This is the favorite part of the weekend for many of the locals, and the sidewalks up and down 2^nd and 3^rd streets fill up with appreciative and enthusiastic spectators. Several downtown businesses will be hosting special events during the cruise. You can also pre-register for the show and/or pick up your Goodie Bag, and check out T-shirt/hat and raffle ticket sales at Burgerville on 3^rd St. between 4 and 7PM.

Then Saturday brings the "Show in the Shade", on the grass in beautiful SOROSIS PARK, 300E Scenic Dr. Registration opens at 9AM, judging until 1pm, and the Parade of Champions awards ceremony begins at 2pm.

Goodie bags and dash plaques for the 1^st 250 vehicles. $20 pre-entry, $25 after July 31. 40+ awards, food and specialty vendors, oldies music and plenty of raffle prizes.

Then Saturday evening features the 6^th St. Station Cruise Nite 5 to 7PM. 2638 W 6th.

Finally, there's the Dufur Threshing Bee Car Show, on Sunday in the Dufur Community Park, just 13 miles South of The Dalles, starting at 9AM.
