Shannons Take Your Tops Off For Breast Cancer Research 2017

Where: Parliament House Lawns Hobart
When: 1 April 2017 from 10.00 am to 2.30 pm

The popular static car show at the Parliament House Lawns in Hobart will again be held on Saturday 1 April 2017. This event has been a major success, both as a popular free community event for the public to engage at, and also as part of the PINKTOBER calendar of events in Hobart assisting raising funds for the National Breast Cancer Foundation. Last October’s event had to be postponed due to adverse weather conditions.

The event features the popular Lord Mayor’s trophy, the TasPlates People’s Choice prize, and the Shannons’ most prized car award. This static car display, now celebrating the fifth year since inception, is open to entries from all class of cars, from vintage through to modern, and is free to participate in, and free to attend.

The event in Hobart will this year also have a fashion aspect, with attendees being encouraged to dress to the era or to complement the cars on display. There will be a fashion parade and makeovers on the day by Billie Rocka. Prizes for best dressed ladies are courtesy of Your Habitat, Kingston Florist, and Brown Brothers wines and there will be some giveaways and a chance to try nail art options from Sky Eastley Jamberry Nails. Best dressed winners and winning cars are to be announced at 2.00 PM.

The event has become one that Shannons supports nationally and now hosts across other states throughout Australia. In total this initiative has raised over $14000 locally and with the $5500 raised in 2016 at the Canberra event, to date this has raised a combined total of over $30,000 nationally for the National Breast Cancer Foundation since the inaugural event in Hobart in October 2012.

Entrants can register their vehicle through Rod Belbin on rodney_belbin@shannons.com.au or phoning Shannons on 0408 314 309
