The show attracted motor enthusiasts from around the region and interstate.

He said the truck entries were outstanding again this year, and the three cars from the TCM Racing Series attracted a lot of attention.
Along with the wide variety of vehicles on display, the SES hosted a demonstration of a car crash rescue.
