I think that Allen Stephens did an excellent job of describing the Forest Grove Concours d’Elegance event on July 17, the Vineyard Concert on July 15, the vineyard tour for car owners on July 16 and the evening dinner also on July 16. It sounds like a great way to spend your weekend. Thanks for the information.
