From local businesses, food options, and friendly people, event attendees not only got to enjoy the beautiful weather but got to take a trip back in time.

The theme of the event was pick your decade. Both car owners and event attendees were invited to show up in their best-themed outfits.

Nearly 140 vehicles made an appearance for attendees to enjoy. Not only were there Saskatchewan vehicle owners but people made the trek from Alberta, Manitoba, and B.C. as well.

Not only were the vehicles there for people to enjoy, but they were also competing for various awards including the following:
