The Sports Car Club of the San Juan Islands and the Rotary Club of San Juan Island invite everyone to attend the tenth annual Concours d’Elegance at the San Juan Vineyards on Sunday, August 28 from 11:00 AM until 3:00 PM.

The Concours is an exhibition of vintage and classic motor vehicles and will have five categories: German, American, Other Countries, Custom/Modified/Hot Rod, and Motorcycles. All vehicles will be eligible for the “People’s Choice” award.

The Concours is a charitable event with this year’s net proceeds going to Hospice of San Juan, the San Juan Island Family Resource Center, and Rotary’s PolioPlus Project. Spectators are welcome with open general admission, although a voluntary tax-deductible contribution of $10.00 is encouraged.

The Argyle Street Jazz Band will play from noon to 2:00 PM and lunch and beverages are available for purchase in the pavilion. It will be great fun for all and donations benefit valuable programs in our community.

Island artist Ary Hobbel has created an original oil portrait for this year’s poster depicting a Porsche 928, which will be seen as one of the show entrants. New this year, the winner of an auction to be held at 1:45 PM will have their vehicle on the 2017 poster to be painted by Ary.

Car owners are encouraged to fill out the Online Entry Form at www.sanjuancouncours.org where additional details can be found.

You can support the San Juan Update by doing business with our loyal advertisers, and by making a one-time contribution or a recurring donation.
