Car enthusiasts mark your calendars for this weekend.
The annual Three Hills Cruise Weekend takes place Friday to Sunday (June 5-7) and is jam-packed with activities for everyone.
The weekend will kick-off with a meet, greet and cruise that begins at Anderson Park at 6 p.m. The cruise will take place at about 8 p.m.
“We cruise up to the highway and then north to Trochu and around town, then back to Three Hills and then we cruise around town till dusk,” Dennis Fox, Chairman of the Cruise weekend committee said.
At dusk the movie, “American Graffiti” will be shown drive-in style on 6 Ave. north of the prairie gym.
Saturday is the Street Freaks’ Show & Shine taking place on Main Street at Railway Ave. It starts at 10 a.m. and goes until mid-afternoon. There will also be a live band playing throughout the day and an engine-build contest.
The mile bracket racing will start at the airport with time trials taking place at 3 p.m. and racing beginning at 5 p.m.
After the racing, there will be a cruise cabaret at the Three Hills Curling Club taking place in the evening.
Sunday morning will feature racing back at the airport with time trials starting at 10 a.m. and racing at 1 p.m.
Admission for the races is $10. Those 12 and under are free. The racer entry fee is $60 per day.
The money from these entry fees goes to various charities and volunteer groups.
“We have several volunteer groups that are getting a share of the proceeds. These volunteer groups are helping us do the event,” Fox said.
There are approximately a dozen groups that are helping with the event. Any other proceeds will go to other community projects, he said.
