If you want to see a large collection of classic cars this weekend in Winnipeg, East End Arena is the place to be.

The arena is hosting the 19th annual Rodarama Car Show.

The event goes until 9 p.m. Saturday and from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday.

“Cool cars,” said Frank Fazio, one of the organizers. “Every year we have a whole bunch of new cars that have never been seen before, cars that may have been recently built, cars that have been hidden away, little gems.”

Fazio said most of the cars are local, but there are some from around Manitoba, along with a few from northern Minnesota.

“There are cars in here that are worth in excess of a million dollars,” Fazio said.

“There’s cars in here that are only worth maybe a few thousand dollars, but it’s the work that has gone into them that people will appreciate.”

He said the show is the kick off to car season now that warmer weather has arrived.

The car show is a judged event and an award presentation will take place Sunday afternoon.

Adults get in for $10 while children aged 12 or younger get in for free.
