Hundreds paraded through the Canadian Tire parking lot Sunday as the store, along with the Lakers Car Club, hosted the 12th Annual Canadian Tire Show and Shine.

Wayne Potter, president of the Lakers Car Club, said it’s always a phenomenal event, helped out by Canadian Tire’s generous support.

“Brian Stefan (Williams Lake Canadian Tire owner) basically puts this on and we just help him out,” Potter said. “This just gets bigger and bigger every year.”

This year’s event featured upwards of 50 extravagant cars, trucks and bikes, to name a few. Members from the 100 Mile Cruisers, the southern brothers and sisters of the local car club, also made the trek north to help out with the car show.

“We have a lot of fun,” Potter said.

Also Sunday was the raffle draw for the Child Development Centre and the Lakers Car Club’s joint raffle where three grand prizes were drawn.

The first was a stand-up toolbox from Canadian Tire; the second was a portable barbecue donated by Canwest Propane; and the third was  a chain saw donated by Williams Lake forestry.

The raffle began May 28 at the car club’s street show.
