John Stuart from Cudgegong Cruisers has been part of Can Cruise for more than 10 years. He said seeing the event grow and become so well-supported by the community is heartening.
"Last year was our biggest event ever where we made $30,000 for CanAssist on the day," John said.
"We now have a lot of people coming from outside the area now to it - from Lithgow and the Portland area... we've got regulars from Sydney and Dubbo that come up, so it's great."
