News, views and advertising of the Grand Coulee Dam Area

What happened to car show?

Letters from our reader

In regard to the most pathetic car show in history, last weekend (June 14). Seriously?

What happened to the big North Dam car shows from the past or a car show lining both sides of Main Street? There was no advertising, no word of mouth, no one knew anything. Six cars attended, ha ha, that has to be the world record. How embarrassing. Why did someone decide that it would be a good idea to combine a kid’s fest and 40 sign protesters together with a non-advertised car show? Why not go back to days of a stand-alone advertised car show with vendors, a band, and whatever? I went to the Sand Point car show 3 weeks ago and there were so many car entrances that they had to find extra parking for them, along with celebrities and vendors. Our group of 15 traveled from as far as Port Orchard, Wa., to go to this thing, and you know why it worked? Advertisement, vendor participation, city organization! Now that’s a car show!
