LANTZ: For the fifth year in a row, the community of East Hants did a Ritchie in helping to give back to the community.

More than 100 vehicles registered and participated in the annual Ritchie Gilby Memorial Car Show on June 20. It took place under mainly sunny skies at the East Hants Sportsplex in Lantz.

The event, put on by the Gilby family, raises money to give back to community groups, help people in the East Hants community, special projects, hockey teams, and give out bursaries to graduating students at Hants East Rural High and more among their initiatives.

It honours local legend, the late Ritchie Gilby, who was a friend to many in the area.

There was a cash BBQ; t-shirts; antique cars; music; and plenty of family fun.

Organizer Suzanne Gilby, spoke to The Laker News about keeping Ritchie’s legacy going with the car show and giving back to the community. (Healey photo)
