The annual Power Up Show, Shine and Swap Meet at Nanango has given another “powerful” boost to the not-for-profit Nanango Sporting Association.<\/p>\n

The association represents the groups which use the Alan Downie Sports Fields, ie. the Nanango Kennel Club, Nanango Cricket Club and Nanango Panthers Soccer Club.<\/p>\n

There are a number of regular show’n’shine events held in the South Burnett but Power Up is always one of the most popular.<\/p>\n

Profits go towards maintaining the grounds and facilities in Burnett Street.<\/p>\n

Cars and motorbikes came from across the South Burnett – and further afield – to compete for a range of trophies (see below) on Sunday, July 13.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This year, a fundraising raffle was also organised by the South Burnett Fun Flyers club to raise funds for the McGrath Foundation.<\/p>\n

There was live music and a coffee van as well as the canteen and a sausage sizzle manned by Kennel Club volunteers.<\/p>\n

Power Up is sponsored by the Tarong Power Stations and Meandu Mine, the South Burnett Regional Council, Stanwell and Shannons Insurance.<\/p>\n
