I have a backlog of photos to post from the weekend. I will be posting photos from the following shows in the days to come: Calgary - Ogden Rubber and Rust Carstairs Show & Shine Balzac - Great West Kenworth Show & Shine Let's get started with this one: Arriving an hour before the official 5 PM start time wasn't early enough.

I finally made it out to the Tuesday evening Chestermere show and it turned out to be a beautiful evening with a good turnout of vehicles including a few which I had never seen before. Monte showed up with his remarkable 1965 Chevelle convertible which still had it's 230 cubic inch six cylinder engine.  It's no secret that I prefer to get photos of the cars with their … [Read more...] about Chestermere – Aug 18, 2026 – 46 photos

I was only able to spend a brief period of time at the Okotoks show so this is just a small sample of the vehicles that were there.  Click on the link Okotoks - Aug 16, 2026 - 65 photos … [Read more...] about Okotoks – Aug 16, 2026 – 65 photos

Finding a vehicle that’s stayed with its original owner for decades is a rare treat, but the Shelby, Montana show served up a double dose. Gord was there with his 1971 Pontiac GTO, a classic he's cherished since driving it off the lot brand new. I don't think I've ever seen a GTO in the Tropical Lime factory colour("color" for my American friends!). Right nearby, Delmar proudly … [Read more...] about Shelby, Montana – Aug 15, 2026 – 112 photos

There’s nothing quite like the crisp air of an early Alberta morning mixed with the smell of classic engine exhaust. I arrived at Nose Creek Park in Airdrie at 6:30 am for the 25th annual "Doin' it on the Grass" car show. The early-bird Time Travellers club members were already parked, so I started out by snapping photos of their cars which were glimmering with a faint layer … [Read more...] about Airdrie – Aug 8, 2026 – 300 photos

Having an indoor arena to showcase classic rides is an absolute game-changer. Offering an optional indoor display space gives owners that extra peace of mind, and it clearly pays off in turnout. Yesterday, the Calgary, Alberta Iron Indians Pontiac club held their annual Show & Shine at the Thorncliffe Greenview Community giving owners the unique opportunity to park right … [Read more...] about Calgary Iron Indians – Aug 8, 2026 – 100 photos

Back in 1966, the very first threshing bee in our district was held right on our family farm near Midale, Saskatchewan. While I wasn't able to make it back home to SK this summer for my hometown’s Pioneer Echoes 60th Anniversary show, I made sure to head out to Irricana today for the Pioneer Acres 56th Annual Show. My primary goal was to take in the draft horses and explore … [Read more...] about Irricana – Pioneer Acres – Aug 7, 2026 – 54 photos

The Western Canadian Nationals in Moose Jaw delivered an incredible turnout, filling the grounds with hundreds of vehicles I had never laid eyes on before, many of which demanded far more than a passing glance. A major highlight was the eye-catching 1959 Plymouth Sport Suburban owned by Joe Barton from Balgonie, SK. The rarity on display was exceptional, including a majestic … [Read more...] about Moose Jaw – Western Canadian Nationals – Aug 1, 2026 – 400 photos
