Free family event in Frankton this weekend

Angela O'Leary from Councillor Angela O'Leary - Hamilton City Council

Hi everyone. Just wanted to let you know that the good folks down at Frankton are having a weekend of fun this Sat & Sun. The Frankton Thunder is a free family event with classic cars, motorbikes, food, entertainment, fashion, markets and more. There's stuff for the kids and mum and dad. There's even a tank and other military vehicles on display. The full programme is out in the next couple of days. Jump on their FB page for more details. The organisers are a group of locals passionate about Frankton and of course may have a touch of petrol head blood in them as well ;). Hope to see you there.
