Today's big event was the 2nd annual Walkerton Car Show. What an amazing turnout --- both cars and people. There were so many cars that they had to start parking them on the side streets. Here's a few photos of what we saw.
Who can resist a corvette convertible and matching trailer.
It's amazing that something that looks so rusty hasn't crumbled.
Cute little buggy.
One of our neighbour's Model A. Jim got priority parking on the sidewalk as it was in front of Window Business. The perks of knowing the owner.
A parking lot of motorbikes.
One of my favourites --- an MG TD.
In the afternoon was the event I was waiting for --- the Pet Paradise Dog Show. The dogs were amazing and the trainers were pretty good too.
Extra jump height is achieved by jumping off the trainers back --- look at those teeth --- don't get in between a dog and his Frisbee. The trust between dog and trainer is incredible. The dogs would just leap at the trainer knowing they would be caught.
The dog was very content standing on the trainers feet looking at the crowd. She had to wiggle her feet to get the dog to jump down. The dog can skip rope better than I can.
The dogs can jump really high. Well, except maybe for Grander, a big Newfoundland. He seemed to prefer the brute force method.
One more jump for a Frisbee. There were also a lot of activities for children over the weekend. Saturday had a pirate show and face painting, today was a magician, petting zoo and pony rides.
There was also lots of entertainment at the beer tent and another dance in the evening. The arena was became a dining hall for the weekend where breakfast, lunch and dinner was served to about 400 people.
