Classic cars the line streets of Wilson Creek for last year's Little Big Show. This year's event is Saturday.

WILSON CREEK — The town of Wilson Creek will erupt with activity on Saturday, drawing the attention of thousands of classic car lovers from across Grant County and the area with its annual classic car and motorcycle show.

The fourth annual Little Big Show will fill Railroad Street from one end to the other. The Wilson Creek Fire Department will show a little hometown hospitality by serving breakfast from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. And the day from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. will feature anything from vendors in the park to the chance to get up close and personal to some of the greatest motor vehicles ever made. There will be music in the air, a beer garden and classic cars lined up for all to see.

“The last three years there’s been an average of about 200 cars and bikes,” event organizer Nicholas Odorizzi said. “It’s quite an event. It fills Wilson Creek from one end to the other with cars and people.”

There will be door prizes, dash plaques, arts and crafts vendors set up in the park, along with a swap meet and music by DJ Darren.

“Most of the bikes will be modern bikes, but the cars will all be vintage,” Odorizzi said. “We plan on a people’s choice this year. The sponsors will have a first-second-third prize for both the cars and bikes. The winners will all be decided by the people. There’ll be a booth where people can vote for their favorite.”

Sponsorship is growing by the day and includes The Harvest Moon, Hagerty, Ephrata Les Schwab, Wesco, Good Guys, DJ Darren and Inland Cellular.

“I posted a video on the Facebook page that gives people a look at the turnout last year,” Odorizzi said. “People can go to www.thelittlebigshow.com where I have a pre-registration link. They can get a jumpstart on early registration if they want to.”

It’s a big day in a small town and car lovers can expect Wilson Creek to roll out the welcome wagon for the event.
