BIG BAY -- Over 50 snowmobiles were on display in Big Bay for the Antique and Vintage Snowmobile Show.

Saturday the classic sleds lined the parking lot of the Big Bay Motel as visitors got an up-close look at the classic snowmobiles.

Many say there is just something special about a sled that is more than 25 years old.

"I like to just look at all the cool snowmobiles and displays. The newer ones are all like shiny and plastic. These ones are actually mostly made of metal and they last a lot longer," said Rebbekka Taylor, snowmobiler.

There were 10 separate categories snowmobilers were allowed to enter, and their sleds were judged on things like originality and fan favorite.
