Draggins Rod & Custom 2021 Car Show Cancelled
Our club members are disappointed to announce that our car show this year will be cancelled. To follow the Provincial Guidlines and to keep our participants, exhibitors, attendees, volunteers and members safe we made the final decision to cancel the show. The show requires many hours of planning, preparation, and communication and we started this work in October, hoping that the Covid 19 virus would be under control before this spring. January would be the month for registration and finalizing much of the show so the decision needed to be made at this time.
A big Thank You to all our past exhibitors, participants, sponsors, volunteers and attendees for making our past 59 shows successful which then allowed us to continue to donate all the profits to support Camp Easter Seal at Manitou Springs. Here is a link if you wish to support this cause.
We look forward to having our 60th Annual Car show in 2022 and seeing everyone then.
History of the Draggins Rod & Custom Car Club
Early in 1957 informal meetings started taking place regarding the forming of a car club in Saskatoon. Discussions revolved around what kind of a car club it should be and to choose a name. In the fall of 1957, after returning from their first car show in Edmonton, Alberta seven car enthusiasts formed a club to further their hobby.
On October 3rd, 1957, the first recorded meeting of the Draggins Car Club was held...
