Engines Roar, Community Soars: M.A.C.E. Show and Shine Gives Back

The 4th Annual M.A.C.E. Show and Shine rolled into Gladstone on Sunday, August 31, 2025, and it was a day to remember! Held at the Rocky Glen Hotel Motel, the event brought together car and bike lovers from across the region for a fun-filled day of engines, chrome, and community spirit. Best of all, it raised an amazing $18,000 for the Gladstone Renal Unit, helping make life a little easier for local patients.

From gleaming classic cars to eye-catching bikes, there was something for everyone to admire. Categories ranged from People’s Choice, Best American, Best Paint, Best Import, and Best Australian for cars, to Best Cruiser, Best Harley, Best Paint, Best Sports Bike, and Best Trike for bikes. The day celebrated the passion, creativity, and hard work of local vehicle owners, while giving the community a chance to come together and enjoy a shared love of wheels and engines.
