Entries roll in for Show ‘n’ Shine

Fascinating display: Leongatha South’s Mitchell Landry discussed his family’s display with Leongatha’s Rob Edwards at the Leongatha Show ‘n’ Shine on Sunday.

AROUND 250 entries made up the 10^th annual Leongatha Show ‘n’ Shine on Sunday.

Coordinator and Leongatha Rotarian Jim McNiven said the entries far exceeded expectation, considering the hot temperatures over the weekend.

“The weather and nearby fires caused some uncertainty, but we had just about as many entries as ever,” Mr McNiven said.

“It was great to have the emergency services out to support us and the swap meet was very popular throughout the morning.”

Mr McNiven was pleased to see many top quality makes and models journeying out to the Leongatha Velodrome.

“I’d say quite a few of the displays were of world standard. Most of the entries were local, which is just fantastic,” he said.

“It was good to see a good crowd come out to have a look and we had plenty of food options for everyone this year. We had around 14 food vendors and we would absolutely ask them back again next year.”

Mr McNiven said all proceeds from the well supported event will go to charities supported locally, nationally and internationally by the Leongatha Rotary Club.

He thanked his fellow Rotarians for ensuring the success of the event.

“The Rotarians came together and everyone stepped up to different jobs. It was a great event,” he said.

Lots of fun: Leongatha’s Tatianah Dumea enjoyed Ray Pearson’s Harley Davidson display at the Leongatha Show ‘n’ Shine on Sunday.

Top display: Leongatha Show ‘N’ Shine coordinator Jim McNiven checked out Leongatha’s Stuart Slee’s ’59 Edsel Ranger. This car is one of only two known in Australia and belonged to the late Vin Slee.
