Growing bigger and better every year, the 8th Annual River City Classics Show and Shine in High River hauled in $14,000 for charity, a full truckload of Food Bank donations and over 1260 participating vehicles.
Thousands of car enthusiasts flooded into the downtown core on September 25th and 26th to gawk at superfly rides of all sorts. “The show was a great success thanks to all our volunteers, participants, sponsors and public for your help in creating such a wonderful event,” organizers said.
Although the scene was packed with amazing automobiles, classic car stars like the Starsky and Hutch Ford Gran Torino and Duke Boys' General Lee rumbled in and stole the show in prima donna fashion.
Vendors were on hand to hawk everything from hotdogs to vanity plates to clothing to car parts. One innovator displayed a motley V8 engine barbeque, which looked like it would take you from zero to medium-well in 5.3 seconds. Show goers blew the doors off local businesses, who kept pace by putting the pedal to the metal for shoppers, diners and entertainment seekers.
Fun for all ages and oozing with automotive eye candy, this event sends the season out with a Bang, Zoom and ROAR!
