Default MidAmerica Corvettes...

Just wondering, Has anyone yet to sign up for the Mid American Funfest. I was reading my catalog to read that it was free to register if you sent it in hte mail now. So i did, Ill be going hopefully shell be ready by then she should be.
Its out in illinois i guess, I just registered because it said its free now, until September 1st. Did anyone else go to this before, Or sign up yet.


Also what are some good shows near the end of the summer, and year that are a must.

Mid-America is at Effingham, Illinois. If you go to the FunFest, you will want to see Mike Yager's collection of Corvettes. He has some truly rare cars.

It's a very fun time. Last year the Beach Boys put on a concert on Saturday night. There were something more than several thousand Corvettes in attendance. You'll have a good time.

Corvettes at Carlisle is a must especially if you are looking for parts. They have a huge swap meet area. Also in PA, so it can't be too far from you. It is the weekend of 8/27. Myself and about 6 or 7 other cars will be caravanning up from central VA.

I've been to FunFest. It is a HUGE car show! Not many vendors, just the folks MidAm deals with. But it is definately a fun time and worth the trip. I've driven there twice from the Philly suburbs. Takes about 13 hours.

You are about 1 hour from Phoenixville, PA which is the site of the 3rd Annual Corvettes for a Cure on 7/23/06. Here's a link to info for that:
