Anacortes FIRST Robotics is fundraising by selling concessions at the NWMC “Art of the Motorcycle” show in Lynden, WA Saturday May 30 2026 from 10 am to 3 pm. It would be a long way to go just to support our robotics teams, but seeing the collection of vintage motorcycles put together by the Washington Vintage Motorcyclists and friends makes it worth the drive!
Admission is just $10 cash at the door (no credit cards) for people ages 15 and older. Kids under 15 years of age are FREE! The show is at the Northwest Washington Fairgrounds; enter at Gate 2 and look for the People’s Bank Farm Pavilion.
The featured classic motorcycles at the show are from post-WWII Britain, but there are many other gorgeous bikes from other countries as well, including the Japanese response to the British Invasion, vintage dirt bikes, and a horde of awesome classic race bikes. See the end of this message for just a sampling of the bikes at the show.

Come on up, enjoy the show, and stop in for some refreshments at the Anacortes FIRST Robotics booth. In addition to coffee, snacks, and soda, we will of course have demo robots from the Anacortes High School robotics club for everyone to try out for themselves.
