Classic Cars take over Fort Motors lot on first weekend of June

FORT ST. JOHN, B.C. — A summertime classic event will take over Fort St. John’s Fort Motors car lot on the first weekend of June.

Fort Motors’ fourth annual classic car show, featuring trucks, cars and motorcycles will take place on Saturday, June 6th.

According to Fort Motors’ business development manager, April Lewicki, the show began during the Covid pandemic.

“We had no inventory,” Lewicki told Energeticcity.ca. “I thought, ‘why don’t we fill our lot and have a car show. We started with that idea, and it’s grown from there.”

Described as a family-friendly event, the lot will also feature bouncy castles and face painting for children. Live music, courtesy of local band Turnaround, will also be part of the show.

Food will be provided by Brown’s Socialhouse, with proceeds from sales benefitting the North Peace SPCA.

“They donate everything to charity, and we match that,” said Lewicki.

Autos entered in the show will be eligible for awards, including best in show, best modern vehicle, people’s choice and more.

The event will take place on Saturday, June 6th, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., at Fort Motors, located at 11104 Alaska Road in Fort St. John. Entry to the event is free.

Car entry and registration, which is also free, will begin at 9 a.m.
