Lloydminster Auto Club Holds Annual Show And Shine Charity Fundraiser

The Lloydminster Auto Club held its annual specialty vehicle show and shine on July 18 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.

With hot, humid conditions and the threat of thundershowers it didn’t deter the attendees who 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, Triple S Concessions and Sugar Shack, the event’s food vendor, provided delectable eats and drinks to satisfy everyone’s cravings. Barr Colony was also onsite selling homemade ice cream. Adding to the festive atmosphere, Area 51 filled the air with a mix of tunes, enhancing the overall experience.

Also, in attendance this year was past president of the Lloydminster Royal Canadian Legion Branch 39 Scott Gorman who was selling beef raffle tickets for its 100th Anniversary for $10 per ticket.

“Each ticket provides the ticketholder a chance to win 4 individual prizes of a quarter beef. The beef is a 4H steer from Lone Rock 4H Beef Club, ‘Fed Calf Project’ processed into equal wrapped portions by Diamond 7 Meats Inc.,” said Gorman. The retail value of each of the four quarters of beef is $1,787.50. Tickets are on sale from any Legion member (306) 825-2521, or at one of the following Locations: Coldwell Bankers 3812- 51 Ave, Cliff Rose, Classice Oilfield Services Ltd, or Chopstix Pho & Grill

In 2025 attendees demonstrated incredible generosity, enabling the club to present a cheque to the Lloydminster Lions Club District 5 SKN. 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 2027 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.”
