Euro car owners from around the continent came to Kelowna for a weekend long car event that raised money for charity.

Dozens of European cars lined City Park in Kelowna on Sunday to raise money for Kelowna General Hospital Foundation.

On Saturday drivers were given a route up to Big White Ski Resort and pit stops to collect playing cards along the way. A prize was given to the driver who collected the best poker hand on the journey.

The festivities wrapped up on Sunday with a car show in City Park and games like find the 10mm socket, a contest to see who could remove the most parts from an engine in 5 minutes, and a 50/50 raffle to raise money for the Kelowna General Hospital Foundation.

For the car enthusiasts who didn’t get a chance to go to the event, iNFOnews.ca took some photos.
