Same here, never been and always wanted to go. My brother is coming to meet us too I think, for the price of regular admission they get a car show and museum admission. |

Just checked on facebook and they now have over 200 cars pre-registered... plus they're expecting more the day of the show. Anyone else going? |

I was there, although I was a little late arriving just before 10:00 I got stuck near the entrance, out of photo range of the mojority of the group shots because I was off to the side I know Niko was there, I saw his car but didn't get to see him. Then there was a white notchy, a dark red fastback GT and a pretty nice/mint black 85 GT with some pinstriping painted on it. I was in awe when I saw that car - I thought mine had low miles  Over 400 cars in total. It was a pretty good showing, but my wife thought she enjoyed the cruise night more because there was the chance to see different stuff. Here it was all GM so it eas a bit repetitive for her. I don't think the heat and sun helped her though. It was a HOT one! |

I heard that entering the show was a bit of an event. I guess I was lucky I got there at about 10 and there was about 10 or 15 or so cars infront of me and maybe 5 behind. When I parked and stood up I heard the guys say "I think that's about it finally". I didn't realise that some people were lined up for over an hour and I was at the tail end of people coming in. I just thought maybe I was one of the last registered to enter, not the end of the original line. I forgot about the 2M8. My bro was fascinated with that car. That would make 6 of us Fieros total that I recall. I wanted to get a pic with the planes but my timing wasn't right and by the time we were done walking around my wife was dead tired suffering from the heat and the line had grew pretty long - I think most people were trying to get a picture right before leaving. We left the show around 2 - was surprised when we went inside to see the planes for some shade and when we came back out it seemed like about a third of the show had left. I forgot my camera and I didn't even take my phone out to take a photo

You guys had 6 we had 5 so that 11 cars representing that day  I've seen some shots from one of the mini truckers who attended your show and only saw 1 Fiero in it, looks like an 87 Fastback GT. I can just imagine the heat you guy had there. We had the same thing in Lindsay and some people who arrived real early around 7am, where leaving by 11am. We got a lucky spot parking beside 3 Corvairs and in front of the park with a lot of trees for nice shade all day. I just got pics from the show photographer (dad again) load them up on the computer then try to get some shots online for viewing. Working on my website to start hosting them, but having issues.

Hi everyone - thank you for joining us if you made it. It was a fantastic turnout (489 total). We've discussed changes for next time to streamline gate entrance; I know it was chaotic.  There were 200 cars that showed up that I didn't have on my list, so we (myself, the museum, and the Ancaster Optimist Club) were not prepared for that many cars to come. It was an awesome event and was a huge success for the museum. Unfortunately, we were not in control of the gate (was the Ancaster Optimist's job) so I apologize - I had no idea what was going on until the end of the day and I was quite busy with the registration table. I do hope you all enjoyed yourselves! If anyone is on the car show newsletter I send out, I'll be emailing a link to photos in a few days. If you'd like to be put on it please email me: sarahwills@willschevrolet.com
