The highlight of the weekend will be the unveiling of the 1919 Adams Motor Bungalow that Backus Heritage Conservation Area has in its collection displayed in the in the 1967 Centennial Museum.

It is estimated that there will be a minimum of 15 – 20 units in attendance of vintage cars pulling vintage camping trailers. The majority of the participants attending the event will be from the U.S. States of Florida, Wisconsin, Michigan and Ohio.
A presentation will be held on Saturday afternoon at 1:00 pm with a talk and demonstration displaying antique camping paraphernalia. This display will be exhibited throughout the weekend, with approximately an hour long talk beginning at 1:00pm on Saturday
The weekend will begin with a convoy of the caravans parading through downtown Port Rowan announcing their arrival at approximately 4:00 pm on Friday July 29th where they will proceed to their camping spot for the weekend at Backus Heritage Village where they will be setting up camp until Sunday afternoon.
All vintage vehicles will be offered free day use admission into the park that weekend; the Tin Can Tourists are hoping to attract visitors owning vintage vehicles from near and far to bring them to the village for the weekend giving a warm Canadian welcome to all of the American travellers
