Engines will roar as cars and motorcycles roll into Lara on Sunday during an annual show to help raise money for charity.
The grounds of Pirra Homestead will host all makes and models of cars and motorcycles for the Lara Lions Club Car Show, with money raised from the event donated to the Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute.
Car show coordinator John Wilson said the event had been running for 11 years to support charities that were important to the community.
“I’m looking forward to going around and looking at the cars because there are some magnificent cars that will be there,” he said.
“I’ve got a 1965 XM Falcon; it’s an old one, but it doesn’t stand up to some of the magnificent items that we get in there, and people like to look under the hood.
“We know that the Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute is doing research into child heart disease and heart failure, and it’s a worthwhile charity, so that’s where the money will go.”
Lara Lions Club Car Show will be held on Sunday 26 October, with gates opening for car exhibitors from 8am to 10am and from 10am for general spectators.
Trophies will be awarded during the event for the people’s choice, best in show, best club and best motorcycle awards.
The award presentation will be held at noon, with face painting, kids activities, food, drink and a raffle also available during the day.
Tickets are $10 for exhibitors, $5 for spectators and free for children under 14 years old, with money raised by ticket sales donated to charity.
