Press Conference Scheduled for May 10, 2013

Good afternoon Regina!!

We are so very excited to see how well things are coming along in the planning stages for the 2013 Queen City Cruise In. It is truly hard to believe that we are only two months away from this big event! Thanks to the hard work of our dedicated team of volunteers, the 2nd Annual Queen City Cruise In promises to be a historic event, and the future is looking even brighter!

We have updated the Event Schedule page to include the Public Information Sheet that we distributed at the 47th Annual Majestics Car Show, as part of the Kings Park Speedway display. We are very excited to announce that we have been selected to display at the upcoming Discover Saskatchewan! Trade Show, taking place on May 10 & 11, 2013 at the Agribition Building at Evraz Place. We will be very proudly displaying alongside Wickid Motorsports, and their display for their 1st ever Motorsports Extravaganza! You haven't heard of either of these? Well, I recommend checking them both out on Facebook! Be sure to stop by our booths and say "Hey" and find out all about Prairie Soul Productions Inc. and the Queen City Cruise In.  

Oh, and if you go and "Like" our Facebook page, along with the Discover Saskatchewan! Facebook page, there might just be a free ticket or two in it for you!

As a bit of a teaser, you will find a photo of the World's Only Bio-Diesel Jet Car, based out of Humboldt, Saskatchewan, on our Facebook and Twitter pages! And below is a sneak peak at our new business cards that should be ready to distribute next weekend!

Have a great Regina day everyone!

Finalizing Details - Announcement expected very soon!

Good afternoon Regina! 

As you may have noticed above, we have updated the banner on this website. It is our hope to have a completely revamped website in time for the launch of the promotion of the event beginning in May.

We are currently working on finalizing the finer details of the 2013 Queen City Cruise In, and should be able to make an official announcement very soon. We have confimed locations of all portions of the event, confirmed our participant partners, and are now working to finalize the details of event times and attractions. Thank you so much to our great volunteers who have proudly come on board to help make this event as successful as possible, without your help, this event would not be possible!!

It is our hope to hold a Press Conference about the full details of the event within the next few weeks. 
Stay tuned!! We promise it will be worth the wait!

Big Things Are Coming!

Our great, growing, team at Prairie Soul Productions Inc. are working non-stop to ensure that we bring you the best of the best for 2013, and we promise you, this will be an event like no other in Regina's history. Three days of non-stop motorsports celebrations!! Nothing but pure, raw, unadulterated horsepower, and the people that make it happen. If you think the Queen City Cruise In is "just" a Car Show, you couldn't be any further from the truth!!!

We can't reveal too much information yet, but soon, you will find out just what we mean, when we say this year is going to be BIG. Soon, Regina, you will understand just why we've labelled this as an "event" and not "just" a Car Show. Soon, Regina, you will understand just why the automobile and the motorsports industry has been such a rich part of Regina's history, and more importantly, it's future. Soon, Regina, you will learn what exactly the Night of Fire at Kings Park Speedway is all about.

Soon, Regina, soon. 
We promise. It...will...be...worth...the...wait!!!

Saturday Events Being Reworked

After some discussion and great feedback, we are reworking the events on the Saturday a bit, in order to ensure the participants get as much involvement in the weekend events as possible. There was some concern expressed about the gravel road leading out to Kings Park Speedway. So, with that said, even though it's only about a kilometre or two of gravel, to accomodate those that don't wish to take their pride and joy on the dirt road, we will be having the Show and Shine with Burnout Contest, Stereo Competition and Monster Truck Rides, elsewhere in the City, and then a cruise out to Kings Park around 2 or 3pm (Location and Time to be confirmed) for those that want to partake in the Street Car Challenge. If we are unable to have the burnout contest in the City, we will also be holding the burnout contest at Kings Park Speedway that day.

We appreciate the feedback and are willing to work in a way that is advantageous for everyone involved!

Titan Automotive Group $5,000 Non-Profit Challenge!

Good afternoon Regina!!!

As you may or may not already know, I have the pleasure of being president of a brand new Non-Profit Corporation based here in Regina, Saskatchewan, by the name of Prairie Soul Productions Inc. We at Prairie Soul are dedicated to giving back to our great community, and are very proud to be assisting the Chili for Children Program this year for our 2nd Annual Queen City Cruise In. In future years, we hope to be in a financial position to give to even more local charities, with the focus on remaining local. We believe strongly in supporting local businesses when we host events, and supporting local charities because there are many great folks in Regina that could really use the extra assistance, through a variety of existing local charities.

Keeping this in mind, we are participating in the Titan Automotive $5,000 Non-Profit Challenge!! These great folks have been gracious enough to put up to $5,000 as a total prize for a variety of Non-Profits, and we are very proud to be one of the contestants. The challenge is very easy; all you have to do is click this link, http://bit.ly/XJkKep, read our description and video (optional) and click the "VOTE" button. That's it!! That easy. And, for me, the best part of this challenge is, the more total votes cast for all entries, the higher the total payout that Titan Automotive Group is going to give out. However, in order to qualify for a portion of the payout, a contestant must receive at least 100 votes, and then they get a portion of the total payout, depending on their percentage of votes, so please share with your friends and family.

Unfortunately, we, at Prairie Soul, are challenged in this City in terms of receiving any public funding, thanks to certain individuals being in high-ranking positions in this City (and provincial crowns now). BUT, the great thing is, we don't need no stinking public funding to make our non-profit a true success story!! We have great folks that have been partnering up with us like crazy, and it's thanks to great local businesses like Titan Automotive Group that we can continue making great events happen in Regina, without a sole focus on making a profit.

When asked why I chose to make Prairie Soul Productions Inc. a non-profit, the answer is simple really, and probably not one you will believe or expect from someone that honestly doesn't make that much money. I want to run a successful business, where I can do what I love, and be able to make a decent living. I don't want or need to make a fortune doing it, and as such, I have chosen to make it a Non-Profit Corporation, which gives back to it's community in so many great ways. The only real difference between a For-Profit and a Non-Profit, is that a Non-Profit simply reinvests (and donates) it's end of the year profits into the company and community. It still can operate like a regular business, paying salaries, employing great people, all that. It's just a personal choice that I made so that there could never be any confusion as to why my company does what it does, and no possible "conflict of interests" like certain other politicians in our great City.



Thank you for your time, and PLEASE do share this with everyone you know!! This is a very good cause, and we would appreciate all the support you can give us.

Have a GRREEAT Regina Day!!
