Jul 29 BMW CCA PSR [Seattle Club] 27th Annual Concours - Sunday July 29
Sunday July 29th, Cedar River Park, Renton WA
  Here's a link with lots of information about the Seattle Concours this year.
We've got the awesome E36 M3 as the featured car and expect some great examples, plus a great BBQ caterer on hand serving lunch!

Each person in either the Display or Judged classes will receive a great detailing sampler kit from Griots Garage, and the chance to win an $800 Cruise Bicycle from BMW Seattle.

Of special note, I've learned that our Pacific Region VP Steve Johnson is planning to DRIVE his E36 M3 to the Concours from San Diego, CA. Hopefully we can have a great turnout of BMWs and members to meet and greet Steve during his time in the Northwest.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Sept 29-30 Okanagan Winery Tour - Sept 29-30 weekend

A weekend getaway to enjoy the wine region of BC.
So you can have fun and enjoy the wineries and the tasting tours they offer, we have arranged a package deal that includes a bus tour of a group of wineries along the Naramata Road on Saturday, and another couple of wineries and a BBQ at BMW Kelowna on Sunday. Group rate for Saturday overnight at the Days Inn Penticton.
Read the full details on the tour info page.
Naramata has many superb wineries to visit, each in a beautiful setting, each offering a selection of award winning wines. Some offer a wide array of full bodied, barrel aged reds, delightful whites and even fruit wines. Others are small boutique wineries where often the winemaker is behind the tasting room counter. Several wineries offer menus ranging from a light snack to gourmet dining. With the rolling hills, meandering country roads and beautiful Okanagan Lake, a leisurely tour will be an Okanagan Experience to remember.
