Car Show highlights Sunday’s activities in Ritzville

The Ritzville Classic Car Club rolls out the red carpet every Sunday of Memorial Day weekend for auto enthusiasts and visitors during its annual extravaganza. The event, Classics on Main Street, is being displayed in downtown Ritzville for the third consecutive year, as it is a location well suited to highlight the unique and spectacular styles of the vehicles.

The show in downtown Ritzville begins at 10 a.m. on Sunday, May 29, and lasts until 3 p.m.

Residents are advised Main Avenue will be closed from Division Street to Adams Street from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. Washington Street is closed from the alley next to the Post Office to Railroad Avenue, but Railroad will remain open for thoroughfare traffic.

Along with vendors, door prizes and raffles are awarded throughout the day.

Food vendors are not onsite, as the event committee is encouraging visitors to frequent the downtown businesses. Memories Diner, The Eagles, Soup It Up and The Pastime are all open or hosting specials in coordination with the event.

The Burroughs’ Museum and the Train Depot are open during the same hours as the event. Alumni visiting for the annual banquet are encouraged to stop by the Depot and look through the alumni memorabilia.

Within Pioneer Plaza, the annual Art on the Plaza event is being hosted in coordination with the car show. A large variety of art and mediums of work will be displayed at the art show.

Before the car show closes, several awards are awarded, including President’s Choice, Undeberg Memorial, Participant’s Choice, People’s Choice Car, People’s Choice Truck, People’s Choice Motorcycle, Longest Distance Traveled and Oldest Vehicle.
