The Woodstock Auto Expo and Show and Shine roared back to life on Sunday, Oct. 12, drawing hundreds of visitors to the Woodstock Fairgrounds for a full day celebrating all things automotive. Running from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., the event filled the Oxford Auditorium and its surrounding outdoor space with vendors, displays, and classic car showcases. More than 250 vendors set up shop, offering a diverse selection of automotive parts, accessories, tools, signage, and memorabilia. Collectors browsed rows of diecast cars and trucks, vintage gas station artifacts, and books chronicling the golden age of motoring. Car enthusiasts admired gleaming vehicles in the Show and Shine area, while families enjoyed the friendly, community atmosphere that has made this event a local favourite. With its combination of nostalgia, craftsmanship, and community spirit, the Woodstock Auto Expo and Show and Shine once again demonstrated why it remains one of the region’s premier automotive gatherings.
