2025 Event Review
Once again, the 2025 Show and Shine was a rolling success. Over 185 cars were parked on the grass, in the skating rink and in the parking lot. The weather was great all day as hundreds of spectators came out to see the vehicles and support Enviros. The Enviros team did a wonderful job cooking 400 hamburgers and 40 hot dogs to go with the 100 slices of pizza that were donated by Boston Pizza. The kids zone had FREE freezies, a face painter and tattoo artist.
In the end, the event again raised over $10,000 for Enviros. If you would like to know more of what Enviros supports, you can visit their website at www.Enviros.org. Proceeds from this years’ show is going to support vulnerable youth and young adults. Without all the volunteers, sponsors, participants and DCA support, this community event would not be possible. Thank you to everyone involved.
We would like to thank all the sponsors for their continued support of this event, as all of the sponsors returned this year and we added a couple new ones. Without their support we would not be able to host such a great event.
ARC Resources, Fountain Tire, Safeway, Reflections Auto Detailing, Boston Pizza, Crowfoot Auto Value, Earls Kitchen & Bar, Foot Locker, Shaganappi GM, Angles Hair, Basket Case, Pet Valu and Ducks Unlimited.
Planning is already underway for next years show. The date is set for September 5, 2026. If you would like to be a part of the preparations, volunteer for the day of the event or be a sponsor, please contact Barry at barryneslo@gmail.com. As well, if you have any suggestions to make the show better, please let me know.
We would like to thank the continued support of the show by the vehicle owners and the greater Dalhousie community. Being a part of an event such as this, brings us all a little bit closer together as a community.
