Is it worth the admission? Yes. Is it worth the admission and a looooong drive? Eh.
Im still confused, i thought this was a c3 thing, it is not even a corvette only event,
Is it more like turkey rod run

I saw some nice cars that were going across the auction platform during my single day visit and I have some pictures of those cars, only saw about seven Corvettes though. Two C-1's, one C-2, three C-3's, one C-4.

The swap meet was not huge, took me about three hours to walk the whole show and not a lot of Corvette items to look at or choose from.

Bottom line, Spring Carlisle in April is a huge swap meet and is about eight times bigger with a lot more to chose from. If you want Corvette stuff only then consider Corvettes at Carlisle in August. The Corvette event is about twice the size of the Winterfest event but it is predominately Corvette parts with others brands sprinkled in here and there.

On undeniable fact about this show though that should be mentioned and that is the weather was in the high 70's and sunny. Not bad for February.

Thanks for following along folks, worth a visit if you are in the area next year.

Best regards,

David
