Shriners’ MOMentum Car Cruise a huge hit

Close to 150 vehicles of all stripes, sizes and vintages take part in parade past local retirement homes on Mother’s Day Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express

The Moose Jaw Shrine Club MOMentum Mother’s Day Cruise has proven to be a huge hit.

Close to 150 vehicles ranging from vintage Model T-era buggies to big-block 1960’s muscle cars to 600-horsepower modern behemoths took part in the event on Sunday afternoon, gathering in the Town ‘N’ Country Mall parking lot before heading out for a tour of the city. That jaunt took the parade to four seniors retirement homes in the community as a way to thank all the moms and lades in our lives in an era where visiting isn’t always the safest or most practical thing.

The cruise was led off by Moose Jaw city councillor Heather Eby in the 2000 Mellow Yellow Plymouth Prowler the organization is raffling off for their always popular 2021 car raffle.

Here’s a sampling of some of sights from the day!

If it was a race to the finish, this guy would have had a decent chance at top spot...

Might not look like much, but that’s 600 horsepower looking back out at you...
