A charity car and motorcycle show will drive into Lara on Sunday for a day of motoring fun to raisie funds for a great cause.
Lara’s Pirra Homestead at 108 Windermere Road will host the annual Lara Lions Car Show from 9am to 1pm on October 27, with a portion of the money raised donated to homeless service The Outpost.
Lions Club of Lara member Maryanne Mullahy said the show was a “wonderful event” that started in 2013 and had only missed a few years since then due to lockdowns and weather.
“It’s a great opportunity to connect with people in the community and have a good day out…at the amazing Pirra Homestead, which is such a stunning place,” she said.
“We do a different charity partner every year, and this year, we’ve decided to go with The Outpost, so a third of the profits will go towards them.
“The Outpost is an amazing organisation, so 365 days of the year, they’re giving out dinners to anyone who’s in need of it, and they do such wonderful things for the community.
“Another third goes towards running the event again next year and then the other third goes towards the Lions Club of Lara to do amazing things in the community.”
Awards will also be presented to vehicles at the event across the categories of president’s award (best in show), exhibitors’ choice, people’s choice, and best bike.
The event is family-friendly and will feature different makes and models of cars and motorcycles, with a $2 cost of entry for general spectators and free for children under 14.
