This is a remarkable location for a classic car show with the historic sandstone King Edward school as the centrepiece. It offered complete shade on the north side for those who wanted it or you could enjoy the sunshine in the courtyard. One of the best parts of the show was talking with the residents and reminiscing about the old days. The live music was excellent and the food … [Read more...] about Calgary – The Edward – Aug 18, 2024 – 37 photos
