On June 22, 2024, the town of Carseland, Alberta, hosted its annual “Aggie Days” weekend event. Complementing the Aggie Days celebration was the local Lions Club Annual Show and Shine, which experienced significant growth thanks to a dedicated local resident. This individual's efforts expanded attendance nearly fourfold compared to previous years, creating a captivating experience for all.

The Carseland Lions Club has traditionally held its annual Show and Shine in conjunction with the town’s Aggie Days weekend. The event takes place in the Carseland Community Centre field, which typically hosted around thirty collector cars in past years. However, 2023 and 2024 saw a remarkable increase in attendance, with the number of vehicles rising to approximately eighty in 2023 and soaring to over 121 collector cars in 2024.
