Classic car enthusiasts… it’s time to get your motor running, and make plans to head out to the winery.

The 7th annual Concours d’Elegance is Sunday, Aug. 25, on the grounds of San Juan Island Vineyards. Presented by The Sports Car Club of the San Juan Islands, in conjunction with the Rotary Club, Concours d’Elegance is a celebration of the wonders of the automobile and the open road, and a charitable event all in one.

Beneficiaries of this year’s event are Fish for Teeth, the Family Umbrella Group and Rotary International’s Polio Eradication Project. Last year’s event proved to be a record-setter, with 93 cars entered and more than $8,500 in proceeds raised… that’s $2,500 more than the year before.

While owners of any interesting car or motorcycle are encouraged to enter, the featured marquee for the 2013 show will be Ford performance cars, in recognition of the 50th anniversary of the Ford GT40. Enter online at www.sanjuanconcours.org; entry forms are also available at Chamber of Commerce office on Spring Street. Entry forms should be submitted by Aug. 13.

For those coming from off-island, the “travel info”, including ferry schedules and lodging information, is provided at the Sports Car Club’s website as well. San Juan Island’s very own Argyle Street Jazz Band will perform during lunch.
