The Lloydminster Auto Club held its annual specialty vehicle show and shine on July 20 at Lion’s Park, marking yet another successful year for car enthusiasts and the local community. With no entry fee, attendees were encouraged to make donations, with all proceeds collected at the event going to support a local charity.
Established in 1978, the Lloydminster Auto Club has a rich history of bringing together automobile enthusiasts.
Despite the,sweltering, sultry weather conditions, along with smoky air from wildfires throughout the province and neighbouring provinces attendees enjoyed the impressive lineup of 80 specialty vehicles, making it one of the largest exhibitions on the grass to date for the club. Enthusiasts from near and far flocked to the event, with participants showcasing their prized automobiles from areas all over Alberta and Saskatchewan such as Sherwood Park, Camrose, North Battleford, and Saskatoon. The event truly highlighted the passion and dedication of the Lloydminster Auto Club and its members.
As attendees enjoyed the exhibition, Lasting Impressions and Prairie Lilly Coffee, the event’s food vendors, provided delectable eats and drinks to satisfy everyone’s cravings. Adding to the festive atmosphere, Area 51 DJ Service filled the air with a mix of tunes, energizing the crowd and enhancing the overall experience.
In 2023 attendees demonstrated incredible generosity, enabling the club to present a cheque to Border City Connects. Continuing this tradition, this year’s event will also donate its proceeds to support a local charity, with the chosen organization to be announced at the 2025 car show.
Reflecting on the success of the show, club president Dave Deeg expressed his gratitude to all participants and fans who contributed to the event’s triumph. He remarked, “I would like to thank everyone that participated as well as all the fans that made it out to the show, as they are the ones who made the show such a success. We look forward to doing it again next year.”
