In Pictures: The 2015 Show 'n' Shine

By David F. Rooney
The Vintage Car Club staged a pretty spectacular Show ‘n’ Shine on Saturday with about 150 gorgeous cars, trucks on display on MacKenzie Avenue as well as First and Second Streets.
The vehicles came from Revelstoke, other Kootenay communities and from as far afield as Qualicum Beach.
Long-time club member Denis Berarducci was thrilled with the turnout,  Not only did the event attract vintage vehicle owners from far and wide, but they came in significant numbers. Similar events staged just 10 years ago would have featured far fewer beautifully restored cars and trucks.
How beautiful were they? Well, if you didn’t get downtown to see for yourself the images below will give you a taste of what you missed:
