No car show but CCR still coming

If you were planning on making a drive up Harrison Ferry Mountain for the car and motorcycle show tomorrow at Pish-La-Ki, you can save yourself the trip.

There’s not going to be a show.

Pish-La-Ki owners Burgess and Janie Luna apologize for the inconvenience, but say they never had anything to do with the car and motorcycle show. Rather, it was a project planned under prior management and an employee, Ross Davis, who is no longer with the restaurant.

“I don’t want people to come up here thinking there’s going to be a car show,” said Janie. “We don’t want anyone to be disappointed.”

The Lunas had given up operating Pish-La-Ki on a day-to-day basis to concentrate on their McMinnville business, Planet Pizza. But when new management was unable to keep the restaurant afloat, Burgess and Janie decided to take back Pish-La-Ki operations.

When that occurred, the Lunas concentrated their efforts on bringing CCR, Creedence Clearwater Revisited, to the Pish-La-Ki amphitheater and did not attempt to continue any previous promotions.

“We want people to know Ross Davis is in no way affiliated with Pish-La-Ki,” said Janie. “And the Creedence concert is still very much a go.”

CCR will perform in concert at Pish-La-Ki over Labor Day weekend, Monday, Sept. 2 at 2 p.m. Tickets are available at Planet Pizza or by calling 507-4444 or 668-2010.
