That increased attendance was due to the great support your newspaper gave to support this unique annual event.
The many exhibitors and visitors drew a financial benefit to the Hastings and helped showcase the area. We have received reports that many exhibitors will be back for the 2018 Show. Some statistics for interest:-
Exhibits included approximately 170 trucks, 46 tractors, 19 motor bikes, 42 cars and some 30 engines including 2 steam engines--also all available other space was occupied by trade and swap sites.
Our club comprises a small membership intent on the restoration, preservation and display of old vehicles and machinery. But we also give back to our community and to this end, some $15,000 was made available to local charities and community groups, either through participation in the show or as a donor recipient from the 2017 show.
So all in all a great result for our club and our community.
