The Cornerstone Cruisers' annual car show and shine is a spectacle to behold, attracting a diverse array of classic vehicles and a massive crowd to Kenosee Lake. This year's event, the 11th in its history, was a resounding success, with 213 vehicles registered and an estimated 50-60 more showing up, bringing the total to an impressive number. The sheer variety of vehicles on display is what makes this event so captivating. From cars and trucks to motorcycles and semi-trucks, each vehicle tells a unique story of craftsmanship and passion. The participants, often traveling from distant cities like Regina, Swift Current, and Brandon, bring their prized possessions to be judged and admired. The People's Choice Awards, a highlight of the event, showcase the diverse tastes of the audience, with categories ranging from cars and trucks to motorcycles and rat rods. The presence of both perennial favorites and new entrants adds an element of surprise and excitement. The event isn't just about the vehicles; it's a community gathering where enthusiasts can connect, share their knowledge, and even buy or sell vehicles or parts. The Wawota Day Care's contribution of serving hamburgers and hot dogs throughout the day added a touch of warmth and hospitality, making the event more than just a car show. The highlight of the event, however, was the auction of a coffee table donated by TNT Oilfield Services in Lampman, which raised funds for Reinholt Teichgraber from Midale. The estimated value of the coffee table was a staggering $4,200, and the pot of gold draw further added to the excitement. The Cornerstone Cruisers' dedication to giving back is commendable. They not only provide a platform for vehicle enthusiasts but also contribute to the community by handing out a $500 scholarship to students pursuing careers in mechanics, auto body repair, or related fields. Additionally, the club donates to the STARS Air Ambulance, showcasing their commitment to safety and support. This event is more than just a showcase of classic vehicles; it's a celebration of community, passion, and the joy of sharing one's hobbies with others. It's a testament to the power of bringing people together and creating memorable experiences that leave a lasting impression.
