Flashy, classy cars on display in Burien for Dad's Day
Tue, 06/15/2010
Fathers and their relations will be able to check out wheels flashy and classy at the Burien Father's Day Car Show Sunday, June 20. The free event from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. features '50s and '60s tunes spun by a KJR-FM disk jockey plus a chili cook-off.
Killer rides from various eras will line Southwest 152nd Street between Fourth Avenue Southwest and Eighth Avenue Southwest in downtown Burien and spill onto Sixth Avenue Southwest.
Vehicles will compete in nine prize categories: Mayor's Choice, Best Project Car, Under Hood Artwork, Most Likely To Go On A Date In, People's Choice, Best Interior, Auto Dealers' Choice, Best Paint Job, and Lowest Odometer.
From Noon-2p.m., attendees may sample chilies entered in the chili cook-off. The top-scoring chili wins $250 plus a traveling trophy. Second place earns $100 and third place $50.
Adjacent to the car show, the Wild Strawberry Festival will offer food and live entertainment.
