13th Annual Canyon Lake Car Show Winners…

More than 250 pre-1977 classic and custom vehicles sporting shiny reds, blues and yellows rolled into the Canyon Lake Lodge for the 13th annual Car Show on Saturday.

Sponsored by the Canyon Lake Car Club and POA, the Car Show featured hundreds of vintage cars, trucks and hot rods, food and merchandise vendors, music by High Energy Sound and Lighting, awards, silent auction and prize drawings.

More than 25 awards in various categories were presented by Canyon Lake Car Club President Joe Landin. As hosts of the Car Show, Canyon Lake Car Club members are not eligible to win trophies. Each participant received a Car Show T-shirt, goody bag and a commemorative plaque.

Chip Foose of Foose Designs and the television show Overhaulin’ made a special appearance and signed autographs. Chip also autographed two wagons, donated by Keith Walker of All Out Paintless Dent Removal, that were auctioned off, raising $775 for the Progeria Research Foundation.

The 50/50 drawing raised $1,600, which was split between the winner and the Canyon Lake Family Matters Club.

As a non-profit organization, all of the proceeds from the Car Show are donated to various groups and causes in and outside of Canyon Lake. Since 2011, the Car Show has raised more than $56,000 for such organizations as the Canyon Lake Veterans Memorial, Progeria Research Foundation, Oak Grove Center in Murrieta, Canyon Lake Emergency Preparedness Committee, Canyon Lake Fire Station 60, Canyon Lake Little League, Brett Downey Safety Foundation, Lamb’s Fellowship and Elsinore Middle School, to name a few.
