Fewer spaces and crummy weather combined to make for a much smaller Country Car Show, which marked its 10th anniversary in the rain-soaked front parking lot of Aldergrove Community Secondary School (ACSS) on Sunday, April 28.

Regan Lewis from the , organizers of the annual event, confirmed they had fewer spaces due to construction going on at the school.

鈥淲e鈥檝e had some challenges with regards to the construction,鈥滾ewis told the 91原创 Advance Times.

鈥淸There鈥檚] just a little less parking, but our big challenge right now appears to be the weather,鈥� he said.

鈥淲e鈥檝e got lots of rain.鈥�

On the plus side, there was plenty of parking for those who braved the damp weather to view the vehicles, and virtually no lineups for food and vendors.

鈥淎nd no sunburn,鈥� volunteer Mike McVay remarked.

About 50 vehicles were registered, a fraction of last year.

The 2023 event had more spaces and better weather, with 240 of 250 available spots on the school parking lot occupied 鈥� so many that it had organizers thinking about shifting the location to the nearby school playing field.

However, a closer look determined it would be too difficult to get the cars into the playing field because fences would have to be removed, and people would have to drive around the block to get in.

The $20 entry fee per vehicle provides $5 to help buy supplies for the school鈥檚 shop program to support young people entering the automotive profession.

McVay said some people dropped by to donate the fee without entering a vehicle.

Admission was free for spectators.

The show started as a casual once-a-year get-together in the Otter Co-op parking lot, a decade ago and has grown from there.
