I started this website so that non-Facebook people in southern Alberta would have a place to go to see pictures from the shows. I didn’t plan for it, but I’ve somehow created the most complete and up-to-date car show calendar for southern Alberta. The Car Shows Upcoming page has become the most popular feature on this site. The website statistics indicate that it has been viewed 28,577 times.
I hope everyone is enjoying the restriction-free summer of car shows. It’s hard to believe, but the season is more than half-over already. The calendar started with 122 weekend shows and there are only 52 remaining. I’m not including the weeknight shows which would add another 100+ to the mix.
For the most part, the weather has co-operated and few shows have been cancelled or postponed. Car counts may have been down a few times when the weather forecast was predicting thunder storms.
I’ve enjoyed chatting with hundreds of car owners and learning about their vehicles. Although I’ve attended over 200 shows in the past five years, I continue to see first-timers at every event.
A big thank you to the readers who have made a donation towards the upkeep of this website. It’s been gratifying to know that readers are appreciative of the work I’m doing.
I’d like to acknowledge all the car owners who bring their vehicles to the shows. In the gallery below are the owners who I’ve taken a picture of this summer. The photos are in chronological order from oldest to newest, and most are vehicles which I was seeing for the first time.
Hi Bob.
I have only met you 3 times (so far). I use your site to set my directions. I am not a Face Book user.
Keep up the great work. See you soon. (Balzac tomorrow) Dave 1962 Ford Ranchero
