2025 Show & Shine

Our annual Show & Shine event on Sunday 3 August was a great success, with 53  vehicles registered, including 20 non-member or visitor cars, registration for which raised $300 for the club. Along with the ever-popular 50/50 fundraiser draw, and sale of merchandise, we raised almost $1,000.

The winner of this year’s People’s Choice award for best-in-show went to club members Grant Close & Judy Rogers for their red 1941 Chevy 3/4 ton pickup truck.

The 1st runner-up award went to visitor Steve Harris’s beautifully restored 1930 Vauxhall (Errington).

And the plaque for the 2nd runner-up was awarded to Kory Scarisbrich’s whimsical 1949 Chevy ‘Rat Rod’.

Thanks once again to the Gabriola Lions for providing food, Brian McMahon for providing the music, and the local automotive artists—Judith Madsen & Judy Moshinski—who came out to show their work and sell cards. We were proud once again to host one of the Gabriola fire trucks and ambulances, whose staff explained their equipment and answered questions during the day.
