SEQUIM — Peninsula Dream Machines members hope that more than 200 antique, classic and custom cars roll in for the first Sequim Lavender Festival car show.
The show will run from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday on the grass at the Sequim school fields near Second Avenue and Fir Street, the site of the final day of the Sequim Lavender Festival’s Street Fair.
“Last year was just an experiment,” said Bill Zynda, an Agnew resident who drives a 1950 Ford two-door custom sedan as a member of the Dream Machines.
“We still had about 40 from the local car clubs between Sequim Valley and our car club.”
Besides Peninsula Dream Machines, the Sequim Valley Car Club and the Sequim Lavender Growers Association are sponsoring the car show, proceeds of which will benefit the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Olympic Peninsula.
Car owners will check in at 8 a.m., registering for $15 to benefit the youth organization.
Pancake breakfast
A free pancake breakfast comes with each registration and is $5 extra for guests.
Concessions will be served.
A panel of teens with the Sequim Boys & Girls Club will judge the cars for best of show and two other places.
Other prizes to top vehicles, including the car that drove the farthest, will be awarded as well as a special prize from the Sequim Lavender Growers Association.
Live music by classic rock band Chantilly Lace is on tap at the car show.
Raffles and drawings
Raffles and 50-50 drawings are scheduled.
That means 50 percent of drawing proceeds go to the Boys & Girls Club and the other half to the winner.
Zynda said he and other club members have distributed promotional fliers from Forks to Poulsbo in an effort to get the word out about the show.
He said the club also took out an advertisement with the Freeland-based CruZin’ magazine, which showcases Northwest auto events.
