[cahc] Reid's List - Five Great Collector Car Events

[Reid Trummel]

RECOMMENDED COLLECTOR CAR EVENTS

a.k.a. "Reid's List"



[If Craig and Angie can have their own lists, maybe I can too.]



As we approach summer and better weather, it's time to make plans for
enjoying the car hobby and getting your favorite car on the road.  This is
a list of five unique events that I personally enjoy and that I believe
every collector car owner in the Pacific Northwest should consider putting
on their calendar.  Each is well done and each offers a unique way to enjoy
your favorite car. You'll meet great people, you'll drive great roads,
you'll see a lot of great cars, and mostly you'll have a lot of fun!
Thanks for considering them.
