On Saturday August 18th, the
Uptown Village Association and the Slo Poks car club of Vancouver,
put on the very first Uptown Village Show and Shine. The show and
shine was designed to benefit the Hough Foundation, which supports
local schools with resources and school supplies for the upcoming
school year. Main Street was barricaded off for this special event
from Fourth Plain to McLoughlin so the show cars and spectators could
fill the streets. The show was well attended with nearly the
capacity of 150 high quality cars on display on picturesque Main
Street. Spectators and participants could take part in a huge raffle
for tons of cool prizes gathered by the Slo Poks. There were special
awards for the winners, all one of a kind hot rod themed trophies,
works of art actually, hand crafted by the Slo Poks members. The Slo
Poks (who is celebrating their 60th anniversary this
year!) provided all of the volunteer man hours power to put the show
and shine on, run the show and cleanup afterwords. The event brought
together communities of people to enjoy a great day with their
passions, ranging from great coffee, fine dining and antique shopping
to custom cars and hot rods! All for a great cause, supporting the
local schools. Look for this great event next year!
Picturesque Main Street was filled with people and
150 cool cars!
