KassDays Blog: Calgary's European Classic Car Invasion – 2025 ECCM Highlights

 

Welcome back to the KassDays blog! If you're new here, I'm Kass, your Southern Alberta YouTuber capturing local events, stunning nature, and everyday adventures across Calgary and beyond. Today, I'm diving into one of last summer's standout moments: the 32nd Annual European Classic Car Meet (ECCM) at Stanley Park on July 26, 2025.

 

Organized by the Vintage Sports Car Club of Calgary, this free-to-the-public event turned the park into a showcase of European automotive excellence. Despite cloudy skies and a cool breeze that had everyone watching the weather, around 180 classics rolled in—arranged country-by-country for that perfect thematic vibe.

 

Highlights included Italian Ferraris and Alfas gleaming alongside German Porsches, elegant British rides, and some rugged modified Land Rovers spotlighted by sponsors like TRS Automotive. Participants paid a small $20 registration fee, while spectators wandered freely, grabbing bites from food trucks and chatting with owners about their restoration stories. The no-revving, no-stunts rule kept the focus on appreciation and community.

 

 

I got there early to film the best angles, soaking in the details—from flawless chrome to perfectly preserved interiors. The passion was contagious, and it reminded me why these meets are such a highlight in Calgary's car scene.

I reorganized the footage into a country-by-country tour for the YouTube video, now live: "Calgary's Rare European Car Invasion!" It takes you row by row through Italy, Germany, Britain, and more—right from Stanley Park.

Millarville Skijor Showdown

Millarville Skijor Showdown: Alberta's Thrilling Winter Kick-Off 

Get ready for an unforgettable day of high-speed action this Saturday, February 7, 2026, at the Millarville Racetrack and Agriculture Society in Millarville, Alberta. The Millarville Skijor Showdown, presented by Skijor Alberta, marks the organization's debut event and brings the fast-growing sport of skijoring to the Foothills.

In skijoring, a skier is towed at breakneck speeds, often exceeding 40 km/h, behind a galloping horse (or team) through a course featuring gates, jumps, and rings. It's a perfect fusion of expert horsemanship, skiing skill, and pure adrenaline, rooted in western cowboy traditions with a modern twist.

Gates open at 11:00 AM MST, with the main races starting around noon. The day includes competitive skijor events, classic cowboy curling, a western market with vendors, a Bottlescrew Bill’s beer garden, and a fun "red carpet" entrance where rodeo princesses judge best-dressed attendees (male, female, and child categories). Dress in your finest western flair for the festive vibe!

Rescheduled from an earlier date due to snow conditions, this event launches Skijor Alberta's mission to grow and promote competitive skijoring across the province, with more races planned ahead.Tickets are selling fast—grab yours now via Showpass (search "Millarville Skijor Showdown"). Bundle up, head to the track, and experience the exciting collision of horses, skis, speed, and Alberta grit on snow!

Christmas Market at the Saskatoon Farm Alberta

 

 

Saskatoon Farm Christmas Market: A Holiday Treasure in Alberta

The Saskatoon Farm Christmas Market, featured in the delightful KassDays video, was a festive standout in 2025. Nestled just 15 minutes south of Calgary and 10 minutes east of Okotoks, this family-owned farm in Alberta’s Foothills turned into a cozy holiday haven over two magical weekends (Nov. 28–30 and Dec. 5–7). If you’re craving a dose of holiday cheer, this market and its KassDays showcase are not to be missed!

Picture this: over 200 local vendors tucked into heated greenhouses, offering everything from handcrafted ornaments to homemade jams. The air hummed with the scent of mulled cider and fresh-baked treats, while roaring fire-pits and twinkling lights set the perfect vibe. The KassDays video captures it all, shoppers browsing unique gifts, kids beaming at Santa’s grotto, and horse-drawn sleigh rides adding old-fashioned charm. It’s a heartwarming escape from city hustle, with 70% of spending supporting local artisans (per 2023 Canadian craft market data).

What makes Saskatoon Farm special? Its authentic community spirit. Live music, ice carving, and a kids’ play area with crafts and face painting kept everyone smiling. The video’s golden-hour shots of frosty paths and glowing Christmas trees highlight the market’s rustic magic. Unlike crowded malls, this market offered stress-free shopping and one-of-a-kind finds, all wrapped in prairie hospitality.

Though the 2025 season has ended, the KassDays video keeps the joy alive. In under 10 minutes, it bottles the market’s warmth, perfect for reliving the fun or planning a 2026 visit. The Saskatoon Farm, a year-round gem with a bakery, restaurant, and U-pick berries, proves small moments make big memories.

Want to feel the holiday glow? Watch the KassDays video on YouTube and follow along for more Alberta adventures. The Saskatoon Farm Christmas Market shows that the best gifts come from the heart, and a little prairie magic.

First Major Snowfall in Okotoks Alberta

 

 

Elizabeth Street After the First Big Dump: A Quiet Okotoks Snow Walk with KassDays

The storm rolled out around 4 a.m., leaving behind a few fresh inches and that rare, church-like silence that only new snow can buy. By 7:30 I have walked to the north end of Elizabeth Street, boots on, camera rolling. This is KassDays, solo edition, just me and the town I’ve been walking for the last couple of years on YouTube. I hit record.“Morning, crew. First real snowfall of the season and Elizabeth Street is absolutely dialed right now. Let’s go for a walk.” The sidewalk hasn’t been touched yet in most places. Every step punches through the crust with that perfect skrrranch-crunch that only cold, dry Alberta powder makes. The old elms that line the street are bent low, branches loaded like they’re carrying something sacred. Porch lights are still on; half the houses look like they’re glowing from the inside out, warm rectangles against the blue-white dark. I keep the pace slow. This isn’t a rush-through vlog; it’s a linger. Past the little yellow Craftsman with the crooked mailbox, past the place where somebody always carves a perfect snow ramp for their kids (already half-built at 7:45 a.m., legend). The only sounds are my breathing, the occasional squeak of snow under Sorels, and somewhere down the block a shovel scraping concrete in slow motion. You can hear the snow still falling; tiny crystals ticking against the lens hood like static.“This,” I say, “is why we live here. Ten minutes outside Calgary and the world just… turns the volume knob all the way down.” I stop again, zoom in, let the shot breathe.No music on this one. No jump cuts. Just boots, breath, and the soft hush of Okotoks waking up under a fresh blanket. By the time I reach the south Canada Post Office on Elizabeth Street my nose is frozen, my fingers are cold, and the street behind me holds one lone set of prints. I turn the camera around for a view. I walk along the side of the Sheep River pathway, marvelling at the pristine beauty of it all.  “That’s it for this morning, folks. Elizabeth Street, first real snow of the year. If you needed a reminder to slow down and feel something, this is it. Get out there and make the most of life. I’m Kass, this is KassDays, and I’ll catch you on the next walk.” Thumb on the stop button. Snow keeps falling. Perfect.
