2nd Annual Sand hills Casino Motorcycle Show & Shine is a Huge Hit!!


There was nearly a constant roar and rumble on the stretch of Highway 5 south of Carberry as the bikers made their way to Sand Hills Casino for the second annual Motorcycle Show and Shine. The weather was near perfect which made for a great turnout to this event!

We would like to introduce you to this gorgeous 1975 Shovel Chopper that is the official best-in-show winner! The detail on this bike is astounding. Simply amazing! Congratulations to Brent Law of Iron Craft! Who spent hundreds of hours designing and welding the bike to his liking. This truly is a one-of-a-kind bike! One of the things judges were looking for was originality, you couldn't get a more unique looking bike. In fact, this was the only custom-welded chopper on the lot out of nearly 700 bikes! There were 6 random cash prize winners who each received $200.00.

Honourable mentions went to Rick Warkentin who brought his Custom 1942 Harley Davidson 45ci Flathead, 2000 Heritage Softail (Nicole Dube is the owner. She was the winner in last years's Show & Shine at Sand Hills), and Duane Ennes who brought his 2012 Harley Davidson Road King.

 

The numbers this year exceeded last year's stats from the event! In 2022 675 bikes were registered and just over 900 barbecued burgers were served. The results of the 2023 show: 695 Bikes, and 922 barbecues served. A huge thanks to all who made it out!

 

There were two main reasons to celebrate this successful event as the WHRA marked its 40th Anniversary! 25-30 members of the WHRA were on hand to volunteer and make sure the event ran smoothly throughout the day.
