Cruise-In Possibilities
Bud Worley recently contacted us to let any clubs who lost their venue, due to the closing of the Triple XXX Drive-In, that the Mustard Seed Restaurant — 5608 119th Ave SE, New Port Hills, Bellevue, WA already hosts a Wednesday night cruise-in from 3pm-7pm. They are also open to hosting car shows and have room for over 100 cars on their paved parking lot. If you are looking for a new venue, call Bud at 206.601.1762.
Griot’s Garage, 3333 S 38th St, Tacoma, WA 98409 also hosts various events year-round and may still have a few dates open for club sponsored car shows. Contact them at 253.922.2200 or 800.345.5789.
Early Bird Swap Meet Returns To Puyallup
Back in February 2023, at the close of the Early Bird Swap Meet, the Tacoma Model T Club announced that they were no longer going to sponsor the show BUT since then a new sponsor has since come forward so the 2024 event will go on this coming February in Puyallup as before.This year’s Early Bird Swap Meet is being held February 17 & 18 at the Washington State Fairgrounds, 110 — 9th Ave SW, Puyallup, WA 98371. Adm is $10, booth space starts at $50.
The new owner/sponsor of the Early Bird Swap Meet is SilverDollarPub out of Spanaway, WA. The new owners are planning on making the event bigger & better than ever. Vendor Space is still available. Call them at (253) 318‑6385 or email to: admin at SilverDollarPub.com if you have any questions about the event. As per usual, I will be in the main hall in our usual spot against the wall near the refreshment stalls. Grab some fair scones from the food vendors and stop to chat by our booth and pick up a few Yellow Books. I wouldn’t say no to a couple of scones …
NOTE: Listing Error for Portland Roadster Show
We goofed! Our Listing on page 18 of the 2024 Yellow Book for the 68th Annual Portland Roadster Show on March 15–17 has some garbled info in it. The correct address for the event is: Portland Expo Center, 2060 N Marine Drive, Portland, OR 97217 and a working phone number for the Multinomah Hot
Rod Council is 503.232.4567. Email to dc33ford at yahoo.com. How our phone number and Kamiah location got into this listing is a bewildering event that our data based should not have allowed. We apologize for the error and thank eagle-eyed Roger Billings for spotting the error and notifying us.
Don’t Miss These Fun Events!
The Mistequa Casino Car Show, this August 3
in Chewelah, WA (about an hour North of Spokane)
should be quite an event. Not only is the casino/hotel
very nice & offering great food, but the adjacent auto
museum promises to add an extra level of enjoyment
to this mid-summer car show. Don’t miss it!
Over on the Olympic Peninsula, in Port Angeles, WA
the local Kiwanis Club is sponsoring their Third Annual
Car Show & Chili Cookoff this August 31 at the Clallam County Fairgrounds. The Car Show & Chili Cookoff event has been a real fun time for all over the past couple of years and proceeds benefit Kiwanis Club Charity for Kids. For details, contact Lynn Spradling 360.461.9308. Cool cars and hot chili. What more could you ask for!
The 40th Annual Rod Run to the ‘End of the World’ is being held on Sept 7–8 in Ocean Park, WA. The Beach Barons Car Club puts on the annual event, and they work hard to make one of the events of its type in the Northwest. If you’ve never attended, make it a must do event for 2024. You won’t regret it!
