Trail which is one of the dirtiest cities I have ever seen on planet earth, has one of the coolest contests at their games. They award a free car wash to the dirtiest car in the parking lot and then show it on the TV with the license plate. Good idea. They also do air guitar at the whistle intermission for the kids. Which makes more sense than the stupid kiss cam they do in Blackfalds.
