The Altona branch of the South Central Regional Library held a fun-filled day on April 27, focusing on “Everything Cars.”
The day began with a mini car racing demonstration hosted by the South Manitoba Mini 4WD Club. The tracks were set up in the Altona Mall, just outside of the library.
Crowds gathered close for a front row seat to all the action and also had a chance to purchase one of their own mini cars.
The library also hosted a book sale, which attracted many bookworms, and author and photographer Steve Van Vlaenderen (above, left photo) made a presentation alongside his partner, Darlene Hildebrand, discussing his book Vanishing Wheels. The book features photos of abandoned vehicles found throughout Manitoba, Alberta, and Saskatchewan.
Proceeds from the book go to Parkinson’s Canada to fund research for the disease, with which the author and photographer himself lives.
