As an event coordinator for Youngcare, Kylie understands the importance of giving back and creating opportunities for connection within the community.
“Most of the readers wouldn’t know but I’m a huge motorsports fan. My love for cars started when I met my husband over 20 years ago, he’s a huge Holden fan. We also named our first son Brock, after the late Peter Brock. Bringing a car show to the area was a given, as we don’t have anything else like this in our area”.
