MUSCLE on the Mountain will return to the Maleny Showgrounds this Sunday, July 6, with organisers from the Apex Club of Maleny hoping to deliver their biggest event yet!
“We’ll have loads of vehicles for motoring enthusiasts to check out, and we’ve planned what we hope will be a fantastic day of family-friendly entertainment,” said club spokesperson Sam Price.
Last year’s event was postponed due to rain and held in September, but the club still managed to raise more than $14,000.
“We were thrilled with the amount raised,” Mr Price said. “It meant we were able to donate $6,000 to the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia, as well as support a number of local charities and community groups including Maleny Pony Club, Maleny Rangers Soccer Club, the Witta Rec Club, Conondale P&C and Maleny Rotary.
“We aim to distribute the funds in ways that best support the Maleny and hinterland community.”
The event will run from 7am – 1pm, with entry priced at $5 cash per person. Children under 12 can enter free.
“There are no EFTPOS facilities at the gate, but they will be available throughout the showgrounds,” Mr Price said.
“There’ll be live music, coff ee, food stalls, and this year we’ve added some fantastic entertainment for the kids. We want this to be a fun and aff ordable day out for the whole family.”
The ever-popular awards are also set to return, with categories including best vehicle in each class, furthest travelled, highest odometer reading, and the People’s Choice award.
“On behalf of Apex Maleny, I’d like to thank our wonderful sponsors, including Sunshine Coast Council, for helping us bring this event to the community,” Mr Price said.
