This year’s Concours d’Elegance is Sunday…

Here’s the scoop on this year’s event – see you there!

It's this weekend...

This year’s Concours d’Elegance is on Sunday, August 29th, 2010 at San Juan Vineyards.  The event is from 11:00 am to 3:30 pm.  This is an annual event and is organized by the Sports Car Club of the San Juan Islands in association with the Rotary Club of San Juan Island.   All sports, classic and special interest automobiles are invited to participate.  If someone is interested in registering an automobile for the event, the schedule and registration form may be downloaded athttp://sanjuanconcours.org/ or call 360-370-5531.

The registration cost for the first automobile is $30.00 with additional automobiles at $10.00 each.  For anyone who wishes to register an automobile, they are also invited to participate in an “Island Tour” Saturday August 28, 2010, ending with a casual wine and appetizer function at the home of Bob and Lisa McDowell.

The major sponsors this year will again be Barrier Porsche and Liberty Printing & Design Center.  Their participation in this annual event help to make it a success and along with support from visitors that day, this year’s event will be another successful one.  Last year this event attracted 81 entries, and approximately 800 people.  We hope to surpass those numbers this year, and with everyone’s help we can do it.

This is a major fund raising event, and the net proceeds from the Concours d’Elegance will be distributed by the Rotary Club of San Juan Island, with the majority of the funds going to Hospice of San Juan.  Rotary International’s Polio Eradication Project will also receive $1,000 from the net proceeds.  We encourage everyone to come and view the entries, with admission by donation.  Again the hours to view the entries are from 11:00 AM to 3:30 PM, and the suggested donation is $10 per adult.  A boxed lunch will be available to purchase from the Medical Guild, and the numerous wine offerings from San Juan Vineyard will also be available.

San Juan Rotary and the Sports Car Club of San Juan Island hope to make this year’s event the most successful ever.  We invite all to come and take pleasure in the fabulous automobiles and the pure enjoyment one gets from an event like this one.
