Classes

All vehicles regardless of make and model are welcome to compete (in past years, we were delighted to have an antique tractor and some really great customized bicycles - if it has wheels and you'd like to show it off, we'll make room for it). Entries will be judged and cool one-of-a-kind trophies awarded by independent judges.  There will be additional auto trophies including Peoples Choice and Best of Show.  Bike entries will be judged independently of autos.

Entry fees:  (click here for a printable entry form)  Coming Soon!

About the Spring Opener

Benton City's fifth annual Spring Opener Car and Bike Show is brought to you through the cooperation of many of our community civic organizations.  The proceeds of this year's non-profit show will be used to help support youth activities in the community.  We will continue the show each year as a way to raise funds for different projects that provide for the community in whole.  The Spring Opener is also part of the Yakima Valley's Spring Fling Festival celebration.  We're looking forward to seeing you here.
