Rev your engines and dust off your pride and joy, the Lockington and District Living Heritage Complex Annual Tractor Rally is back on for 2021.
After having to cancel last year’s event, organisers are hopeful COVID-19 won’t interfere and the event will go ahead as planned.
It will be tractors and engines galore over the Anzac Day weekend and the event is sure to delight enthusiasts and families alike.
Over the road, the Living Heritage Complex will be open all weekend with plenty to uncover inside.
“We have a few different exhibits we hope will entice people to come along,” organiser Joe Chappell said.
“A 1910 tractor and a home-built tractor that’s been restored after it was burnt in a hay fire.
“It’s as good as a factory-built tractor.”
The rally is widely known and draws crowds from across the region.
“A lot of them travel 1000 km to come here—we’re very proud of that,” Mr Chappell said.
“Some have come from Narromine in NSW (near Dubbo).
“We look after them—there’s full caravan and camping facilities available, showers and toilets.”
Organisers are hoping about 400 people each day will take in the attractions.
Catering will be available and a movie night is planned for the Saturday.
Entry to the event is $5 per person, and free for primary school-aged children when accompanied by an adult.
Around town, the Lockington Scarecrow Competition will also be on display so make sure to keep an eye out.
The event subject to change based on COVID-19 restrictions.
