A Visit To The Annual Cowlitz County Unique Tin Car Show and Swap Meet 2008

What a unique experience! I had not attended the car show in few years and was surprised of how much has change and grown. According to organizers this show attracts over 3,000 spectators each year and listening to the announcers over the microphone the attendance on Saturday was a record breaker.  This yearly event has marked the end of Cowlitz County Summer fun events for the last of 34 years.

 The event opened the doors at 8:00 a.m. to hundreds of classic and custom-built cars, trucks and some motorcycles, swap meet, vendors and early eager spectators. Then was followed by exciting events throughout the day like some line dance performance, some contests with up to $300 prices, award and parade of winners presentation and ended with the 9:00 p.m. Longview Downtown controlled Cruise, were according to The Daily News there were over 600 permits issued to participate in this event.

So, if you miss it this year, you are invited to experience how amazing it is to see some of the incredible beefed-up engines, flashy chrome and paint jobs on some of these hot rods and in the way contribute to a good cause, according to event organizers part of the profits are donated to local charities throughout Cowlitz County.
