The Pure Energy Show and Shine made a triumphant return to Estevan on Saturday, as a large crowd turned out for the event.
Sixty-six vehicles were on display in the 1100 and 1200 blocks of 4th Street, and many people besides exhibitors turned out to view the antique vehicles on display.
The Estevan Drag Racing Association organized the show and shine, in partnership with the City of Estevan, and they hope it can once again become an annual event. It was held in Estevan for a number of years, but it hasn’t taken place the last couple of years.
Awards were handed out in several categories. Macoun’s Darren Barnstable took top place in the antique class, and Arlann Dutton of Estevan received an honourable mention. Estevan’s John Dyck was the winner in the custom class, with Minton’s Kelly Hoffart the runner-up.
Dolores Hoffart of Bienfait finished first in the performance class, and Estevan’s Chuck Stepp earned the honourable mention. And Jeremy Mack and Nolan Mack, both of Estevan, were the winner and the honourable mention, respectively, in the motorcycle class.
Brenda Blackburn of Estevan was the winner in the people’s choice category.
Other highlights of the event included an appearance of the new school resource vehicle for the Estevan Police Service, and remote controlled cars that were brought in by the Sun City Prop Busters.
