The Big Boys Toys show will be held in Doveton on Sunday to help raise funds for two community projects. Paul and Pamela Simpson from Narre Warren were at last year’s Big Boys Toys show.BIG Boys Toys are back in Doveton and Eumemmerring and the grunt is set to start on Sunday.
The popular show will again be held in Doveton and exhibit vintage cars, sprint cars, steam engines, hot rods, custom cars, woodwork activities for the kids, games and more.
Big Boys Toys has been organised by Tammey Tiley and parents from the Doveton and Eumemmerring Neighbourhood Renewal Community Events Fund Committee.
Entry is a gold coin donation and all money raised from entry, a sausage sizzle, raffle and show bags will help fund two community projects, The Barn and The Parent Place.
The Barn, at Doveton North Primary School, and The Parent Place, located at Eumemmerring Primary School, will be open-plan spaces where local families, staff and students can attend forums and participate in activities and events.
The Barn will include a community garden, which will incorporate a vegetable garden to promote healthy eating.
The Parent Place will include an industrial kitchen.
The spaces will also be available to community groups and these common community meeting places will be based in, and will facilitate services and activities for, the local community, including all seven schools within the Doveton and Endeavour Hills area.
The Doveton and Eumemmerring community will be involved in the building of the structures and surrounding community gardens, increasing their connection with the project.
The Barn and The Parent Place are expected to commence late next year.
Big Boys Toys runs from 10am until 2pm at Doveton North Primary School in Rowan Drive, Doveton.
