SE Idaho Days: The car-show that almost wasn’t?!

Video

South East Idaho Days at the Bannock County Event Center in Pocatello, Idaho, 03-04MAY2024.  The car show was supposed to be on the 4th.

The cars that showed up on the 4th were literally last second arrivals as, apparently, the festival organizers failed to drive local car enthusiasts to pose at the free event.

The call to action literally went out the day before, from a local car club called Idaho Classics and Modern Muscle (ICAMM).

In 1970 (Cold War), the first in the U.S. fully enclosed colligate sports arena opened; the ASISU (Associated Students of Idaho State University) Minidome.  In 1988 (Cold War), the name was changed to Holt Arena to honor the athletic director who pushed for the creation of the Minidome.  In January 2024 the name was changed, again, to ICCU (Idaho Central Credit Union) Dome, due to the arena’s recent refreshment being funded mostly by the financial institution.

2024, Holt Arena-ICCU Dome Part-2: Chrome in the Dome

Video

In January 2024, the first in the U.S. fully enclosed colligate sports arena got a name change, for the third time since 1970.  The new name is ICCU (Idaho Central Credit Union) Dome, due to the arena’s recent refreshment being funded largely by the financial institution.  In 1970, it was called ASISU (Associated Students of Idaho State University) Minidome to honor the fact that students (whether they knew it or not) had funded the construction through increased student fees.  In 1988, the name was changed to Holt Arena to honor the athletic director who pushed for the creation of the Minidome.

On the 15th-16th of March 2024, Idaho State University (ISU)-College of Technology Automotive Program held its ‘Chrome in the Dome’ car show, in the Holt Arena-ICCU Dome.

Holt Arena 2024, part-1: Chrome in the ICCU Dome

Video

On the 15th-16th of March 2024, Idaho State University (ISU)-College of Technology Automotive Program held its ‘Chrome in the Dome’ car show, probably for the last time in ‘Holt Arena’.  That’s because in January 2024, the first in the U.S. fully enclosed colligate sports arena got a name change, for the third time since 1970.

The new name is ICCU (Idaho Central Credit Union) Dome, due to the arena’s recent refreshment being funded largely by the financial institution.  In 1970, it was called ASISU (Associated Students of Idaho State University) Minidome to honor the fact that students (whether they knew it or not) had funded the construction through increased student fees.  In 1988, the name was changed to Holt Arena to honor the athletic director who pushed for the creation of the Minidome.

My children all had their high school graduations in Holt Arena, and I attended my own graduation from ISU in Holt Arena.  It’s also used for many things other than sports and graduations, such as the Pocatello Spring Fair, farm shows and car shows, let’s go!

Custom trophies for custom cars! Trophies were made by Idaho State University-College of Technology Automotive Program students.

Bees are supposed to be hibernating in Winter.

I found where one of the ‘Coolest Bees On The Scene’ hibernates; in the Pine Ridge Mall in Chubbuck, Idaho, during the snowy weekend of January 13th & 14th, 2024.
