Katrina Platt, who has led the popular show for 10 years, says the trust will support cultural, sporting and educational causes in the Hurunui District with the funds raised.
This will include schools, clubs and charitable groups, she says.
Planning for the 10th anniversary of the show on Father’s Day, Sunday, September 6, at the Amberley Domain is well under way.
It will be sticking to its popular formula of ‘‘if it has wheels, and you love it, bring it along’’.
Katrina says the event is now well established, with many repeat exhibitors turning out.
‘‘They say it’s a fun day out in the country for car enthusiasts and a great way to treat dad on Father’s Day,’’ she says.
Cars turning up to Rock’n’Wheels do not have to have a pedigree, but many exhibitors have stories to tell about their beloved vehicle, from how they came by it, plans for its restoration, or how long it took them to bring it back to its former glory.
A total of 104 vehicles turned out to the first event. It has since grown, with up to 500 vehicles often turning out in recent years.
Katrina says she and her team are looking forward to working with like-minded groups and individuals to ensure that Rock’n’Wheels continues in the future.
