Three Hills Street Freaks History
The club was started in 1981 after a handful of local car enthusiasts
organized a Cruise on the first Saturday evening in June
1981. That first Cruise Nite was very small but was a good start.
Over the years it started at 6:00 PM always the first saturday in
June and grew larger every year. The atmosphere was very amazing, lots
of people, the heat rising off of the hot pavement and from the
cruising vehicles. As it became darker the lights from the vehicles
added to the atmosphere.
As the years went by it was suggested we have a specific time earlier
in the day for a show and shine limited to 300 vehicles first come
first serve filling our Main Street. It took off and has since
over taken the cruise and the cruise has almost died.
Now the vehicles line up starting at 8:00 am and we fill the Main
Street and then the grassy area along Railway Ave as well as
Railway Ave. We register anyone who qualifies.
We have had as many as 1500 vehicles registered. There is no way
to tell how many spectators but there are a lot.
We, the members of the club, represent a varied vehicular interest.
Some of us probably have too many interests. Thus the club
is not about a certain style, era or brand but about all special
interest vehicles. The club also spans a large age group 13 to
72.
One of the main emphasis' has been donations to local charities
from the money generated by t-shirt sales and registration.
Various community groups become involved by helping with security and
providing food booths. Thus it has become a major charitable
organization fund raiser for the Three Hills community.
