The 28th annual car show drew about 200 entrants and thousands of visitors to the second virtual show.
The virtual Gravenhurst Car Show, sponsored by Gravenhurst Canadian Tire, wrapped up
last week after giving guests seven days to go online, view the classic automobiles and
cast their votes for the best of the best. In the end, we had over 20,000 page views,
almost 3000 visitors including some from as far away as including 355 from the United
States, plus individual votes from places like Chile, Ukraine and Mexico.
“While we all wish the show could have been in person, we were happy to have a way
to show off these amazing cars,” says Sandy Lockhart, managing director of the
Gravenhurst Chamber which coordinates the annual car show. “We’d like to thank all of
those who submitted their cars and told their stories.”

Every year donations collected at the Car Show help fund a bursary for a Gravenhurst
High School Student going into the automotive field, and this year is no exception.
Enough money was donated by virtual car show entrants that organizers can once again
offer the bursary.
The Chamber extends a huge thank you to all the sponsors who helped make the show
come together, including Canadian Tire Gravenhurst, Wayne’s Tire Discounter, Parry
Sound Muskoka Community Network, Hagerty Insurance and Muskoka411.
Expect the Gravenhurst Car Show to be back at beautiful Gull Lake Park in 2021 on
Saturday, June 19.
