June 11, 2014 |
A record number of 222 cars were on
display for the Rod Benders sponsored car show,
"Borders 3 Jamboree," held this past Saturday
right in downtown Bonners Ferry.

Vintage cars dating back to the early part of
the last century, and cars from just about every
notable automotive decade since, were glimmering
in the beautiful weather on the day of the show.
Cars lined both sides of Main Street downtown,
but spilled over also into other downtown
streets, and several display cars parked in the
Larson's parking lot. Crowds of people of
all ages strolled through the streets to see the
cars, to visit, and to check in with the many
dowtown businesses that were open through the
show.
Cars from all over the Inland Northwest were
represented at the show. It appears from
available information that the car that made the
longest trip to attend was a car from Alberta,
Canada, that traveled over 540 miles to attend
the Bonners Ferry show.
Awards were given in several categories to cars
at the show. Best of Show went to the 1937
Ford Coupe belonging to Keith and Lois Dettling
of Cranbrook, British Columbia.
The People's Choice Award went to Bonners
Ferry's own Allen and Dena Riffel, who brought
down their 1940 Ford. The Mayor's Choice
went to the 1964 Buick Riviera of John and
Glokin Costello of Spokane, Washington.
