By NATALIE JOHNSON , Sunday's sunny weather drew more than 400 entrants to the Yes- teryear Car Club's l lth annual Mason County Historical Society Car Show. This year the event's hundreds of cars took up several city blocks, side streets and parking lots in downtown Shelton and included everything from 1920's trucks and 30's hot rods to 60's and 70's mus- cle cars and more. In fact, club members said they were so busy with registration and raffles, they hardly had time to look at the cars. Club member Terry Holman said that the car show started small 11 years ago, but has only gotten bigger and bigger. "Originally we used to donate to the museum because our club is non profit," she said. "The first year we had about 100 cars." While this year's event had about 400 registered cars, many people just brought their cars, parked them and did not register, she said. ~Peeple love this show because it's a $10 donation and all of the proceeds go to the historical soci- ety,~ Holman said. This year the show had more than $5,000 in raffles and prizes, 50 trophy categories, a poker walk and an ice cream social at the mu- seum, among other activities. The show is also unique, club members said, because there are so many categories for prizes. "We're open to anything, there's usually a category to cover it," Hol- man said. While many such events have vendors, Holman said that the Yes- teryear Car Club prefers to focus on existing businesses downtown. All of the proceeds from the event go to the Mason County His- torical Society, Holman said. =Last year we made over $8,000 - with $2,000 to $3,000 coming from the raffle alone," she.said.
