Many more entries will be registered on site during the show. \u201cWe\u2019re hoping for 700 or 800 cars altogether,\u201d Reis said. \u201cThe heat and smoke have us worried a little bit, but it\u2019s full speed ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The general public can attend the car show from 9:00 am to 8:00 pm on Friday and 8:00 am to 5:00 pm on Saturday. An admission fee will be charged.<\/p>\n<p>Besides admiring classic automobiles from 1972 and older, spectators can enjoy displays and exhibits in the air-conditioned SunDome. There will also be concessions on site.<\/p>\n<p>More than 40 prizes will be awarded to entries during this year\u2019s Vintiques Northwest Nationals.<\/p>\n<p>The Vintiques Car Club of Yakima organized the first show in 1974. It was held at Sportsman\u2019s State Park and hosted approximately 20 cars. Every year since then the Vintiques Northwest Nationals have been held at State Fair Park, which was previously known as the Central Washington State Fairgrounds.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe key to our success is we put so much back into it,\u201d Reis said of drawing a large number of entries. \u201cIf you register your car you get all access passes, free barbecue, hot dog feed, door prizes, breakfast, all for free. Plus you get to look at hundreds of some of the finest cars in the Northwest.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The non-profit Vintiques Car Club of Yakima also contributes $10,000 to a charity each year. This year\u2019s recipient is Children\u2019s Wishes and Dreams, Reis said.<\/p>\n<p>Visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vintiques.com\/\">www.vintiques.com<\/a> for more on this year\u2019s Vintiques Northwest Nationals.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yakimawa.gov\/media\/news\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/6\/files\/sites\/6\/Vintiques-rolls-into-State-Fair-Park-News-Release.pdf\">Vintiques rolls into State Fair Park &#8211; News Release<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 43rd annual Vintiques Northwest Nationals will return to State Fair Park this week.
