Is Vette Fest held every year or every other year? This event is high on our list for next year, if every year.

Great photos, thanks!

It's every 2 years...Pretty cool event and it takes a lot of time from the individuals who put it all together. We have great leadership and they really invest their time in it to make it as awesome as it is. And look for it this Fall on Corvette Nation TV on Velocity!
