Plaza car show to support families

Volunteers are running a Horsham Plaza Father’s Day Car Show to raise money to support Wimmera families dealing with childhood cancer.

The Wimmera Against Cancer in Kids, WACK, Sunday car show will be from 10am to 1pm on September 5.

Organisers are welcoming car and motorcycle enthusiasts as well as trade-stand operators.

WACK volunteer Simon Clark said he was excited to run the car show after cancellation of an annual May Park event earlier in the year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

He said enthusiasts were always excited to show off their vehicles and ‘talk the talk’ with like-minded owners.

Vehicle owners can set up their vehicles in the plaza’s western car park before 9.30am on the day, until 1pm. People can display their vehicles for a $10 donation.

Organisers hope to make the Father’s Day Car Show an annual event.

The public is invited to attend by gold coin donation. Trade stands are also welcome by donation, with no bookings necessary.

Kalkee Community Hub will operate a barbecue on the day.

Horsham Plaza last presented a Sunday car show in its car park in 2010, attracting an ‘overwhelming’ response.
