Vintage rally celebrates with vibrant turnout

Organiser Beryl Marshall said the weekend exceeded expectations.

“It went really well, the weather was great and it was brilliant to see everyone out enjoying it,” she said.

All vehicles scheduled to attend made an appearance, with highlights including the Nash Ajax Touring and the John Deere Model D, both celebrating their 100th anniversaries.

Ms Marshall also took part in the event, driving her own 100-year-old Nash Ajax Touring.

The grand parades proved a crowd favourite, with vintage tractors and cars on full display.

“The parades were fantastic, everything throttled away, and the Hart Parr tractor was probably the noisiest on start-up,” she said.

Saturday night entertainment from the Locky Ukers also drew a large crowd.

“The room was chock-full, it was a great atmosphere,” Ms Marshall said.

Food provided by the heritage complex kitchen was another highlight, with more than 100 scones sold across the weekend.

Ms Marshall said the strong attendance and community involvement created a positive atmosphere throughout the event.

“We were really pleased with the turnout and the vibe across the weekend,” she said.

“It was great to see so many people come along and take an interest in the exhibits.”

The rally once again showcased Lockington’s strong community spirit and passion for preserving vintage machinery and history.
