The seventh-annual Sequim Prairie Nights saw another big turnout with classic cars, trucks and motorcycles in the region on display in Sequim’s downtown on Saturday, Aug. 10.

The free, family-friendly event included a cruise, raffles, beverage gardens, food and music, along with the car who that line several downtown streets closed to normal traffic along West Washington Street between Sequim and Third avenues.

Tri-Mac Speedsters Sequim’s George and Alan McMurray, the Bonneville Speed Week participants back from their most recent record-breaking effort, greeted visitors in front of the main entrance to A-1 Auto, one of the sponsors supporting their efforts at Bonneville Speed Week each year. The McMurrays said technical issues kept them from completing their drive for another record but plan to be back next year.

This year, $1,000 scholarships from funds raised at 2023 event are going to Austin McLaughlin and Willow Harvey, both studying welding technology, and MacKenzie Paton, to study automotive repair.
