Another Yankalilla Classic Car Show Comes and Goes!
On Sunday 9th November we saw 180 vehicles on the Yankalilla Oval with around 1300 visitors through the gates enjoying the Forktree 2025 Yankalilla Classic Car Show.
This show raises funds for the Lions club to support local projects and people in the area. The 2024 show generated $8,000 in funds to assist in this area. The success of this year's show was such that we expect this to be surpassed for the 2025 event.
A big thank you to all our sponsors, volunteers, classic car enthusiasts and general public who make this all possible.
All the photos of the day are are on this Yankalilla Classic Motor Show site as a number of posts
