There are many great car events out there . . . unfortunately, our Events Calendar isn't really designed to hold them all . . . so the general policy will be that you will find club, Corvette, and NWACC events on the Events Calendar (remember, these are color-coded - check the Legend). You will also find local car events that may be of interest - it is our belief that there is a need to support our local car communities and festivals or we may lose these events in the future. Many of them have Corvette awards or other related awards such as Best Convertible as well as fun events like cruise-ins. The area covered will be approximately Yelm to Centralia/Chehalis to Grays Harbor . . . there is not a strict boundary . . . Although these are not official club events, if you take advantage of the "Registration" button you will be able to see who else from the club is going and make your own plans to caravan and/or park together (utilize the club roster to make contact with other members).
Here is the definitive listing of car shows, swap meets, and cruise-ins around the Northwest:
