The Hot July Nights Car & Bike Show is wheeling into 100 Mile House, July 17-19.
“The only thing hotter than the weather will be the classic cars and bikes on the streets of 100 Mile House,” says Stephen Almond, an organizer with this town's premier annual auto event, which draws hundreds of car aficionados from all over British Columbia.
The weekend starts with a rod run leaving the A&W Restaurant at 6:30 p.m. on July 17.
The rod run, hosted by the 100 Mile Cruzers Car Club, will see participants cruise to Lone Butte.
On July 18, the fun begins at 2 p.m. with registration for a poker run.
Participants will leave the South Cariboo Rec. Centre at 3 p.m. and enjoy a scenic route toward the Green Lake area. Drivers will arrive at the 100 Mile House Community Hall at about 5:30 p.m.
“This year, Birch Avenue will be turned into one big street party,” says Almond. “BJ's Donut and Eatery will be having an outdoor barbeque and the rock band ThirdDegree from Williams Lake will be rocking out the tunes. Everyone is encouraged to come on down and enjoy the music.”
The Show 'n Shine at Centennial Park is July 19.
Gates open to the public at 10 a.m. ThirdDegree will be providing the entertainment.
“The organizers encourage all residents to come to the park to see over 200 classic cars and motorcycles from all over the province.”
Handicap parking and food vendors will be on site.
Hot July Nights won the Tourism and Recreation Award at the South Cariboo Chamber of Commerce Business Excellence Awards 2014.
