The first annual Cruisin' to the Pines Show n Shine in downtown Nipawin was a huge success for its innagural year. A joint venture by the Town of Nipawin Economic Development & Tourism Department and the Total Chaos Car Club of Nipawin, the show has been months in the making and did not disappoint the numerous eventgoers who turned out to see more than 50 entries from Nipawin and area, and as far away as Saskatoon. Prizes were awarded for cars older than 1974 as well as prizes for post-1974 cars. People's and competitor's choice prizes were also awarded as well as a set of door prizes.

The organizers would like to thank the major sponsor CJVR FM & CK 750, and the gold award sponsors CJ's Furniture Centre, Lakewood GM, Nipawin Chrysler Dodge, and the Pineland Co-op Food Store. Also, thanks must be extended to the entry and door prize sponsors:
