SEQUIM — Vintage trucks, logging demonstrations and fiddle music will be the highlights of the Museum & Arts Center in the Sequim-Dungeness Valley’s fourth annual Museum Field Day on Saturday.
Several area collectors will fill the MAC’s DeWitt Center field, 544 N. Sequim Ave., with their vintage vehicles for the outdoor event, scheduled from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
“Many people have expended much energy and time to make this event exciting and historically connected to our cultural heritage,” said MAC Executive Director DJ Bassett.
Scheduled activities also include a two-man saw-logging demonstration, demonstrations of hit-and-miss engines by Randy Frick and music by the Washington Old Time Fiddlers.
The Curbside Bistro will sell food.
Trish and Dave Bekkevar, proprietors of Bekkevar Logging & Trucking in Sequim, will display their 1929 Caterpillar Ten Crawler at the event, as well as several logging-related photographs from their private collection.
Other vehicles scheduled to appear include a 1916 Mack log truck owned by Brad Fletcher, a 1941 International K-8 log truck owned by Dan Johnson, a 1945 Cletrac Crawler owned by Dana Davis and a fully restored 1946 log truck owned by Bill Hermann of Hermann Brothers Logging & Construction in Port Angeles.
Also, Clallam County Fire District No. 3 will display a 1939 Ford Mercury 95-horsepower gas-fired engine, which was fully restored by local firefighters in 1984.
Fire Chief Steve Vogel said the fire engine, which is capable of pumping water from its 250-gallon water tank, arrived in Sequim on Oct. 24, 1939, and was used by the fire department into the mid-1970s.
Clallam County Fire District No. 3 now uses the truck for fire-prevention classes.
