The entry fee is $20 for cars but free for spectators. Cars can cruise into the car show area at noon. Goodie bags go to the first 100 cars and dash plaques to the first 250 cars.

Walk the walk

The Clark County Historical Museum offers the Wander Clark County Summer Walking Tour Series, Saturdays through Sept. 7. These guided walks highlight the county’s neighborhoods and city centers.

Women’s wisdom

Vancouver’s Water Resources Education Center will host the Summer BioBlitz from 9:30 a.m. to noon Saturday to track species in our area. Volunteers will use the iNaturalist app to catalog plants, insects, birds, moss, lichen and animal tracks. Guided walks are open to anyone age 6 and older.
