On Saturday, July 23, people of all ages and walks of life enjoyed the CID Celebration at Hing Hay Park. The Hong Kong Business Association of Washington and the City of Seattle collaborated, along with various sponsors, to bring music and fun to the community. Souped-up and restored vintage cars sparked conversations and admiration. And, of course, there were lion and dragon dances from Mak Fai Dragon & Lion Dance Association to wow the crowd.

Steven and Sonya Fukeda searched for a 1969 Chevy C10 truck similar to the one Sonya’s dad had on his strawberry farm on Bainbridge Island. Instead they bought and restored this 1967 version two years ago from Kentucky. Their search continues. (Photo by Becky Chan)
