THE Wallan Classic Vehicle Club is gearing up for its upcoming Show ‘n’ Shine and Swap Meet, set to be at Wallan Secondary College for the first time.
Scheduled for September 24, the club is expecting more than 300 classic cars of all shapes and sizes along with food trucks and coffee vans.
Club president Kerry Walton said he was excited for the upcoming event.
“It’s just going to be a great event, and it’s the first time ever that it’s going to be at the secondary college so we’re very excited with that. The school’s very positive about it,” he said.
“We just hope it’s going to be a beautiful day and we hope everyone will come down and check out the cars.”
The event was previously at Wallan’s Greenhill Reserve, however issues with weather and the bottom oval being waterlogged made planning difficult.
Wallan Classic Vehicle Club approached the college to use its sporting fields for this year’s show, which was agreed upon.
Wallan Secondary College principal Michael Ritchie said the event would mean a lot for the school and be a worthwhile community event.
“We’re all about how we can work with the community and enhance community vibe and feel, so we’re really keen to get involved,” he said.
“It’s the middle weekend of the school holidays, so it’s an opportunity for those that are around in the area to come down, have a look and maybe pick up a part or two for their own cars.”
Public entry on the day will be open from 9am to 3pm and cost is $5 per person, with children under 16 and show vehicles entering for free.
Show vehicle entry will be open from 8am to 10am, with swap meet sites available for $30. For swap meet enquiries, contact Kenny on 0466 061 764.
For all show enquiries, contact Mr Walton on 0417 766 555.
