The Port Elgin Pumpkinfest Rolling Car Show will be held virtually this year.
Cars will be showcased online and during the live stream on October 3.
Sharon Shular, car show Chair says “Regardless of the careful thought and preparation that has gone into the OLG Cinderella’s Carriage Rolling Car Show to keep both the participants and local community safe, we must put the health and safety of our community first.”
Shular says, “COVID-19 requires the people of our world to be careful and respectful of each other. On Saturday, September 19, a large group of individuals gathered in Ancaster, Ontario for a car event. This has prompted swift and concise action from the Provincial Government and local health authorities. We have also been watching the numbers of COVID-19 cases in our province rise to alarming numbers in the last few weeks and have made this decision on the advice of Pubic Health Grey-Bruce and the Saugeen Shores Police Services.”
A selection of the hundreds of car show pre-registrants who submitted a photo of their car will be showcased during the live streaming of the Bruce Power International Weigh Off event on Saturday, October 3.
You can still add your car to the live stream by submitting your photo at www.pumpkinfest.org/carshow/carshow.
A statement from Pumpkinfest says, “We would like to thank Public Health and Saugeen Shores for working with us to ensure the Weigh Off will continue, and is a safe event. We have strict protocols and controls in place with no public attendance.”
Pumpkinfest is set to take place online on Saturday, October 3 starting at 9 a.m. at www.pumpkinfest.org.
