Start your engines

Downtown Camas will host its 17th Annual Car Show from 2 to 7 p.m. Saturday. Stroll around Camas and enjoy classic and custom cars, awards, raffles, live music and food. The entry fee is $20 for cars but free for spectators. Cars can cruise into the car show area at noon. Goodie bags go to the first 100 cars and dash plaques to the first 250 cars. Proceeds support the Camas-Washougal Treasure House Food Bank. Spectators should bring donations for free raffle tickets. Learn more at downtowncamas.com or call Leah at 360-953-1326.

Walk the walk

The Clark County Historical Museum offers the Wander Clark County Summer Walking Tour Series, Saturdays through Sept. 7. These guided walks highlight the county’s neighborhoods and city centers. Rain-or-shine tours start at 9 a.m. and cover up to a mile with frequent stops to view buildings, tell stories and answer questions. Tours are best suited for ages 13 and older. There are no restroom stops. Tickets are $10. Register at cchmuseum.org. Questions? Call 360-993-5679 or email outreach@cchmuseum.org. Saturday’s tour is Vancouver’s Old City Cemetery.

Women’s wisdom
