Whether it has been under a tarp, or babied in a heated garage, it’s time to reconnect the battery, spray off the dust, pump up the tires and boogie.
A sure sign of spring in the valley is the annual Boogie in the Badlands Car Show and Shine May 28 at Drumheller Chrysler. The show is the first chance to bring out your pride and joy to let local gawkers see what’s under the hood.The show is open to all marquees, and all conditions. Sometimes the most interesting rides are works-in-progress or untouched originals.
This is the 15th annual Show and Shine,q sponsored by Drumheller Chrysler. It attracts a strong contingent of local whips as well as out of town rides. Northern Mopars Car Club often has a strong showing of its membership.
There is no entry fee for spectators, however exhibitors are asked to make a $5 donation to support the work of the Drumheller and District Humane Society. Spectators are also encouraged to donate.
The Humane Society was formed in 2008 and this year it became a charitable organization. It is a volunteer driven organization with a deep concern for animals at its heart. It operates its adoption centre on 3rd Street West and is open Saturdays 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Cars will be rolling in to Drumheller Chrysler at about 10 a.m., and the show goes until about 4 p.m. There will be a Best in Show trophy awarded, by viewer’s choice. The first 100 entries will receive a dash plaque. There will also be music and a concession put on by Nacmine Community Hall.
