An Evening at Flamboro Speedway (Sat, September 12, 2026)

Sat, 12 Sep 2026 22:30:00 GMT

An Evening at Flamboro Speedway

Join your fellow Probus members for an exciting evening of stock car racing at Flamboro Speedway! Whether you’re a longtime racing fan or have never attended a race before, this is a wonderful opportunity to experience the excitement of local short-track racing.

Friday, September 12

Race Time: 6:30 p.m. (but arrive early!)

Location: Flamboro Speedway, 873 5th Concession Rd W , Millgrove

Admission: Seniors $25 per person ( pay your own when you arrive)

Rain Date: Saturday, September 13

Convenor: Irene Hiebert

If it’s your first visit to Flamboro Speedway, you’re in for a memorable evening. The lively atmosphere, close-up racing, and roar of the engines make for an unforgettable experience. You’ll not only see the action, you’ll hear it and feel it!

Our visit coincides with the Speedway’s Memorial Night and Fan Appreciation Corn Roast. Following the races, everyone is invited into the pit area for a complimentary corn roast where fans can meet the drivers, collect autographs, and enjoy fresh corn in a relaxed, friendly setting.

The racing program typically lasts 2½ to 3 hours and features several different classes of stock cars, providing plenty of action and variety throughout the evening.

Helpful Tips for a Great Evening

Plan to arrive 30 to 45 minutes before the 6:30 p.m. start (around 5:45–6:00 p.m.) to allow time for parking, purchasing refreshments, and finding good seats. (There is a "ticket" system for the concessions, line-up to buy tickets after determing how many you need, then line-up to order your food/drinks.)
We will aim to sit near the middle of the grandstand, as it offers an excellent view of the entire oval track.
Earplugs or earmuffs strongly recommended, as the race cars are much louder than you might expect.
A seat cushion or blanket can make the wooden bleachers much more comfortable during the evening.
Dress for changing temperatures. While the day may be warm, evenings can become quite cool.
Stay for the final feature race, which is usually the highlight of the night.
After the racing, be sure to enjoy the free Fan Appreciation Corn Roast and take advantage of the opportunity to meet the drivers and explore the pit area.

We hope you’ll join us for an evening of thrilling racing, great company, and a unique local entertainment experience!

All is Calm: The Christmas Truce of 1914 (Tue, December 01, 2026)

Tue, 01 Dec 2026 19:00:00 GMT

All is Calm: The Christmas Truce of 1914

This holiday season, join us for a remarkable true story of Peace on Earth, told in the words and songs of the men who lived it.

A gaggle of weary English soldiers hunker down in the trenches of The Western Front at Christmas in 1914. They slowly realize that all is calm, until they hear a solo voice with a Christmas carol drifting toward them. A German soldier steps into No Man’s Land singing “Stille Nacht,” and what follows is an extraordinary night of camaraderie, fueled by stories, patriotic tunes, trench songs, and Christmas carols.

Crowned “One of the top live events for Christmas in North America” by BBC Music Magazine, All Is Calm will take you on a journey to parts of the heart rarely explored. Don’t miss this unforgettable celebration of our shared humanity.
