When the heavy lifting is done, however, the Show and Shine Car Show downtown offers a Father's Day weekend diversion. From 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday at the northwest corner of the Arlington Municipal Airport, city residents can dump all kinds of junk for free. The city plans to take old computers, televisions, refrigerators, furniture, recyclable metal and up to four tires per household. Those who plan to take advantage of the clean-up event are asked to enter the airport through the 188th Street NE entrance and follow the signs. The free annual car show, sponsored by the Downtown Arlington Business Association, is from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. along Olympic Avenue. The Show and Shine attracts many local and regional car collectors, organizer Marilyn Bullock said. Among them is Dick Davis, who plans to show his 1935 Dodge and 1947 Chevrolet trucks. Davis, 71, of Arlington, has been collecting and maintaining old vehicles for about 20 years, and he has participated in the car show every year since its inception in 1998. "It's a great social event," Davis said. "It's nice to get out see all these people who share a similar hobby." Those who wander through the car show are in for a history lesson as well, Davis said. "It's a real cross section of Americana and a chance to see some phenomenal craftsmanship," he said. Davis likes to keep his vehicles clean and bright, but he isn't worried about the weather on Saturday. Rain or shine, it promises to be a fun day, he said. Vehicle owner registration for the car show begins at 8 a.m. Information for participants is available by calling 360-435-5287. Reporter Gale Fiege: 425-339-3427 or gfiege@heraldnet.com.
