Gorge Days in North Bonneville July 11-13

The 4th Annual Gorge Days and “Best Cruise-In By A Dam Site” is taking place in North Bonneville, Washington, Friday through Sunday, July 11-13, 2008. Just 45 minutes east of Vancouver off of Highway 14, North Bonneville provides a magnificent setting in the heart of the Columbia River Gorge. All events take place at or around North Bonneville City Park and the celebration is sponsored by the North Bonneville Business & Community Association.

The weekend kicks off on Friday morning with the citywide garage sales that continue all day Saturday. Last year there were over 50 sales to visit. Get your map at Chevron or The Dam Gym. The activities continue with a three-on-three youth basketball tournament (ages 8-18 years), guided Heritage Trail walk and wine tasting at Bonneville Hot Springs Resort. New this year on Friday evening is a barbecue dinner in the City Hall parking lot followed by a sock hop street dance. Come in your poodle skirt and penny loafers. Or better yet, drive your classic car and get into the dance for free.

Saturday’s highlight is the “Best Cruise-In By A Dam Site”, with close to 400 vehicles anticipated. The car show will take place from 10:00 a.m. –2 :00 p.m. and the street rods will be parked on the grass in City Park. Judging of the cars takes place beginning at noon and trophies will be awarded at 2:00 p.m. The day’s fun includes a pancake breakfast hosted by the North Bonneville Seniors at the Senior Center, the three-on-three basketball tournament continues, a bicycle rodeo for children, craft vendors, food vendors, beer garden and another guided walk. Fort Vancouver Regional Library is sponsoring the Border Collies International Team and a free ice cream social with live music. The Friends of the Library will hold their annual book sale as well. Wine tasting continues at Bonneville Hot Springs Resort in the evening. Throughout the day, Roger Hart (an original KISN Good Guy) will provide oldies music; there will be hourly drawings and much more.

Another new addition to Gorge Days in 2008 is the Dual Golf Challenge on Sunday. Join in the First Annual Disc Golf Tournament on North Bonneville’s recently completed 18-hole disc golf course, which begins at noon. And then tee off at Beacon Rock Golf Course for a tournament beginning at 3:00 p.m.
