The annual Gravenhurst Car Show will be a virtual one this year.
The switch to virtual is due to Covid-19 this year.
Today (May 20th) marks the launch of registration for the show’s virtual edition which is sponsored by Canadian Tire Gravenhurst.
It’s a chance for car owners to showcase their vintage vehicles and compete for the Top 10 People’s Choice Awards for a range of prizes.
The first includes the first 100 car owners to register, who will get the chance to win $500 worth of tires from longtime car show sponsor Wayne’s Tire in Gravenhurst.
“This is one of the biggest events of the year in Gravenhurst, so it was a difficult decision to move the Car Show to a virtual format,” says Sandy Lockhart, Executive Director of the Gravenhurst Chamber of Commerce, which organised the event.
In the past, the event has drawn up to 600 cars and thousands of visitors.
“Giving classic car owners the chance to show off all their hard work online is the next best thing to doing it in person,” she adds.
To register your vehicle, visit gravenhurstcarshow.com between today and June 14th.
You need to take a photo of your car and include a bit of info about it.
Vehicles will be posted online at gravenhurstcarshow.com between June 17 and 24.
Voters can go online and vote for their favorites, which will be broken down by era.
You can also buy a car show t-shirt at the site and have it shipped to your home.
Organizers say to expect the show back at Gull Lake Park in 2021 on Saturday, June 9th
