Always a Great show. I go whether I have my car going or not. As for Acadians/Novas, You'll probably see at least one of every year....It draws a big crowd. Its getting pretty big for the town though, They block off all of downtown and there are cars everywhere..and its a steady stream of cars all day long.

      Went to Three Hills four years in a row 1999 to 2002.   One of the best 
      shows I ever went to.   With luck I should be at the show this year as well.
      Easy to find look for the "Beautiful British Columbia" license plates on a '72
      Malibu and you'll have found me.   I get off work that Friday and I'm
      heading to show right after I get off.

     At Three Hills you can never be sure of what you're going to see, you just
     know you're going to see just about everything.    There's the "show" then
     there's the "show at the car wash" and then there's the "never ending
     show" coming in to town.

Three Hills is definitely worth seeing. I've been a few times. That's one I try not to miss.

Threehills draws a great crowd and there are cars for everyones tastes. Part of the highlight of this show is that all the cars get to drive around the blocked off streets. You get to see and hear some of the coolest cars. This is an excellent show and shine. Hope to see plenty of Canadian ponchos!

Hey StriperSS and 67SD396,

You guys going to be at Three Hills? I'm planning on being there, taking a day off work so I can go. Be a full day of driving to get there. Be nice to run into you guys and talk cars.

Easy find golden brown 72 Malibu with BC plates. If you can't find me have me paged.

I'll be missing it this year, as I'm moving back to Summerland, BC the weekend before.
Unless I leave my car in Edmonton..... and fly back and detour through Three Hills. Now there's a thought.............., and that'll solve the problem of getting 2 vehicles out to BC.

I've gone to this show every year since moving to Alberta in '98. The best show that Alberta has to offer, most times I take my '75 Grand Am but this year I will probably be one of those just looking.

Three hills is one cool show. Nice layout and when I was there, they were letting people 'play' a bit in the cruise which was added entertainment! I've only been once, but will be back this year.
