In Sioux Falls on Wednesday, July 13 at 5:00 pm is Hot Summer Nights, kickoff party to Black Hills Corvette Classic. There are Corvettes, of course, and Harley's, rockn'roll, food, beer. The Corvettes gather at the Chevy dealer that afternoon for some more fun. Only 3.5 hours from the cities.

The two best places to look for events in your area are the Great Lakes regional section of the Forum and the Great Lakes Events Calendar. Good luck and welcome to the Forum.

back to the 50's is awesome, I was there also, they get over 10,000 cars there, its put on by the Minnesota Street Rod Association (MSRA)

It is the second largest show in the US. Not sure what the largest one is.

Definately awesome, the Car Craft nationals will be here next month, I like that one better, more muscle cars.

As far as the get togethers, I browse vetteaction.com also, havent had a chance to meet up with anyone, I tried to cruise down university on Sat night, the cops had everything closed and blocked off. WTF

yes, the cops did close off Uni on sat night at about 11... i was at porky's all day, from 5:30 to 12 ish... it was a great time!!! the vettes kinda dominated one section under the roofed part... it was awesome!

i usually go to Porky's almost every weekend... if u see a pewter vert with a roll bar and black Z06 rims, thats me...stop and say hi!
