Beautifully restored classic cars will fill
the "closed-to-traffic" streets in historic Wallace, where
there will also be the music at the Gazebo, lots of
activities for kids on the Depot lawn, various ethnic
and traditional food booths, and a model train exhibit.
The Depot was built in 1902 using special
bricks brought from China as ballast originally destined
for a huge hotel in Tacoma, Washington.
There will be drawings for several prizes, with the Grand Prize being ~9 ounces of 0.999 fine Idaho silver bars, silver wire and ribbon, together with silver "nuggets" beautifully framed to create an outstanding display by Hal Payne. Second prize is a $75 gift certificate at the Idaho Silver Shop, and the third prize is a collection of auto accessories. Registration for cars ($15) in various categories will be between 7:00 and 11:00 PM . Trophies and raffle winners will be awarded at 3:30 PM . Qualify to win $100 raffle with pre-registration.
