DURAND, Mich.– If you love automotive history, classic cars
and simply having a good time, then it’s time for you to get ready for
Back to the Bricks to cruise into downtown Flint,
Mich. With all of the fun things planned, this year’s Back to the Bricks is
going to be one for the books. You don’t want to miss all of the action, so we
put together a little itinerary for you to go off.
Tuesday, August 11
Wednesday, August 12
You can see the Opening Ceremony for the Cruise downtown at
4 p.m., then watch the Rolling Cruise that will move from downtown Flint to
Grand Blanc from 5-9 p.m. During the Rolling Cruise, take your kids to
participate in the
GM-sponsored Pinewood Derby in Grand Blanc and wait for the Rolling
Cruise to arrive. After the pinewood derby, check out the Miniature Toy Car
Tournament at First Baptist Church of Grand Blanc, where cars will be provided.

Thursday looks about the same as Wednesday with another
Rolling Cruise, Pinewood Derby and Miniature Toy Car Tournament, but you can
never go wrong with doing all three 2 days in a row!

This is when Back to the Bricks really revs up the excitement. There will be a
free hot dog lunch for cruisers at Duke’s Car Stereo from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.,
and then another Rolling Cruise from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. But from 2-8:30 p.m., you
can sing your heart out at the Back to the Bricks Cruise ‘n’ Concert, featuring
the Motown hits cover band
The Heartbeats at 5 p.m. and musician
Dave Bennet at 7 p.m.

The last day of Back to the Bricks will contain the entrée
of events you’ll have waited all week for. Things will kick off bright and
early at 6:30 a.m. with a Hillbilly Breakfast Buffet. When
Back to the Bricks cruises into downtown Flint during the day, you’ll
