Saturday 9am - 3pm
Mostly classic muscle cars, but more and more bikes each year.
Now that there is no ABATE show in Snohomish/Sultan/Everett, this might be an event worth crashing.
I've emailed the event coord, and requested it be FORMALLY opened up to Jap/Euro bikes.
i'll be there....PM me if you want to meet up.

Robert-
Thanks for the email. It is really a shame that no city has the financial courage to stand up and allow the ABATE Classic Bike Show. I read about it and was really discouraged. I believe it to be an amazing opportunity...
As for your question I created 'The Rock' 5 years ago at the behest of our Mayor. Duvall had a car show years ago entitled Woodstack but it faltered under some financial slight-of-hand. Every year (except this year) I have reached out to at first Harley organizations trying to build some excitement in our event and then over the last couple years through the help of some friends tried reaching out to some vintage cycle organizations. The Harley enthusiasts are great but they seem to be very free spirited and unwilling to commit to anything specific. My outreach to the two vintage was pretty much met with silence except for the sounds of crickets in the background. Maybe we just went to the wrong groups... I don't know. Bottom line is we have had a very difficult time with the motorcycle enthusiasts. I have a half dozen or so local guys with Harleys and customs that come down every year and they are very supportive- which as always been nice.
I would be more than happy to meet with you on any ideas you have on growing 'The Rock' or perhaps creating a new event for Duvall. I have October available for us to do something powerful at 'The Rock'.
Please give this some consideration and we can meet soon. Try to make it to the show on the 4th and we can visit. It is a great venue. Lets get in touch and stay in touch.
Thanks Pal,
Rog
