Our Services
Serving and Honoring All Veterans
We do not discriminate. A veteran is a veteran. We welcome all walks of life and will welcome you again in years to come.
☆ The North Coast Stand Down is for you!
All Veterans and their families and pets are welcome at the Stand Down. Over-night housing is provided for those want to stay on-site.
Registration for the Stand Down is available on site. We no longer register in advance of the event. Veterans can register at the gate at Humboldt County Fairgrounds in Ferndale beginning at 8 am Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Please bring your ID.
Transportation to and from the Stand Down is free for Veterans and their families. Stand Down Vans are Pet Friendly. The vans run throughout the day and return in the evening after dinner.
Overnight Accommodations include free barrack-style housing and tents are available for those who want to stay at our event. There will be separate accommodations available for men, women and families.
Call (707) 633-8411 for additional transportation and shuttle service information.
♥ Pet Services
Pets are welcome to attend the Stand Down with their Veteran. After checking in at Veteran Registration please proceed to the Pet Services Barn to register your pet. All Veterans attending with a pet will need to abide by the following:
- All dogs need to be leashed when on the fairgrounds.
- Please pick-up all pet waste and dispose of it in an appropriate receptacle.
- If your pet is not current on rabies vaccination please let Pet Services know so appropriate safety measures can be taken.
- We encourage all owners to spay and neuter their pets. For more information, speak with Pet Services.
- If you would like to have Pet Services kennel your pet additional information will be given when arrangements are made.
