October 15, 2007, Seattle, WA Car enthusiasts of all ages will be celebrating this year's line up of 2008 models with a special, no crowds, sneak-peak at Qwest Event Center on Halloween night. Presented as "The Ultimate Halloween Party of the Year" this event does double duty for car lovers and education supporters. The cars are the stars of this elegant party as guests have the opportunity to leisurely stroll the aisles and visit over 45 different exhibitions featuring over 400 cars without the hustle and bustle of the usual auto show crowds. The evening's festivities include the fabulous big band sounds of Tuxedo Junction and a spectacular array of fine foods by Levy Restaurants. For the third year in a row, Junior Achievement of Washington (JA), and the 103,000 kids served by JA programs in western Washington, is the beneficiary of this evening's proceeds. JA is dedicated to inspiring and preparing young people to succeed in a global economy. Through a dedicated volunteer network, JA provides in-school and after-school programs for students in grades K-12 focusing on seven key content areas including financial literacy and career development.
