<strong>Selwyn</strong> Motor Fest<br />
on this Sunday<br />
On Sunday, Rolleston will be hosting a<br />
massive motoring show and family fun day<br />
out.<br />
This is the third time the <strong>Selwyn</strong> Motor Fest<br />
and Family Fun Day has been held, thanks<br />
to well-known local firm McLenaghan<br />
Contracting as main sponsors, and<br />
supporting sponsors Stadium Finance and<br />
Repco.<br />
“I’d like to thank McLenaghan for coming<br />
on board as main sponsors this year. I’d<br />
also like to congratulate them on celebrating<br />
thirty years in business and service to<br />
the <strong>Selwyn</strong> district,” says organiser John<br />
Winchester.<br />
Considerable hours have been put in by<br />
many people to ensure this year’s event<br />
will be a great day for everyone. All money<br />
raised will be donated to a selection of<br />
deserving community projects including<br />
Canbreathe, an educational arm of the<br />
Asthma Society.<br />
Over the 12.5 hectares of event site, there<br />
will be displays with 500-1,000 vehicles<br />
expected on the day, along with over 30<br />
diverse market and food stalls, live music,<br />
children’s entertainment, prizes, raffles and<br />
auctions.<br />
Vehicles will include vintage and classic<br />
through to muscle cars, trucks, tractors and<br />
motorbikes, as well as stationary motors.<br />
In the children’s zone there will be bouncy<br />
castles, mini jeep rides, clowns, face<br />
painting and more. The <strong>Selwyn</strong> School of<br />
Dance will also be running activities, bound<br />
to keep the youngsters occupied giving the<br />
adults space to browse the many vehicles<br />
on display or relax while listening to the<br />
band.<br />
The New Zealand Defence Force, St John<br />
and the New Zealand Fire Service will also<br />
have displays with the latter operating a<br />
children’s maze.<br />
For those displaying their vehicles, there will<br />
be a chance to win a prize as well as meet<br />
other car enthusiasts.<br />
Entry tickets and those for display vehicles<br />
can be purchased through the Internet at:<br />

child; $10 per family.<br />

fundraiser as a sponsor, by donating money<br />
