Cars will cruise along the northshore from Manson to Chelan Friday afternoon

by Loni Rahm

Cruisin’ Chelan’s Show and Shine on Saturday provides the opportunity for car enthusiasts to peer into the windows and under the hood of over 150 classic, vintage and just downright cool cars, trucks and motorcycles.

But we also know the thrill of hearing those engines actually purr (or growl) and watching them proudly cruise down the street in all their glory.

Well, this weekend, you can have both!

Friday afternoon, participants in the 18th annual Cruisin’ Chelan will be gathering at 12 Tribes Casino in Manson in preparation for a leisurely convoy-style cruise along the northshore into Chelan.

The car cruise is scheduled to start in Manson at 4:15 p.m. providing spectators with many opportunities to watch these vehicles as they make their way along the route.

Or you can hunker down at Endless Orchard, adjacent to the Lookout, and get a sneak preview of Saturday’s display as the cars roll into their pitstop, before completing the final leg of their cruise through downtown Chelan to Miller’s Auto Museum for a participant-only registration party.

Event sponsor, Endless Orchard, will be featuring live music from 3-6 pm, which you can enjoy along with one of their locally crafted beverages and snacks.

Then get ready for a full day of activities on Saturday along Woodin and Emerson in downtown Chelan as well as Riverwalk Park.
