Truck show roars into Wellsford

Fleets of trucks, tractors and classic cars will be making their way to Wellsford on Sunday, February 24 for the Roaring Truck Show at Centennial Park.

The annual Wellsford Lions fundraiser attracts up to 150 big rigs, new and old, together with classic cars and a vintage machinery display.

There will be live music on the day, plus trade stalls and displays, and the always popular Lions food tent, with home-made mussel fritters, cold drinks and coffee from Rise & Grind in Mangawhai.

The event usually raises around $10,000 for a local good cause, and this year all proceeds from the gold coin entry, truckers’ entry fees, auction and raffles will be going to the Auckland Rescue Helicopter Trust.

Wellsford Lions organisers say the event is a great chance for the trucking fraternity to get together and show off their vehicles, while making a great spectacle for the general public.

Gates open at 10am, all welcome.
