Two
major events
are held annually by this Chapter. The Cherry Lane Car Show, held
in Penticton during the first week of April 2007, features members'
cars in the local mall. The
Club will continue to attract the attention of the public
by including their input into a "People's Choice" award, creating
displays that depict the
fashions, styles and designs of the decades represented by the
vehicles. The Penticton Swap Meet, which was cancelled this year
due to city construction will, resume in 2008.

ANNUAL SWAP MEET IN PENTICTON APRIL 26, 2008 The annual swap meet is held each spring at The Curling Rink, situated
next to Highway 97, selected for its high visibility, huge parking lot
(no more tow trucks) has huge customer-potential. Address: 505 Railway
Avenue. NOTE: DETOUR TO CURLING
RINK: Coming from Kelowna, turn left at first light. Follow
signs and arrows on Westminster. Turn right at Railway Ave. Follow
signs in parking lot to the Curling Rink. The city has cancelled overnight RV parking by the curling rink. We welcome vendors who are interested in selling ANTIQUE, VINTAGE, CUSTOM, STREET RODS, MUSCLE CARS and PARTS. This year we are expanding to include ANTIQUE MACHINERY CLUBS that specialize in tractors and engines. The older and rustier the better. We regret to announce that the city has decided to contract out the food service facility. Breakfast will be served at 8, lunch at noon. We will miss our entertaining buddies who capably managed Kelowna's Kruisin' Kitchen for so many years. With emphasis on the automotive theme only a few tables will be allocated for ANTIQUES and COLLECTIBLES (household items, fashions, toys, literature). |
