A truckload of fun

Lockington Living Heritage Complex president Peter Bongiovanni said everyone involved was happy with how it went.

“It was the first time so we didn’t know how it was going to go, but we’re all really happy,” he said.

“All the exhibitors were extremely happy with the way we did everything and most of them want to come back next year.

“We’ve made a lot of inroads and learnt a lot from it.”

About 30 trucks and a few cars and motorcycles were entered into the show.

Exhibitors gathered from surrounding areas and beyond to attend the show with participants from Bendigo, Heathcote, Colleambally, Shepparton, Denilliquin and Rochester.

The event was also well supported by the Echuca Truck Club, which had a few trucks on display.

There was also entertainment on the day by district blues band the Locky Ukers.

After a successful show, the group at the Lockington Living Heritage Complex is already looking at possibly hosting another display next year.
