OVER 500 ‘hot rods’ are expected to rumble into town for the 40th annual Port Fairy Rod Run this weekend, the second biggest event of the year for Port Fairy, after the Folk Festival.

Hosted by Hamilton’s South West Street Rodders car collectors’ club, the event attracts around 150 members from local clubs in the district, who descended on Port Fairy last night at the Basketball Stadium for vehicle registration and to kick off the weekend.
