Come downtown Sunday for the 11th Annual Kirkland Classic Car Show in Marina Park and downtown streets.

Dick Beazell and I with the Kirkland Downtown Association started this show more than 11 years ago to help bring business to the downtown core.

This show could not be put on without Legends Car Club, a Pacific Northwest club that promotes the hobby of collector cars and motorcycles. The club has no restrictions on types of motor vehicles. The club runs two shows a year, Kirkland Classic Car Show and the Snoqualmie Railroad Days, with most of the proceeds going to local charities.

We hope to see all of you downtown on July 28. Please keep in mind that the following streets will be closed on Sunday from 5 a.m. to 5 p.m.: Lake Street from Central Way to Second Avenue; Kirkland Avenue to Main Street and Park Lane. The parking lot at Lake Street and Central Way will be closed.

For those of you who were at the 4th of July parade, you saw a sample of some of the cars that will be in the show.

Just a reminder that this is a free event for spectators from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

A special thanks to Amber Chenowith and Alan Weiskind for all of their hard work on the show this year.

We would also like to thank our presenting sponsor, Seattle Metropolitan Credit Union, and also Ford of Kirkland, Lee Johnson Auto Family, Hector’s and Milagro Cantina for their continued sponsorship of the show.

The Kirkland Classic Car Show is also a Seafair-sanctioned event, and the Seafair Pirates will be joining us in the afternoon.
