The event is being organised by local identity John Crasti, who is hoping to make the ute show an annual event.
“We’ve hopefully got Brendan Farrell [Burrumbuttock Hay Runners founder] coming, and he’ll be bringing along a semi-trailer full of merchandise,” Mr Crasti said.
“As a former farm hand, I cannot think of a better cause to raise money for.”
