Car show returns to Main Avenue

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 fourth 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 28, and lasts until 3 p.m.

Residents are advised Main Avenue will be closed from Division Street to Jefferson 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 Avenue will remain open for thoroughfare traffic.

Door prizes and raffles are awarded throughout the day.

Local food vendors are scheduled to be onsite, and the event committee is encouraging visitors to support local businesses.

Downtown restaurants will also be 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 Train Depot and look through the alumni memorabilia.

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.
