The roaring sound of revving engines and deep bass filled the air in Tatawaw Park Sunday afternoon, as the Next Gen Car Club Season Opener saw their biggest turnout so far.
After the club organized a sunset cruise the night before, the show saw decent weather and large crowds for the main event.
Car enthusiasts may have had some trouble getting to and from the park, but that is only due to the record number of participants and guests at the event. Staff were on hand to cope with greater crowds than anticipated, and food vendors provided refreshments.
The event featured a vehicle registration from 12-1 pm, and then a car show with competitions between 1-5 pm Sunday. The demonstration portion included a bass and an exhaust competition, and static displays were held throughout the park all afternoon.
The Next Gen Car Club is a Saskatchewan-based car club with over 3300 members. They organize community and social events, along with scheduled meetings for car enthusiasts.
One example of their outreach is a call to donate to the food bank. Event planners asked all members and guests to bring a non-perishable food item, to be picked up by the Moose Jaw Food Bank who were on scene to accept donations. In the 2022 season, Jai Singh, one of the club’s administrators, presented a check for over $1000 to the Moose Jaw Food Bank.
Next Gen Car Club merchandise is also available by messaging the group on their Facebook page, or can be purchased at Tristan’s Treats in Moose Jaw.
The club routinely announces new and upcoming events on their Facebook page.
