All Pontiac Show & Shine - Langley, BC - Sunday June 10
Posted: Mon May 14, 2012 12:37 am
Once a year the Pacific Performance Pontiac Car Club hosts an All Pontiac Show'n'Shine. This year it is on Sunday, June 10, 2012 in the parking lot at the Coast Hotel & Convention Center in sunny Langley (close to the Blaine or Aldergrove crossings), British Columbia. The PPPCC http://www.pppcc.com/ is the largest and as far as I know only, all-inclusive Pontiac club based in the lower mainland of British Columbia.
All Pontiacs are welcome, it doesn't matter if you are a PPPCC member or not. I've been going for a few years now and I'll be back again this year. But it would be better to have more Bonnevilles at the show. Last year I was the only FWD Bonneville, the year before a nice white GXP came up from Washington State.
You can check out pictures of all the Pontiacs that were at last years show here https://picasaweb.google.com/pppcc2008/ ... dShine2011 .
This is not a points judging type of show, it is very relaxed and friendly. If you've not entered a show before, basically you do whatever your car needs to make it presentable prior to the show, then when you arrive you are directed where to park, since all cars in the same class are parked together. You set it up how ever you want to display it, hood up, trunk open, display board if you are really serious, and perform any last minute detailing. Each entrant gets a ballot and then you walk around, visit with the other Pontiac car owners, check out their cars and vote for your favorite in each class (last year there was about 15 classes). The ballots are counted and awards are presented, always a first in class and then maybe even a second or third in class, depending on the number of cars in the class. Last year the awards were plaques and ribbons.
If you're interested you can pre-register by printing the entry form here http://www.pppcc.com/show12.html and click the Registration Form link. You can just show up and register the day of the event but it is cheaper to pre-register and it helps the organizers have a better idea how many cars are in each class, so they can arrange the show field and plan the awards appropriately.
Thanks, and hope to see some of my fellow BC and Washington pontiacbonnevilleclub members there.
