I work in ballina and know nothing about this, any information?

Ballina is a bigish country town on the Pacific highway, between coffs harbour and byron bay.

I just googled,

http://www.echonews.com/901/index.html

"If you're into cars, then the annual North Coast Street Machine Show-n-Shine in Ballina this Sunday, January 12, is the place to be.

The Show-n-Shine will feature hundreds of cars including street machines, vintage and veteran cars, hot rods, bikes, special interest vehicles and even some old racing cars.

Entrants can arrive from 6.30am, but no later than 8.30am (there are more than 80 prizes up for grabs). The Show-n-Shine is then open to the public from 9am to 4pm, and entry is just $4 (no extra charge for show entrants). Some of the proceeds will go to the Our Kids Northern Rivers Children's Health Fund."

Isnt this Sunday the 14th, not the 12th?

Above says 12th but it's the 14th of January. I think it's the football ground.

"If you're into cars, then the annual North Coast Street Machine Show-n-Shine in Ballina this Sunday, January 12 (edit - should be 14th), is the place to be.

The Show-n-Shine will feature hundreds of cars including street machines, vintage and veteran cars, hot rods, bikes, special interest vehicles and even some old racing cars.

The event is now in its 14th year and North Coast Street Machine spokesperson, Kevin Woolard, said the group is hoping this Sunday's meeting at Ballina rugby league ground will be the biggest and best yet.

"We're expecting more than 200 cars and over 4,000 people - if it's a fine day we should break the record for the biggest show yet," Kevin said. "There's just such a huge variety of vehicles - some that have been restored to showroom condition, others that have been modified with new bits and pieces so they're almost completely different and everything else in between. It's a fun, inexpensive day out for the family and a chance to see just how much money we waste on cars!"

As well as looking at the magnificent machines on display there are plenty of activities for the whole family to enjoy, including demonstrations by The Summerland Rockers, drag-the-car races, a variety of automotive trade displays and amusements for the kids, like a jumping castle and merry-go-round.

Entrants can arrive from 6.30am, but no later than 8.30am (there are more than 80 prizes up for grabs). The Show-n-Shine is then open to the public from 9am to 4pm, and entry is just $4 (no extra charge for show entrants). Some of the proceeds will go to the Our Kids Northern Rivers Children's Health Fund.
