According to organizers the event has witnessed significant growth every year and draws a strong audience from Almaguin Highlands, Muskoka, and well beyond.
Event host Rob Rickward stated, “we are delighted to be hosting our 11th annual show, unfortunately, due to COVID-19 we had to pause the event the last two seasons… The interest level for this year has been huge with customers, suppliers, sponsors, and the core vintage snowmobile enthusiast. We had no idea over 11 years ago how big this event would become, Kearney has truly embraced the event.”
This year the event will be expanding the award categories by adding the following divisions, Best Race Sled, Best Sled, and Sleigh and Best Dressed attendee in vintage snowmobile gear. The traditional categories of antique, vintage, and classic will also be recognized.
Classic snowmobile restoration has become a very popular hobby in the province with significant growth each year.
The Mayor’s V. I. P. Vintage Sled Cruise will be taking place on show day as well.
The show starts at 9 a.m. and concludes at 2:30 p.m. and takes place in the parking lot of Rickward’s Polaris (adjacent to the snowmobile trail) at 1914, Hwy 518 in Kearney. Organizers say 2023 should be one of the largest shows to date.
