Winners of the 2013 Big City Rod Run in Sierra City, CA

Sierra City rolled out the welcome mat and the hearty Hot Rodders were out for this years 6TH Annual Big City Rod Run. Rain and shine, games and great food, a good time was had by all.

We are very appreciative of the Sierra County businesses that sponsored the 42 awards listed below and to all who gave to the donation drawing.

Our coveted, one of a kind, Best of Show award was again artfully created by Dan Marovich who presented the award to the grateful Pettigrew’s.

A HUGE THANK YOU to our volunteers who made everything run so smoothly, even in the face of a storm. To Lola Haddox, Sandy Blake and Sharon Dobija who have many talents that they bring to this event. To Tom Tomlinson, our wonderful announcer and music man, and to Brad Blake and Donnie Pratt for all their set up help.
