Around 20,000 people are expected to feast their eyes on the machines over the next two days.

GARDEN CITY--Fourth of July weekend is not official without a car show. One thousand hot rods, street machines, classic and antique cars parked on the grass of Expo Idaho on Saturday.

Around 20,000 people are expected to feast their eyes on the machines over the next two days.

Jack Armstrong, the event's coordinator, says this is the largest car show in Idaho.

"It just keeps getting bigger and bigger every year. It's a celebration of all things motorized. Probably best described as being a state fair without using cows, horses, and sheep. We use Dodge, Ford, and Chevy," said Jack Armstrong, Event Coordinator for the Northwest Motorfest.

From cherry red to old school black all colors and the dream cars of yesteryear were all in attendance.

"There's something here for everybody. And if you don't find something and you're bored if you are here, then you might want to check the obituaries, you're probably dead,” said Armstrong.

Motorfest will continue tomorrow from ten to four. Admission is six dollars for people ages 12 and up. 11 year-olds and younger are free.
