SEMA Show 'n Shine

Date: Saturday, July 24, 2010
Location: Pasadena Convention Center (300 East Green Street, Pasadena, CA)
Show Hours: 10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.

General admission tickets onsite only: $5 per person, children 12 and under are free.

Unlike the annual trade show that the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) organizes each year in Las Vegas, the general public is invited to attend the Show ‘N Shine.

Chip Foose, award-winning automotive designer best known for his work on TLC’s Overhaulin’, is the event’s Grand Marshal. He will be signing autographs from 1:00 p.m. – 2:00 p.m. Dennis Gage, host of the television program “My Classic Car”, will be signing autographs from 11:00 am – 12:00 noon.

On display throughout the day will be a unique collection of one-of-a-kind vehicles, including several restored classics dating as far back as 1940s, musclecars from the 60s, modern-day high-performance vehicles and a number of restyled cars featuring the craftsmanship of top industry designers.

Kids will be able to learn about the etiquette of attending a car show at the Kids’ Zone area, where they can also obtain free stickers and car-themed coloring pages. Kids will also be able to sign up to serve as a judge in the Kids’ Choice Awards program.

The Show ‘N Shine is a fundraising event, with proceeds benefiting two children’s charities: Childhelp and Victory Junction Gang Camp. The car show will be held in conjunction with the 3rd Annual SEMA CARES Pinewood Drag Races, which is also a fundraiser benefiting the two charities.
