Thank you!
Oildorado is a non-profit organization, comprised of an all-volunteer board of directors, that is committed to providing our community with a large celebration of our history every 5 years, with the exception of 2020. Oildorado will take place in 2021 and relies on sponsors. Many of the activities are free to the community or prices are reduced due to the generosity of our sponsors.
We want to thank them for their support and encourage you to consider supporting them when you need the services they provide. Links to their businesses can be found by clicking on their logo.
