BIG trucks are set to draw big crowds for the Caroline Springs Lion Club’s annual Truck Show and Family Fun Day.
The annual event aims to raise money for the Royal Children’s Hospital Good Friday Appeal.
The community event will be held at the car park of Bunnings Caroline Springs on 13 April, with both organisations doing their bit to help raise funds for the Good Friday Appeal.
Lions club committee chairman Dave Younger said he hoped the event would get bigger and better each year.
“We want to raise as much money as we can for the Good Friday Appeal to ensure that the Royal Children’s Hospital can continue doing the great work that they do,” Mr Younger said.
“And if anyone in our community should need them, that they have the equipment to do their job to save the lives of the children,” he said.
Mr Younger, who is a truck driver himself, said they expected 30 trucks to be on display at the show.
He said crowds could look forward to seeing big prime movers and an array of working trucks that could pass as show trucks.
Last year the event raised over $6500 for the Good Friday Appeal and Mr Younger said they hoped to raise more each year.
The Lions club is still looking for sponsors and donations to help with the raffles and auctions on the day.
“We would just love to see as many people from the area and around show up to the event and have a great day,” he said.
