With a passion for event planning, community engagement, and operational excellence, Brian Crow is the driving force behind the Clackamas County Event Center. As Executive Director, Brian oversees the county fairgrounds, home to the Clackamas County Fair & Canby Rodeo, and a variety of year-round events that bring people together.
Brian’s leadership has led to significant growth in revenue, enhanced customer experiences, and streamlined operations at the Event Center. He has played a key role in major initiatives, including the development of a new multipurpose expo hall, securing strategic investments, and expanding event offerings like Canby Brewfest, the Clackamas County Winter Fair, and the newly envisioned FOBtoberfest.
With years of experience in large-scale event production—including roles at Boots and Hearts, Creation Festivals, and the Madras-Jefferson County Chamber of Commerce—Brian understands how to create unforgettable experiences. He is actively involved in the local business community, serving as the Second Vice President of the Canby Area Chamber of Commerce and as a director with the Clackamas County Tourism Council.
Beyond his work, Brian enjoys classic trucks, a good county fair theme, and avoiding unnecessary workplace drama. When he’s not orchestrating events, you might find him dreaming up new ways to grow and improve the Event Center—or just enjoying a quiet moment with his family.
