Bremerton Blackberry Festival and Car Show

Labor is the time for the annual Blackberry Festival. It is a time for the downtown and boardwalk areas of Bremerton to be inundated with vendors booths, kids rides and a stage for entertainments. There are also fun runs, special displays and a car show a few miles away at the Bremerton National Airport.

On Saturday after the rain stopped mid morning, I went to the car show. There was quite a number of restored and custom cars. I am always impressed with the talents of the car owners who customize and restore their rides.

In addition there were several 60's and 70's vintage dragsters. They fired them up one at a time. The noise was tremendous and the smell of the fuel was still on me when I got home. Of course this was a big fan favorite.

On the way home I stopped for a short time in Bremerton and walked through the booths on the boardwalk. It was very crowded. The festival continues through Monday.

The cars were lined up along the taxiway at Bremerton National Airport.

Herm Petersons "Northwest Terror". A famous top fuel dragster from the 60's. Herm fired it up and wowed the spectators.

This car is on fire!
