The draw for the 2000 Plymouth Prowler will take place on Sept. 18.

The day is almost here for the Moose Jaw Shrine Club’s annual car draw — and this time around they plan to make it a little bit special.

The Shriners will be holding a show and shine, cruise and special concert event at Murray GM on Saturday, Sept. 18, featuring a performance by the UnCoolas before the draw later in the evening.

Up for grabs will be the 2000 Plymouth Prowler, with the bright yellow sports car having stood out as a feature at many events over the past year. And when you have a vehicle as special as that -- and the public looking forward to enjoying a fun event after a year and a half of pandemic concerns -- why not throw a heck of a shindig?

“We’re going to rock the night away,” said Aaron Ruston with the Moose Jaw Shrine Club. “Too many things are just plain and simple, you have to have something a little bit different and we just want people to come out and have a great time… It might be one of the last car shows of the season, so we just want to make it a big one. Murray GM has been good enough to allow us to set up there, and we’re looking forward to a fun night.”

Everything kicks off at 6:30 p.m. with the Show and ‘Shrine’ at the dealership, a cruise through the city and the UnCoolas taking the stage later in the evening. Tickets will be drawn for the Prowler, second and third prizes and the 50/50 draw at 11 p.m.

The vintage car raffle is the third of its kind for the Shriners, and after going to show-and-shine format last year due to the ongoing pandemic, it seemed like a perfect fit now that things are open again. And Ruston is hoping to see a solid crowd out and about enjoying themselves.

“If we could get 300 or 400 people, it would be awesome,” Ruston said. “Just to party the night away, and all for a great cause, too. And wouldn’t it be cool if someone who was there won the car? That would be sweet.”

Tickets are still available at $20 each for the Prowler as well as the $2,000 second prize and $1,000 third prize. Tickets for the 50/50 and a $62,500 payout are available for $5 each. You can message the Shriner Facebook page, visit Heritage Insurance, Family Pawn & Second Hand Store, Murray GM Moose Jaw, contact any Moose Jaw Shrine Club members or give the club a call at 1-833-622-1266 to make a purchase.

All proceeds from the draw will go towards the many, many projects supporting children the local Shriners are involved in every year.

“Regardless if someone wins or not, the kids are winning, and that’s what it’s all about.,” Ruston said. “It all goes back to Moose Jaw Shrine Club projects, there’s such a wide array of things we try and do and this all helps us with those projects.”
