Alberta Mustangs Auto Club 35th Annual Presidential Show and Shine

For many of us, we love looking at historical and antique vehicles.  Some of us, we have our favourite ‘American Muscle’.  For those particulars, the Ford Mustang is the icon for the American muscle, sexiness and pure young luxury.  The iconic Mustang has gone through its’ share of some spectacular design and technological changes, followed by something that would leave us to desire.  However, the Mustang remains a house-hold name and there is almost a cult-like following.

Join the Alberta Mustangs Auto Club for their annual Show and Shine event on June 16th, 2017 from 9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. to get your fill of Mustangs and other Ford products.  Check out the historical and antique rides or check out the modernized vehicles of today.  For more information, please check out Global Calgary’s Event page:  https://globalnews.ca/event/4177964/alberta-mustangs-auto-club-35th-annual-presidential-show-and-shine/

Food Truckin’ @ WHCA

Since the introduction of Food Trucks on Calgary’s streets, the concept has exploded.  With hundreds of choices of gourmet, snacks and drinks, clients have an opportunity to try something new and different to tickle their palettes.  And sometimes, one is craving food and drink, but they are not in an area with food and beverages and just need something to hold them for a while.

The WHCA is proud to announce that the Calgary Food Trucks will be in attendance on  Wednesday, May 30, 2018 from 4:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. out back by the soccer fields/gazebo.  Come on down and get some snacks for the evening or take in the U4/ U6 soccer action with hot dogs, family squeezed lemonade, and mini donuts.

For the full list of Food Trucks that will be in attendance, check out the link below.
