Last weekend, car enthusiasts from across the region headed to Ste. Rose for the sixth annual Wheels N Chrome show. Exhibitors spend many hours loading, travelling and washing.

Despite the rain, there were more first time entries this year, including an El Camino built by Ron Fischer who is totally blind. He has also built engines for dragsters. The door admission was considerably higher than last year. There was a great turn out for the kids’ activities and face painting with Loni Thompson was a hit again.

The weekend’s winners included:
• The raffle: first, Fat Tire Bike Exclusive to Snap On Tools, Ken Schmidt Kelwood, MB; second, self propelled push lawn mower with bagger, Neil Hopfner Ste. Rose, MB; third, Wooden deck cooler, Reena LeGall Ste. Rose, MB. 
• Peoples Choice awards: first, Wes Fenty, 1969 Doge Super Bee from Neepawa, MB; second, Brad Brezden, 1969 Mercury Cougar from Dauphin, MB; third, Gil Verville, 1931 Ford Model A from Ste.Rose, MB.
• Best In Show Bike Judged: first, Cathy Worrall, 2016 Soft Tail Deluxe from Ste.Rose, MB; second, Judi Burton, 2016 Indian Dark Horse from Kelwood, MB; third, Don Rosenkranz, 2002 Harley V Rod from Makinak, MB
Thanks to all the guys and gals for bringing their rides out to Ste Rose and thanks to the amazing sponsors and volunteers, as always. See you all next year for the seventh annual Wheels n Chrome June 15 and 16, 2018.
