As the dust settled and the rumble of big engines subsided into the distance last Sunday afternoon, members of the Castlemaine Rotary Club were left both exhausted and relieved.
Although far from the full two-day program usually offered, the 33rd annual Castlemaine Rotary Truck Show has been labelled an outstanding success.
Truck Show director Kerry Anderson said that up until six weeks ago they weren’t sure that they could hold the show.
“Then the big question was, would anyone come to a low-key event?” she said.
“Despite the uncertain lead-up, this year exceeded all our expectations,” confirmed Club President, Lyn Ellery.
“The public and trucking industry showed us how happy they were to be able to come out and attend. We were so grateful for the support of our Rotarians, the Lion’s club and other volunteers who worked tirelessly to cater for the unexpected crowds.” See the Mail for the full story and more images from the event.
