Forbes Motor Show returns

Roll up, rollup it's returning: the Forbes Motor Show will be back on Sunday 5 October.

South Circle Oval will once again be the venue for the 15th annual long weekend show.

It's open to cars and motorbike, trucks and tractors, vintage machinery and boats, with trophies for a whole range of classes.

There are about 30 trophies up for grabs at the show, says Ian 'Bart' Bartholomaeus from the organising committee, and entrants can just register on the day - just speak to the friendly volunteers and they'll direct you.

You can display your vehicle for free, or enter the competition for $15.

The show is then open to visitors from 10am to about 2pm, and Bart encourages people to come on down and enjoy.

There'll be food and drink stalls as well as displays, and of course the chance to not only view some stunning vehicles but to chat to their owners about them.

Organisers of Forbes Motor Show love to welcome both local vehicle enthusiasts and visiting car clubs to town for this event, and many have stories to tell of where they have found and how they have restored their vehicles.

There'll be DJ music throughout, and Forbes Fire and Rescue will have their truck on site.

"It's an easy day out - bring the kids, have a good look around, there's plenty to see," Bart said.
