August 12, 2017 – Hot Dog-ust Day Cruise-In!
We started setting up at 7:00AM, and there were already cars in line. The weather was blessedly partly-cloudy and cool – unlike the sizzing 102 degrees of last year.
We hosted nearly 90 cars – some left early, and we lost count – which was up from the 65 cars that braved last year's heat.

Strong attendance and overwhelming community support made it possible for us to turn over $6,000 to Clackamas Community College for scholarships in their Auto Technology program. (That's up from $3,500 last year!)
We were also able to donate $750 to CCC's track team, who helped us park cars and serve hot dogs.
Donations of raffle items were strong, and we calculated we'd need to draw a raffle ticket every two minutes to get everything given away before the awards ceremony.
Support for awards was likewise generous, and we had to limit the number of trophies to keep the ceremony at a reasonable duration. Some awards went out bearing two sponsors' names.
A couple of sponsors wanted to do their own judging, and present their own awards. CPPC members did most of the rest of the judging, but participants voted on Best Club Car and Best of Show.
Best of Show went to David Sancewich’s red 1968 Dodge Charger. Participants liked Bob Westphal's 1948 Plymouth Club Coupe for Best Club Car.
If you're in a position to donate raffle items or chip in some scholarship cash, right now or in time for new year's event, please do so. Contact info@cascadepacificplymouth.org to learn how to contribute.
