West Ferris Secondary School revving up for 2nd annual car show
West Ferris Secondary School is excited to announce that it will be hosting the West Ferris Car Show on May 31, 2025.
The primary goal of this fundraising car show is to acquire new tools and equipment for the school’s technology classes while actively engaging students in a hands-on learning experience. This event not only provides financial support but also fosters a sense of community and education among participants.
West Ferris student volunteers will take on the important role of judging the vehicles, utilizing criteria they have developed in class. This process allows them to apply their skills in a real-world setting. Additionally, they will have the opportunity to interact with car owners, enhancing their people skills while learning valuable information about vehicle maintenance and care.
Beyond the car judging, the dedicated student volunteers will oversee various engaging activities, including registration, a BBQ, a penny sale, a thrilling Hot Wheels race, face painting, and even pampering from the esthetics class offering nail painting and hand massages.
This year, there will be three incredible items in the silent auction: a beautifully crafted six-seater picnic table made by West Ferris construction students; and two stunning hand-made car-themed quilts generously donated by Melissa Steward.
The West Ferris Car Show will award 30 unique trophies, crafted by students from both the construction and manufacturing classes, celebrating the outstanding vehicles on display.
The goal of the West Ferris car show is to engage and inspire students while creating a successful community event that brings everyone together. At last year’s event, there was an impressive turnout with 197 registered cars, and optimism is high for an even larger crowd this year.
Attendance is free of charge, but donations to the North Bay Food Bank will be accepted. The rain date for the West Ferris Car Show is Saturday, June 7. Check the West Ferris Secondary School Car Show Facebook page for details.
