VIP Experience
CHROME & ICE™, the area’s only winter indoor car show, at the Dort Federal Credit Union Event Center in Flint was a tremendous success. Sponsored by General Motors and brought to you by the Dort Financial Credit Union with special thanks to ABC-12, Chrome & Ice™ 2020 was bigger and better than ever as we celebrated Flint, the birthplace of AMERICA’S SPORTS CAR. The Lobby featured ONE CORVETTE from EACH of the 8 GENERATIONS, and a pictorial history of the Flint Corvette Assembly Facility. Visitors to Chrome & Ice™ had a rare opportunity to see the exciting 8th GENERATION CORVETTE, the all-new 2020 mid-engine model up close!
Beyond the Lobby, there were more than 125 amazing vintage, classic, and collector vehicles of every description, and Rat Rod Alley (a new feature this year), more than 50 sponsor, automotive vendor, and interest displays, with live entertainment by Country Crooner Dave Lagness on Friday at 7:30 PM, and Classic Rock by the 3rd Degree Burns on Saturday at Noon and 2 PM. Guests to Chrome & Ice™ chased away the Winter Blues at family-friendly prices, and helped us pick the winners. Tickets were $9 for adults, and $6 for youth 12-17! Children under 12 were free!
The VIP EXPERIENCE returned this year on FRIDAY evening, FEBRUARY 7, 2020 from 6 to 8 PM. Tickets for the VIP Experience were $35.00 each, and included general admission to the car show and live musical entertainment, PLUS a complimentary adult beverage at any of several bars/concession stands in the arena, gourmet hors d’oeuvres in the Blue Line Room on the 3rd Floor of the Event Center, and luscious desserts, courtesy of the Dort Financial Credit Union, on the walkway above the Green Arena anytime between 6 and 8 PM. A ticket for the VIP Experience also entitled guests to free parking, lanyard, complimentary coat check, and the opportunity to vote for their favorite cars. Proceeds from the Chrome & Ice™ VIP Experience help support the Back to the Bricks® Youth Scholarship Fund. Last spring, thanks to your generosity, we awarded a total of $10,000 in scholarships to area students.
