The 117th annual Sequim Irrigation Festival has begun. It’s Washington State’s longest continual festival and celebrates the completion of the irrigation ditches that made agriculture possible in the Dungeness Valley. The very first festival drew picnicing revelers by horseback and wagon from near and far. They had such a good time they decided to keep having it. These days the event runs two weekends and started this weekend with an art walk, Arts and Crafts Fair, and a Kids Day and Family Picnic, among other things. The beautifully restored cars above were parked next to the Arts and Crafts Fair.
So in a setting like this guys will go, “Wow! A 19XX Ford!” and launch into car stories, talk about flathead V8s, cars they’ve owned, and stuff like that. But a guy wasn’t taking these pictures. I took pictures of the car jewelry.
I know. These are probably a big disappointment if you are of the boy persuasion. I’ll post a couple of car pictures tomorrow.
I remember when Shannon posted pics of last years cars. I have been coming to this website daily for 2 years, I already feel like part of the community. I can not be there in person..yet…so I very much enjoy visiting, and attending festivals through your lens. Thank you! š
Always fun to photograph old card and to zoom in on the details.
Can’t say I’ve ever heard of an “irrigation festival”, but any reason to haul out these beauties is a good one. Really like the last shot esp.
Wonderful cars. I love the old hood ornaments.
What a fantastic collection! Glad there are people who take good care of these beauties. Awesome detail shots!
Nice to see such appreciation for these great old vehicles. Such style and very cool hood ornaments.
ooh, i like those detail shots… ! havent been to a car festival since 1.5 years ago, i think.
