International Old-timer Vehicles Exhibition “A”, May 18–19, 2012

In May, the Old-timer Vehicles Association Kamnik organized the 3rd International Old-timer Vehicles Exhibition “A” along with a gathering the day before.

On the day before the exhibition, Friday, May 18, participants began arriving at Arboretum Park after 2 p.m. The introductory evening started at 6 p.m. in a tent set up in the park, in collaboration with Radio and TV Veseljak.

The exhibition itself took place on Saturday, May 19, under beautiful sunny skies. Participants gathered with their vehicles at the Arboretum, where registration and a meeting with the organizers were held. This was followed by the formation of a procession of old-timer motorcycles and a separate procession of old-timer cars, both heading toward the center of Kamnik. There, we presented the beautiful old-timer motorcycles and cars to the gathered citizens. The exhibition was also joined by ambassadors and other distinguished guests. The Kamnik Town Band further entertained the participants and visitors.

Shortly before 1 p.m., the 3rd International Old-timer Vehicles Exhibition “A” DSV Kamnik 2012 was officially opened, with welcome speeches by the president of DSV Kamnik, Mr. Miroslav Vrhovnik, the mayor of Kamnik, Mr. Marjan Šarec, representatives of participants from the Czech Republic and Italy, and a blessing of the procession by the long-time supporter of the exhibition, Mr. Pavle Juhant.

After 1 p.m., both processions headed toward the Komenda Hippodrome, where they were welcomed by the Mayor of Komenda, Mr. Tomaž Drolc, and visited the KK Komenda stables. At 4 p.m., both processions departed back to Arboretum Park.

For the first time, the old-timer motorcycles and cars drove through the inner part of Arboretum Park and then lined up along the main avenue to be admired by the many visitors. The park staff decorated the vehicles with beautiful wedding arrangements.
