The show will have a range of vintage and classic trucks, tractors, cars, farm machinery, stationery and miniature engines to see.

The event will kick off at the Lockington and District Living Heritage Complex Inc. on Saturday, April 26, from 9am and wrap up on Sunday, April 27, at 4pm.

Organiser Beryl Marshall has helped out with the event since 2021 and said she had seen it grow.

“I wasn’t involved at the first rally, but it has gone from half a paddock full with only a few things on display, then all of a sudden we were out in the open,” she said.

“We advertise Australia-wide pretty much, through magazines and media, and it’s just grown, we now need two days.

“Everyone brings their pride and joys and shows them off and we have some pride and joys at the complex itself.”

The committee will be displaying a few of its own tractors as well as the main attractions for many — a locally owned and restored 100-year-old Ronaldson Tippet tractor and a 1910 diesel kero tractor.

There will be market stalls for visitors to enjoy throughout the rally and for those wanting to see more of the town and enjoy a bit more range, a town garage sale will be held in conjunction with the rally.

The Lockington Heritage Centre will be providing homemade soup on Saturday and a roast on Sunday, while the Lions Club of Lockington will be preparing a barbecue for the masses.

There will also be two grand parades at 10am and 2pm on both days for exhibitors to show off their vehicles.

From 7.30pm on Saturday night, local ukulele band Locky Ukers will be performing.
