08/24/2007: "2nd Annual Concours d’Elegance"

August 25, 2007 11:00 AM UNTIL 3:30 PM, San Juan Vineyards

The Second Annual Concours d’Elegance of the San Juan Islands will be held Saturday, August 25th, at the San Juan Vineyards, 3136 Roche Harbor Road, Friday Harbor, Washington. This exciting event will be organized by The Sports Car Club of The San Juan Islands.

Celebrating the spirit of great American and European carmakers, the event will feature a cross-section of classic automobiles exhibited by Island owners and some of the finest from private Northwest collectors. This year the “Featured Marque” will be Porsche. First and Second place awards will be made in 10 separate classes as well as an overall “Best of Show” award. While these awards will recognize some outstanding automobiles, everyone is encouraged to enter their vehicle and join in the fun. Summer in the San Juans, viewing unique cars, enjoying fine wine, with an event benefiting our community…….an unbeatable combination.

The Concours d’Elegance will solely benefit the Inter Island Medical Center through the Inter Island Healthcare Foundation* and the net proceeds will help purchase an X-ray digitizer. Last year the Concours d’Elegance proceeds funded initial ground work for a new ‘Critical Access Hospital’ on San Juan Island to replace our aging Medical Center.

*IRS 501(c)3 organization allowing tax exempt contributions for various aspects of the event.

General admission is free but a voluntary tax deductible donation of $10 is encouraged. The ‘Automobile Exhibitor’ entry fee of $30 includes a memento of the occasion and admission for two people. For those interested in displaying a car, please download the Registration Form on this page.
