Default Pics: "Corvettes on the River"

We had a couple forum members make quite a long drive up for the Corvette Show this year in Paducah, KY.
It was a pleasure meeting David Carter aka 'Slik' and his wife 'Beth' from Hoover, AL. and also great to see my friend Jim Richards again aka 'shoribs' from Hobart, IN.
Several other forum members were present that I'll mention along with the photo's below.
It was a great show even though it got a little wet later that afternoon. We were actually fortunate it held off as long it did and only ended up raining for about an hour before the awards ceremony began then stopped long enough to finish up the show.
Congrats to forum members 'YELL01, tjb05c6, and vettes4fun's' wife, (Cheryl Vinson) for winning their awards at the show.
Hope you guys had a safe trip home and was great visiting with everybody.

The first 3 shots are of 'shoribs' great looking C5








Cheryl Vinson's, 'vettes4fun' wifes, great looking 98 Pace Car

Thanks for sharing the pics Jim.
Looked like a great show despite the weather.
Sorry we(Randy(RTSVET) and I) didn't make it down.
We will put it on the calender for next year and make it down for sure.
By the way, the flames on the interior panels look outstanding.
