Default **"Corvettes on the River"**

Paducah, Ky. is host to this show, scheduled for Saturday...

I am packing as I type this...will leave midnight tonight...to be in Paducah in the morning...

Looking forward to meeting forum members and seeing some great Corvettes, as the region is host to some awesome cars...

A big thanks to IRV and Jim, for helping myself and Allen procure our lodging for the trip...

All of you folks on the forum, especially from St. Louis and Paducah, post up and hopefully we will have pics coming thru Sat. and Sun.

Travel safe, and we will see you at the "Meet and Greet" on Fri, and at the show on Sat...

Steve

Here is a picture of Paducah's own Z06-Jim, talon90's wife (Becky), myself, and Allen (BigAls01).

We should be easy to spot around town, having big smiles on our faces meeting everyone these next few days...

Allen called, and woke me, and I will finish loading the car and, were off...

Drive safe everyone...

Steve
