Show hits top gear to raise funds

28 Jan, 2012 03:00 AM
PETER Brock's 2003 Monaro is expected to be a big draw for Holden fans at the Heart Kids Car and Bike Show.

However, there will be something for all car and bike aficionados, adults and children at the show, to be held at Josef Chromy Wines on Sunday, February 5 from 9am to 3pm.

Heart Kids North Tasmania co-ordinator Kylie Smith said the event would feature a diverse range of cars and bikes.

``We have about 400-plus cars coming out - at least 10 coming from Melbourne and New South Wales and Queensland, and we have also got some Harleys coming from Melbourne,'' she said.

``Some of them go back to the 1940s and 1950s, all the way up to the 1970s - which is the era for the hotted-up muscle car - but it is open to everyone, no matter what sort of car they have.''

Mrs Smith said there would be food, entertainment and activities to keep everyone in the family occupied.

``We've got a mechanical bull ride, a mechanical surf board ride, jumping castles, face-painting, wood-fired pizzas, coffee, local beer and wine and about six live bands from Launceston,'' she said.

Mrs Smith said funds raised would go to Heart Kids Tasmania, a non-profit charity supporting families of children with heart disease.
