The annual 亚洲天堂 Lake Show and Shine brought together 58 vehicles and dozens of spectators for a sunny weekend of chrome, community, and classic car pride.
Hosted by the 亚洲天堂 Lake Car Club on the weekend of June 21 and 22, the event began with a sold-out Dinner Cruise to the Tatalrose Corner Store, where participants enjoyed laughter, conversation, and polished rides. Attendees came from across northern B.C., including Terrace, Prince George, Topley, Houston, Vanderhoof, and as far as Dawson Creek.

The main event featured a wide variety of vehicles on display in the park, with the sunny weather contributing to the warm atmosphere.
