Attendees will have the opportunity to view many makes and models of motorcycles and automobiles, including a 1940 Ford coupe, a 1911 Whiting, an assembled open roadster, a 2011 Golgotha Sanctified motorcycle, a 1942 Harley Davidson, a 1923 T Bucket, and a variety of classics, modified models, rat rods, tuners and low riders. The day’s events will also include guided tours of the CTT facility by Baker College students.

Admissions representatives will be on hand to answer questions and provide additional information about all of the programs offered at Baker College.

In addition, there will be an opportunity to win a $1,000 scholarship to Baker College of Flint. Participation is simple: pick up a bingo-type card upon arrival; get the card stamped at designated booths; turn in the completed card at the admissions booth by 2:45 p.m. A random drawing will select the winner. The lucky person need not be present to win. The scholarship is transferable, is good for any program that Baker College of Flint offers, and may be used for tuition and books.
