Serving Waitsburg, Dayton and the Touchet Valley
There were 320 classic cars, trucks, motorcycles, and even more visitors lining the streets on Saturday, June 15 for Dayton's annual Show 'n Shine showcase.
The McGuistions (l-r) Lazuras, Xavier, Steve, and Zane exhibited their 1923 Ford T-Bucket at All Wheels on Friday night. On Saturday, they also displayed their 1952 Fargo pickup, a Canadian-built Dodge, and a 1937 Plymouth Coup during Show 'n Shine.
DAYTON - All Wheels Weekend offered automotive fun for everyone from Friday, June 14, through 16. Over Father's Day Weekend, Dayton was filled with classic cars, trucks, motorcycles, tractors, and bicycles. There were cackle cars all day, and later, the noisy, adrenaline-pumping Drag the Gut featuring the roar of nitro-fueled cars. These restored vintage dragsters brought the noise to town.
Later that evening, the Frog Hollow Band played music on the courthouse lawn, and the Presentation of Cars began at 6 p.m. from the Bank of Idaho parking lot.
Despite the high winds and rain, an estimated 320 cars lined Dayton's Main Street on Saturday for the Show 'n Shine showcase. President of the Dayton's Chamber of Commerce, Bette Lou Crothers, said the turnout was typical for the popular event. "There were a lot of visitors; it was a great show and a lot of fun!" said Crothers.
The cackle cars were a hit with the crowd, and you really needed earplugs when the cars fired up. Various activities took place throughout the weekend, including craft and food vendors, lawn mower races, free pump-car rides at the Depot, and the Demo Derby at the fairgrounds.
