ABOUT THE CLUB

The Prospectors Car Club was started in Quesnel in 1997 to promote interest in classic and modified cars, trucks and motorcycles. From a charter membership of six (6), the club has grown to about 75 members today. Vehicle ownership is not a prerequisite for membership, you only need a love for cars to be welcome.

Quesnel is a community of some 25,000 people, located in Northern British Columbia in the historic Cariboo region. Quesnel is referred to as the Gold Pan City, a reference to the Gold Rush days of the 1860s when Quesnel was the gateway to the Cariboo Goldfields of Wells, Barkerville, Likely, and Quesnelle Forks. Quesnel is 450 miles north of Vancouver, right on hwy 97 N.

Each year the Prospectors Car Club hosts the Goldpan Steak-out on the 2^nd last weekend in August. On the Friday evening from 5-7 pm, there will be registration, complete with burgers and beverages at a prechosen location.

Saturday morning from 10 am to 11 am, final registration will be held at the Maple Park Mall parking lot, before setting out on a rod run at 12 noon. The route will be taking you out and about, ending up back for lunch. A short break is given before the evening activities begin at a chosen catering facility. The evenings event begins at 6 pm with cocktails, and the dinner served at 7 pm, plus entertainment and dancing to follow. (no minors allowed)

On Sunday morning, it is the Show & Shine, is held in Lebourdais Park on the grass. Gates open at 7:30, with the show, judging, with food and refreshment from 10-3, followed by award presentation and goodbyes for the weekend.

Hope to see everyone out for a good time. Sunshine will be guaranteed by the car club president, Cory Delves, 250 255-5025.
