The Downtown Campbell Car Show is a great opportunity for your business or organization to be seen. Because our car show is about doing fun things to create community and supporting small locally owned businesses, we've kept the sponsorship rates affordable to allow more businesses and organizations that love Campbell to participate.

We're keeping this simple. It's just one rate. $350 gets you on the back of this year's t-shirt plus you get on our sponsor grid on the official Historic Downtown Campbell Car Show Page.

If you'd like to join in and support our car show with a sponsorship, please email [email protected] for details. Space is limited to 24 sponsors.

The City of Campbell is developing its first Climate Action and Adaptation Plan to reduce emissions in Campbell and build resiliency against the impacts of climate change (like hotter temperatures, longer droughts, and more severe storms). Please take our survey to provide input on how we should prioritize our efforts. This survey is for anyone who visits Campbell.

The community has identified some preliminary priorities, and the planning team has developed a list of actions to help the City achieve its climate goals. The next step in the planning process is to decide which actions the City should take, and how ambitious we should be with those actions. Without ambitious, high impact actions, we will not be able to meet the state’s climate goals.

Thank you for your patience everyone. We've been getting a lot of inquiries on when we'll be opening registration for our 2025 Car Show to be held on Saturday, June 7th. We now have a date for you.

Registrations for all entries will begin on Sunday, April 6th at 10am. Registrations will be handled through our car show registration website, carshow.downtowncampbell.com.

If you've entered before, our entry process will be in the same format as in previous years. You will need to submit photos of your car with your entry and we'd love it if you had interesting stories to share about your car.

In this blog, we’ll discuss how CBD helps dogs and enhances their quality of life. Get our expert recommendations for the best CBD for dog anxiety.

How does CBD help dogs? Well, Cloud City believes that pets are a part of the family. Therefore, they should receive the same care and attention as any other loved one. In the same way humans do, dogs also experience stress and anxiety. They are subject to the same age-related illnesses and discomfort that can negatively impact their quality of life. Traditional veterinary solutions include the same pharmaceutical treatments and medication, with the same host of unwanted side effects we try to avoid for ourselves. So, today’s pet parents tout CBD as an effective, natural aid to support their furry friend’s well-being in all the best ways.

How does CBD help dogs?

Whether behavioral or situational, cannabidiol (CBD) is a safe supplement that supports every aspect of your dog’s health.

  • Social and separation anxiety: CBD treats are an easy way to manage your furry companion’s anxiety. Giving them CBD before taking them outside or leaving them inside helps calm their stress in response to loud noises, unfamiliar environments, and any other associated overwhelming emotions or anxious behaviors they exhibit when outside their comfort zone.
  • Sleep disturbances: Dogs’ instincts to safeguard their home and protect their owners explain why most are light sleepers. However, this primal instinct can harm their health if the disruption is frequent or prolonged. Lack of sleep affects your dog’s mood, behavior, and vital physiological functions. CBD can help regulate your dog’s sleep patterns and improve sleep quality for dogs who become overly aggressive, have traumatic backgrounds, or are naturally high-strung.
  • Pain management: Many older dogs suffer from joint pain and arthritis, leaving them in constant pain and inhibiting mobility. This can turn primary sources of joy, like daily walks or playtime activities, into stress-inducing events. CBD’s anti-inflammatory effects offer a great alternative to prescription medications. Even for life-threatening conditions, such as cancer, vets may recommend pairing painkillers with CBD oil to mitigate unwanted side effects and even enhance NSAID effectiveness.
  • Sensitive skin: If your dog has sensitive skin or is susceptible to seasonal weather changes, CBD also helps regulate necessary bodily functions like moisture retention and inflammatory response.
  • Digestion: Cannabidiol reduces inflammation and is particularly beneficial for the gastrointestinal tract (GI). For dogs suffering from chronic conditions like

To kick off 2025, we hosted our third annual blood drive (yes, cannabis consumers can donate blood!), which, per usual, was a tremendous success. We recruited dozens of generous individuals who stepped up to contribute to a lifesaving cause. A week later, we put on a Blaze & Bubbles event, a Galentine’s Day-themed rolling class complete with live music, champagne, and goody bags participants got to take home and enjoy.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but downtowns like this one all across America run on the backs of women. A lot of people have absolutely no idea how critical women are to the local small business community and in creating the small town cultures we celebrate as if they just happened on their own.

In many downtowns like this one, businesses owned or managed by women are in the majority. Dig deeper you'll find that most of the people who run and serve on committees to produce the uniquely local activities and celebrations that you cherish are women.

When you support small businesses, chances are you're supporting the efforts of a woman who's bucking the odds. When you support women, you are supporting the culture that makes a place the place you know.

It doesn't matter how you choose to do it. Now, more than ever... stand behind women.
