DETROIT (WXYZ) â The Wayne County Commission has unanimously adopted a resolution urging the Detroit Auto Dealer Association to continue hosting the North American International Auto Show at the TCF Center in Detroit after the auto show was canceled earlier this month because of COVID-19.
The TCF Center, formerly known as Cobo Hall, was the sight of the North American International Auto Show for years. The show was canceled this year because of COVID-19, but now the Wayne County Commissioners say they want it back and say the show can still go on with the right safety protocols in place.
The Detroit Auto Show may be downsized for 2021, but late September is still shaping up to be a major auto blowout in southeast Michigan.
Jeep announced this week that it will sponsor Detroit 4fest one of the country’s premier off-road events at Holly Oaks ORV Park, Metro Detroit’s sprawling off-road playground. Scheduled for Sept. 25-26, Detroit 4fest will be sandwiched between the Detroit Auto Show’s Sept. 21-26 Motor Bella event and the American Festival of Speed, Sept. 30-Oct. 3.
With Motor Bella and Festival of Speed held back-to-back at M1 Concourse in Pontiac and Detroit 4fest taking over Holly Oaks 30 miles north off I-75 the auto trifecta will move the epicenter of car shows to Oakland County, away from its traditional TCF Center location in downtown Detroit.

James P. Hoffa, Teamsters: “With president-elect Biden and vice president-elect Harris in the White House, working families in Michigan and across the country will have true champions for the middle class. We are already speaking with the incoming administration and it is focused on putting this country back on track with policies that will help all Americans, not just the privileged few.”
Ken L. Harris, National Business League: “I believe the new administration will work to close the racial equity gap in this country and with (Harris) as the country’s first Black and woman to serve in that role, gives Michigan a fighting chance to do the same. Additionally, because of COVID-19 the 108,000 Black-owned businesses in Michigan have been severely impacted due to the pandemic, health crisis and economic shutdown, the new administration has signaled relief and access to capital for Black businesses, as a major priority.”
The Dadaists were writers and artists who made it their raison d’etre to destroy culture, or at least literature and art. They carried to its ultimate and absurd conclusion the distinction between form and content in art, rejecting literary conventions, the frame round a canvas, and even the ‘laws’ of normal speech–all these restricted and deformed the authentic complexity of mental reality.
