Additionally it is hoped that participants and attendees alike will find the time to visit the local restaurants and retail outlets during their visit. The Sequim Prairie is a unique eco-climate and enjoys a minimal rain fall when compared to the rest of the Olympic Peninsula. While it may be raining elsewhere, we in Sequim are usually dry. Periodic drawings will be held throughout the day for unique car and non-car related items. Tickets for items to be drawn on will be available all during the day with the first drawing occurring during the 11 o'clock hour. Winners will need to be present to claim their item. Unclaimed items at the end of the day will be subject to additional drawings until a winner is had. A special item of local Sequim significance and car culture related, is the "GULL" gas station sign, that once graced the Gull Gas Station, previously located in the town center now known as "Centennial Square". Special tickets will be available for the "Gull" sign during various events leading up to the August 19th event as well as at the Sequim Prairie Nights event. The drawing will be held during the final hour of the Sequim Prairie Nights event. The winner need not be present for this drawing and will be notified via email or phone. All proceeds from the "GULL" sign drawing will benefit the Sequim Museum building fund.
