MELFORT — The 31st annual Show and Shine car show in Melfort is postponed until provincial regulations begin to ease, but expected to go ahead later this summer. Traditionally the event is held . . .
The Melfort Trade Alliance Chamber of Commerce is still going ahead with plans for their annual car show this year.
However, the event won’t be held on the normal Father’s Day weekend this year. Executive director Cam Lee told
northeastNOW they want to make sure they get the most out of the event.
“We figured, if we booked something later in the summer,” he said, “perhaps there would be a little bit more time to have some of those [COVID-19] restrictions lifted.”
Lee said the event is a great way to bring car enthusiasts to Melfort, “just to have a lot of like-minded people that are interested in cars and other vehicles to gather and to show off their babies,” Lee said, “and for the public to have a chance to walk around and just take a look and some really nice vehicles.”

In 2020, he ran unsuccessfully for city council. “I’ve been here for a while and I thought it would be a great opportunity,” Lee said. “I believe having a chamber of commerce back in Melfort will be a huge benefit for local businesses and the city as a whole.” As the executive director, some of his roles will include fostering relationships with local businesses, gaining new chamber memberships, and listening to concerns from the business community. Lee said one of his first projects will involve visiting local businesses to outline the benefits of chamber membership. “I’ll be going very quickly door to door to businesses in Melfort to explain why having a chamber is so important and some of the things the chamber can do for them,” Lee said.
