Anticipation is building for this year's Lakers Car Club Show and Shine and Spring Roundup, taking place May 24 and 25.
The Spring Round up Poker Run will start from the Tourism Discovery Centre beginning at noon Saturday, May 24, and going until 3 p.m, with $600 in cash prizes for entrants joining in the poker run. There will also be free coffee and donuts.
The popular cruise through Williams Lake starts at 4 p.m. from the TDC and ends at Signal Point (Chances).
This year's Spring Round Up Dinner will be held at Signal Point at 5:30 p.m. Dinner tickets are available on the website lakerscarclub.ca or email lakerscarclubwl@gmail.com. Anyone wanting to attend is asked to please reserve by May 15.
The Show and Shine will be on Oliver Street and First Avenue with gates opening at 8 a.m. and the show running from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
All years, makes and models are welcome, says the club.
"Cars, trucks, motorcycles, tractors, including children's ride em' class."
There will be a $1,000 cash prize draw for car show entrants participating in the show.
The Lakers will also have a bucket draw and silent auction with proceeds going to the high school bursary program and local charities.
Additionally there will be the usual raffle, this time for the benefit of Williams Lake KidsSport.
The raffle draw will be held on the day of the show.
Joining the show this year are the Lions Club who will serve a pancake breakfast from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. The Williams Lake Blue Fins will have a hot dog stand with all proceeds going to the club.
Spring Round Up T-Shirts will be available for $30 at the show or can be ordered in advance. Information about purchasing them is available on the Lakers website.
"The Lakers Car Club is expecting more than 200 entries for our 29th Annual Spring Round Up Show and Shine," the club said. "Participants in our show travel far and wide with entrants coming from all over B.C., Alberta and Washington State which gives our community a real boost and showcases our wonderful little city in the Cariboo. This is a really Great Car Show, there is always something for everyone to see and enjoy."
None of this would be possible, the club says, if it were not for the support from our generous sponsors.
The Lakers Car Club says it is always seeking new members and there is no need to have a vintage car to join.
"We have a great group of people and would love to have you come out to any of our meetings or events."
