The Kingaroy Scouts’ 12th annual car show attracted more than 60 entries and at least 200 spectators by mid-morning on Saturday.
The show, which is held in the grounds of the Scouts’ den in James Street, is the group’s major annual fundraiser.
District Badge Secretary Jenny Behm said the money raised help to run the scouts for another year as well as carry out improvements to the Den and grounds.
Eighteen prizes, all donated by Kingaroy businesses, were distributed to entries in the various car and bike categories.
As well as the large display of cars and bikes, visitors also had the opportunity to browse stalls, listen to live music and watch Queensland Fire and Emergency Services’ presentations, including a very popular demonstration showing how firefighters extract an injured person from a wrecked motor vehicle using hydraulic rescue tools.
