HUNDREDS of cars and motor bikes will make their way to Healesville on Sunday 16 March for the eighth annual Mountain District Car and Bike Show.
The show, organised by Monbulk couple Greg and Jacqueline Sheppard, has become a must-do not only for car and bike enthusiasts, but for the wider community who enjoy the family atmosphere, kids’ entertainment, live music and food.
The event has developed as a regular catch-up day for locals, but also brings visitors to Healesville from all around the state.
Among the vehicles that regularly go on show are magnificently restored cars from across a range of eras to battle-scarred trucks and cars that are a platform for outstanding artwork.
Over the past seven years, the show has raised more than $55,000 for local charitable organisations and Greg and Jacqueline say they are looking forward to adding to that amount this year.
Gates open at the Don Road Sporting Complex at 10am. Phone Greg or Jacqueline on 9737 2129 for more information.
