The annual Power Up Show, Shine and Swap Meet attracted a large range vehicles – and even a few bikes and caravans – to Nanango on Sunday.
The event is organised as a fundraiser by the not-for-profit Nanango Sporting Association, whose members include the groups which use the Alan Downie Sports Fields in Burnett Street: the Nanango Kennel Club, Nanango Cricket Club and Nanango Panthers Soccer Club.
There was live music, courtesy of local singer Morgan, and trophies voted on by the public.
The “Best In Show” trophy was awarded to Graeme Williams, from Kingaroy, for his 1959 green Chevrolet.
Ten trophies were presented to the next 10 highest voted entries present at the prize-giving.
The crowd’s favourite vehicles (not in order) were: 1969 Chevrolet Camaro, EJ Holden ute, 1937 Chevrolet, Holden Torana XU1, 1970 Chevrolet Corvette, 1975 Torana, 1969 Chevrolet Corvette, HX Holden (and yes, there were more marques than GM present), a 1966 Ford Mustang and a 1971 Ford Falcon.
A prize was also presented to the most popular community stall, which was won by the Nanango Community Centre.
The trophies were presented by South Burnett Mayor Kathy Duff, Cr Linda Little, Cr Jane Erkens, and Hannah Page and “Gyro” Bainbridge from the Nanango Sporting Association.
