I heard from my neighbor across the street about a car show that was going on down in Gig Harbor this Sunday.  I haven’t been to a car show in a while, so that sounded like a fun few hours to kill while looking at some cars and wandering around.  Turns out the car show was part of Gig Fest 2015.  Pretty large affair with lots of people and a TON of boats running around the harbor.  Apparently one of the main events was the “blessing of the fleet” of fishing boats.  It was neat to see all the big boats lined up in the middle of the harbor.

A dump truck adds a sense of class and elegance to any large gathering.

This paint color was spectacular.  You couldn't tell if it was blue or purple and it was about a mile deep. Nicely done!
