Gearheads returns

Times Reporter 

 

The fourth annual Gearheads custom and classic car/truck show at High Eagle RV Resort in Rosebud is on July 20. 

The show began when a client mentioned a car show he had been at in Lethbridge to Ed Sonmor of High Eagle RV Resort. The guy said it was to hot and even with all the nice cars he couldn’t enjoy the show because of the heat from the sun and the pavement, but hinted to Sonmor that it would be nice if there could be a show in a place like the RV resorts. 

“I thought why not because our clients do call High Eagle the emeralds of the Badlands because we’re so green and cozy in here. It took off from there and we just kind of grabbed that ball and ran with it and formed the Gearheads Car Club over here and got a band and got some food people in and of course got a hold of the car people and it’s been doing great ever since,” said Sonmor. 

The venue size is little restricted, but can fit 80-105 cars and trucks. Sonmor said he prefers if people pre-register so he can get an idea of how many vehicles may be showing up. 

The show also features live music with the Cat Country Cougar Hunters performing. There will also be a 50/50 draw, door prizes, ice cream and other food. 

“We kind of have the lawn chair concert in the park along with the car show,” said Sonmor.

“It’s just a nice Sunday afternoon, meet some new friends and do a little bench racing and see what kind of modifications some guys make – all that kind of stuff.”

The show will go on no matter the weather. 

“I ain’t cancelling nothing, the band plays on, if nobody shows up then I’ll dance to it myself,” said Sonmor laughing. 

Vehicle registration is at noon on July 20 and the show is open to the public from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. Photos and more information can be found online at www.higheaglervpark.com. To pre-register call Jeanne or Ed Sonmor at 403-677-2577.
