Show and Shine a huge success

There wasn't room for one more car, as owners and presenters from around the province converged on Ashcroft for the Show and Shine.

Ashcroft's Ron Matkea (l) presents a leather plaque to Bill Hood from 100 Mile House at this year's Show and Shine. There is a draw every year for one of Matkea's hand-carved plaques.

This year’s sixth annual Ashcroft Show and Shine was a huge success, with 81 owners/presenters bringing a record 91 vehicles to the show. Presenters came from as far afield as Quesnel, Williams Lake, 150 Mile, and Hope, but there was also a large contingent of local car owners. Bill Hood of 100 Mile House won the hand-carved leather plaque created by Ashcroft resident Ron Matkea, while Ashcroft’s Peter Wratschun won a gift pack from Lordco.
