The Riverina Vintage Machinery Club is set to hold their biennial rally on Saturday and, after listening to feedback from past attendees, the group has decided to mix things up.
The last time the event was held was in 2016 over two days.
“We had some feedback that the two days wasn’t really working for the people who came or wanted to come,” club publicity officer Laurie Withers said.
“So, we’ve put it back to one day this year and it’s going to be a jam-packed program.
“It’s for all ages and families as well. There’s something for everyone.”
There will be displays of cars, trucks, tractors, engines, motorcycles, machinery, steam engines and memorabilia.
On top of that the tractor pull will be happening out in the middle of the Leeton Jockey Club, which frees up the car park for people to use.

“In the past that’s been in the car park so people have had to park at the showground and walk up or on the road, so this time they can come straight to the jockey club and park there,” Mr Withers said.
On top of all of that there will also be craft and food stalls, entertainment from the Leeton Town Band and model aeroplanes.
“We want everyone to come along … the young ones can learn and for the older generation they can reminisce and pass their own stories and knowledge along,” Mr Withers said.
“There’s a lot of history there.”
The event will be held on Saturday at the Leeton Jockey Club from 9am to 5pm.
Entry is $5 for adults, $3 for pensioners and under 17s are free.
