion of the airport field, in the heart of the events major attractions area, was under cultivation and actively being farmed and therefore not available to the show.

Event organizers determined changing everything to scale down the event to fit into what remains of the event’s allocated airport space would result in much higher cost, added complexity and a Dream Machines Show that would not approach the high standard or fund-raising success that has been established over the last 30 years.

The decision to convert much of the former event space to expand a farming operation very much puts the Dream Machines Show future in question, a disappointing and frustrating state of affairs for a beloved community fundraiser and ironically a showcase event for the airport.

Heartbreak, frustration and disappointment that words simply cannot convey for a third consecutive year and this year it's not COVID created.

The refunding process will be underway shortly.
