I am fortunate to live 10 min from where the BG is held, I have gone the last 4 years in a row and would recommend it to anyone to attend 
Not much difference from year to year so like the above post says, I would go once as you will really enjoy it and then decide whether to go back.
On a side note, the best part of the show is the Bloomington Gold Road Tour held on Saturday night at 6pm. It is listed in the flyer as a side note but it is by far the best part of the show...hundreds, if not thousands, of vettes show up (weather permitting
) and the town you cruise through basically shuts down as everyone is on street corners or sitting out in their driveways waving you on. LEOs shut down the roads for the tour only. Great pic/video opportunities. Highly recommend this

I've gone every year but two since 1990. I always have a good time and there are plenty of beautiful Corvettes to drool over. Plus, if you are looking for some parts, there are lots of vendors that may just have what you are looking for.

Road Tour / GoldTour is a great time
I've been to Bloomington Gold almost every year since 1993. The road tour is a lot of fun and now my boys are old enough to ride along. Here's a pic of my younger guy getting ready for his first Road Tour. I would guess AT LEAST 1000 Vettes participate in the road tour when we get good weather. Here's a link to the GoldTour map:

My older guy likes watching the auction each year after getting a rootbeer float. I guess this year the auction will be televised and done indoors.
Hope to see some of you there!

One show I have yet to attend, but will ASAP. I saw many Corvette's headed up I 55 today, I waved from across the interstate in a 16 ton truck.
