There are so many Corvettes in town for the Bash, rest assured that any hotel you choose will have quite a few Vettes in the parking lot.
I'm staying at the Candlewood Suites. Many stay at the Country Inn and Suites right next to it. Always the largest crowd at the Holiday Inn, where the Saturday night banquet is held. It's also the closest to Montana's.
Booking a block of rooms is more of a job than I could handle at this time. If you want to volunteer.........

Looking forward to meeting everyone at the dinner - especially Mike Furman, who sold me my first Corvette: the new Laguna Blue Z51 Vert I'll be picking up at the Museum soon.

As David already pointed out, a big part of it is the opportunity to spend a few days with hundreds of other people who share our passion for Corvettes. A lot of lasting friendships have been formed at these events. (Ask me how I know!)
In addition, though, there are a lot of great presentations of information such as 2015 sales results, engineering info, and all that will be new on the 2016 models. There may even be a few pre-production 2016s on display.
One of the best things IMO is the fact that the top Corvette brass from GM (Tadge Juechter, Harlan Charles, Kirk Bennion, Ryan Vaughan to name a few) are not only there but they're also very accessible. They love talking Corvettes, whether as formal group presentations or in one-on-ones with other attendees. The Corvette team from GM are a first class group of people; once you get to know them you can't help but be even more proud to own one of these cars.
Of course, the National Corvette Museum is a great place to visit even without the bash. It's a first rate facility that's run by first rate people. If you've never been there before, the bash will be an even more memorable experience for you.

It's time again to get on the list for the 2015 Corvette Forum Dinner at the NCM Bash in Bowling Green this April. Montana Grill had a fire this last year, but have assured me that they will be open in time for the Bash. I have reserved the Atrium room for the Corvette Forum Dinner. The Atrium will seat about 50 people. If we have more, it will spill over into the main room. As usual, it will be a Dutch treat, informal get-together that will start about 6 PM on Thursday, April 23, 2015.
The Montana Grill is located at 1740 Scottsville Rd in Bowling Green, KY.
Please post the number that you will bring in this thread. I'll try to update the list regularly. Thanks, and we'll see you there. David

Seriously, even Callaway Chris has been known to drive a truck.
How many do you want me to put you down for?
