Enjoy cars, stars and guitars this weekend at 22nd annual Classic and Custom Car Show
AROUND TOWN
RUN FOR WATER
BC CLASSIC & CUSTOM CAR SHOW April 20-22 Tradex bccustomcarshow.com
FV FOOD TRUCK FESTIVAL The 2018 British Columbia Classic and Custom Car Show will make this the longestrunning indoor custom
car show in BC. “It has been an evolution so to speak,” said producer Richardt Scholz.
The three-day blended trade and consumer show began in 1997 as the Vancouver Classic Motoring Show, which
displayed around 40 luxury European cars in the lobby and hallways of The Vancouver Hotel. Now, the show features
200 display cars and 70 vendors indoors and a pre-1970s Show and Shine, lowrider display, custom motorcycle showcase and prostreet burnout contest outdoors.
April 28, 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Thunderbird Square fvfoodtruckfestival.com
Since 2000 the show has been at Abbotsford’s Tradex and features car exhibits, car clubs, motorsport attractions, celebrity car stars, and activities for the whole family.
TRUXPO
“In this tech-crazed world kids are less inclined to be mechanical. Getting them into something where they’re using their hands, interacting with other people, and building something is a great hobby to have,” said Scholz. Known as the builder’s show, car lovers and those looking to get into cars can speak to professionals about building their dream car. This year’s feature car is a 1939 Lincoln Zephyr. Making its Canadian debut at the 2018 BC Classic and Custom Car Show, “Amelia” (named after Amelia Earhart) is lowered, has fender extensions, custom paint and an eight-inch roof chop. Enthusiasts view classic and custom cars as rolling art, with the modifications needing to both work mechanically and match exactly to the builder’s specifications. The BC Hot Rod Association and Pacific International Street Rod Association will have large displays and there are also a few customs and hot rods coming up from the United States.
05/31/2018.
“A lot of people who are in the bald spots and silver tops phase can appreciate what we had,” Scholz said. “We didn’t know how good we had it—these cars are a reflection of that.” He described the show as a trip down memory lane.

ABBYNEWS.COM /CALENDAR The BC Classic and Custom Car Show is also celebrating the 45th anniversary of the iconic car culture film American Graffiti. The 1973 movie about hot rods and cruising culture inspired Langley’s John VanWerkhoven to recreate all seven of the film’s feature cars, which will be displayed together for the first time at the show. American Graffiti actors Bo Hopkins (Joe) and Candy Clark (Debbie) will also be at the show signing autographs and taking photos in a Mel’s Diner set, where much of the action from the movie took place. Other features include live music from The Hamilton Harvey Band,
beer garden, and a jet-car performance featuring 50-foot flames. “The jet cars are worth the price of admission if you’ve never seen this before,” said Scholz. “What you’re seeing, feeling, hearing, smelling, and tasting is just unbelievable.” From April 20 to 22, the Fraser Valley Trade and Exhibition Centre plays host to the 22nd annual British Columbia Classic and Custom Car Show. Parking is $6 and admission is $18 for adults ages 19 to 55, $15 for seniors, $10 for youth, and free for children 12 and under.

The Farmer and the Foodie How did eight years pass by so quickly? Previously content as a stay-at-home farmer’s wife and mom, cooking mountains of food, running for tractor parts, managing the farm accounting and puttering in the vegetable garden, I loved my days. So when my risk-taking farmer shook me out of my comfortable life, I naively pledged to give the market two years of full time work before I retreated back to my quiet routine. It’s a good thing I didn’t realize how unrealistic that was, as I probably would have fled to the hills! Thankfully, eight years later, Rob and I enthusiastically share our days with an incredible group of people who join our passion in providing top quality, locally farmed food, striving for excellent customer service and creating a fun and enriching workplace for all. None of us ever dared to imagine the incredibly warm welcome
and support our local community has shown. Still at the root of all we do is the belief that using quality ingredients in simple recipes pes to share with those se Celeb we love is one r our ating of life’s great pleasures, Anni more true April versary today even 11am 2 8 - 2 9 - 4pm then when the market was nothing more than napkin sketches and an empty t gravel lot. Please join us in celebrating eight years of local food, our anniversary weekend is a time for us to thank you for your amazing support. Because great music, free family activities and, of course, delicious food, is always better when shared.

TODAY’S
TRENDS
o t s k o lo
Spring is in the air, and that means colour and pattern are front and centre in the fashion scene. Trendy colours for Spring Summer 2018 will take two opposed directions: strong, vibrant palettes to ethereal pastel hues. Navy and white also makes a comeback. White is no longer a summer-only choice, and is now popping up year-round in pieces from tailored trousers to sleek blazers that are appropriate for the office and beyond. At this time of year, crop pants are a popular choice and can be paired with everything from strappy pumps to cute flats. And don’t forget about pattern. This season, stripes make a big presence as well as geometrics, bold abstracts, and floral prints. FASHIONS AVAILABLE AT RONALD ALLAN

Amazing uses for vinegar you’ll want to know
Many are surprised upon learning how much vinegar can do. A sour-tasting liquid that contains acetic acid, vinegar can be used as a cleaning product and an influential ingredient in many recipes. Vinegar also is relatively inexpensive, making it a cost-effective home staple. If you are ready to get more from that versatile vinegar in your kitchen pantry, explore the following ways to put it to use.
CLEANING Vinegar is an effective cleaning fluid, perhaps best known for producing streakfree windows. Vinegar also can dissolve dirt from painted walls and remove grime from woodwork. By boiling 1⁄4 cup of white distilled vinegar in the microwave with a cup of water, you can loosen splattered-on food and deodorize the appliance. Vinegar also can
be used to deodorize garbage disposals, coffee makers and kitchen drains. It’s an effective means to removing pet odors from carpeting as well. Around the bathroom, use vinegar to remove soap scum film from shower doors and tile surfaces. Remove stubborn toilet bowl stains as well. Corrosion and hard water can clog showerheads, and by soaking the shower nozzle in vinegar overnight, you can dislodge any material. You can rely on vinegar when cleaning up around your home office as well. Vinegar can help clean sticky scissor blades or remove ballpoint-pen marks from surfaces. A vinegar-and-water solution can be used to clean keyboards and other electronic equipment. Apply with a damp cloth rather than spraying the solution directly onto the electronics.
LAWN AND GARDEN Vinegar makes an effective weed deterrent and can kill grass that grows between the cracks on sidewalks and driveways. Acid-loving plants, such as rhododendrons or azaleas, can benefit from a little vinegar mixed in when watering.
If you want to keep ants at bay, use vinegar when cleaning outdoor patio furniture or spray it around areas that are susceptible to ant infestations. You may find the ants steer clear of the smell.

• Avocados are loaded with vitamins including C, E, K, and B-6. Avocados also contain beta-carotene, which the human body converts into vitamin A that promotes healthy skin and a strong immune system.
• Avocados may help fight depression. Avocados are loaded with omega-3 fatty acids, which benefit the body in myriad ways. One of those ways is by helping to reduce the symptoms of depression. Polyunsaturated fats such as omega-3 fatty acids are thought to antagonize inflammatory cytokines that can contribute to feelings of depression.

Avocado toast might be as healthy as it is popular. Avocados boast a host of health benefits, some of which might surprise even the most ardent devotee of avocado toast.
• Avocados can promote healthier bones. Because they’re high in vitamin K, a nutrient that is crucial for bone health, avocados may help reduce a person’s risk of developing osteoporosis, a condition characterized by bones becoming fragile and brittle due to loss of tissue. Vitamin K may help improve the intestinal absorption of calcium. That’s a significant benefit, as calcium deficiency has long been associated with a greater risk for osteoporosis.

The popularity of avocado toast has exploded in recent years, but it has actually been around for decades. Many trace the origins of avocado toast to Australia, though it’s hard for food historians to say with utmost certainty where the dish was first served.
