Ladies and gents: start your engines! It’s back and it’s better than ever. Celebrating ten years, the annual Crowsnest Pass Show and Shine revs up on Saturday, August 2 in downtown historic Coleman.
Once part of the Rum Runner Days Festival, organizers believed its continuing growth ensured its success as a stand-alone event.
Partnering with Doors Open and Heritage Festival and making significant improvements will benefit participants, local businesses and the community as a whole, said Brian MacFarlane, President, Crowsnest Pass Wheel Nuts Society, a new club formed for car enthusiasts.
“We have renamed the event Main Street Crowsnest and moved it to our historic main streets. This ties in well with the historical flavour of the Doors Open and Heritage Festival and allows us the opportunity to benefit from the large numbers of people who visit the area over the weekend,” he said. “This year, the show takes place in downtown Coleman and our plan is to alternate the event from west to east each year, giving each community the opportunity to share in this growing event.”
Bikes, hot rods, muscle cars and other classic vehicles will be on view from noon to 5 p.m. along 77th Street and 17th Avenue.
Whether you’re a car enthusiast or not, you’ll want to take in the action as owners pay homage to the creation of the internal combustion engine. Trucks, motorcycles and unique or special interest vehicles are also welcome.
The show is a great opportunity to display your wheels and organizers expect about 100 vehicles to be entered.
The top vehicles, voted by participants in a number of categories, will be awarded trophies and participants will also be eligible to win a variety of door prizes donated by local businesses.
A People’s Choice Award, selected by the public, is also awarded to one lucky winner.
Live music by Calgary’s Tequila Gold, product demonstrations hosted by Meguiar’s Canada and other on-site activities make this a show not to be missed.
