Visitors will then be able to test their skills as an “American Idol” judge and their entries will be sent back to Ford headquarters for evaluation.A panel of experts will then judge the volunteer judges and pick one winner to receive an all-expenses-paid trip for two to Hollywood to get a VIP experience with “American Idol.”For more information, call the dealership at 668-2177.
