Holden FB 1960

Today our small town Population of around 7,000 held the Steel 'n' Wheels Festival and population swelled to 20,000 people.. the town was humming with lots of cars, bands around every corner, dance groups and all the food stalls you could think of.. The owners of the cars had really given them a spit and polish..

Sounds like it was buzzing. Love the vibrant colours

Sounds like they advertised this well for that many people to visit! Its what little towns have to do now! Beautiful church and the Holden too!

What a wonderful occasion for your town - the church provides a lovely backdrop for the star of the shot. I do like to hear about all the important things that celebrate life that happen in small NZ towns. In my immediate district there are a great variety of events including the Sauru black currant festival, Welcome the godwits festival, Fungi symposiums, Skies over Mot etc.

@snaphappi Sounds like be worth while to visit while one of these festivals are on..

[Irene]

Lovely shot. I am always amazed at these events how clenched their engines are which is probably why he has the bonnet up
