A bunch of rock’n’rollers (and revheads) from Raising Hell In Maidenwell rolled up to the Mel’s Diner in Kingaroy on Saturday<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

July 8, 2018<\/strong><\/p>\n

Drizzle and grey skies on Saturday morning cut back the number of participants in the ninth annual Raising Hell In Maidenwell weekend but there were still enough cars – and rock’n’roll – for those who did turn up to have fun.<\/p>\n

Some of the regular participants turned up in their street vehicles – leaving their hot rods safely garaged at home – but they didn’t want to miss out on the weekend action.<\/p>\n

A rod run was held on Saturday from Maidenwell to Kingaroy, stopping for lunch at the rock-n-roll themed Mel’s Diner in Alford Street.<\/p>\n

Ironically, the sun came out on Saturday afternoon which would have made the afternoon perfect for a show’n’shine.<\/p>\n

Instead, people sat around campfire swapping stories, enjoying a few drinks and getting ready for the evening’s entertainment.<\/p>\n

On Saturday night, the visitors enjoyed a “peep”-on-the-spit (pig \/ beef \/ sheep) , rock’n’roll dancing and live music at the Maidenwell Hotel.<\/p>\n

“A lot of campers turned up for the weekend,” Terry Mackrell, from the South Burnett Gas Guzzlers, said.<\/p>\n

“But we were way down on numbers however we attribute that to the weather.”<\/p>\n
