Rosehaven Hospice and Respite Care is having an open day on Saturday 18 October with a difference.

As an interesting addition to the event the organisers are holding a show and shine with local vehicles.

Rosehaven board member, Paul Appleby, who is an active participant in the local car club scene, believed the four acres of Rosehaven gardens and lawns would be an ideal location for a car display event, and add something special to the open day.

Anyone with a special vehicle can enter free of charge, and be in the running to win fuel vouchers as voted by the general public.

A wide variety of vehicles will be on display, including a late model Lamborghini convertible, hand built hot rods, classic cars, and even a pair of panel vans modified by the highly regarded Castlemaine hot rodder, Rod Hadfield.

The Rosehaven open day will be held at its hospice/respite facility at 82a Malcolm St Mansfield from 10am to 3pm.

Vehicles will be on display throughout the day, with the majority between 11am to 1pm.

There will also be tours of the Rosehaven facilities, various displays, and a barbecue.
