The show, one of the largest of its kind in the region, is put on by the Pacific Cascade Mustang Club and presented by Bowen Scarff of Kent. The show-and-tell event attracted more than 200 entries from throughout the area.

Judges awarded trophies to winners in more than 50 classes. There was displays, vendors, food, music and raffle prizes.
