Copied this information from another site in regards to the event mentioned.
I'll plan on going by, do like my morning coffee...

A friend and I are establishing a C&C program that will be held the last Saturday of each month, with the inaugural event taking place on April 30th from 8-11 am. The location will be downtown Flossmoor, IL adjacent to the Flossmoor Station and Brewery. We have the full support of the Village and several sponsors, and expect the events to be well attended. There is no website as of yet, but please email me at rumchopra@gmail.com and I will send you a flyer that contains all of the pertinent information.
Also, the Brewpub (www.flossmoorstation.com) will be providing coffee and pastries all morning for attendees. In addition, they actually serve breakfast so anybody can walk in if they are particularly hungry. You can literally walk out their side entrance to the parking lot, so it is pretty convenient.



P.S. The organizer of this event sent me the flyer which restates the above, Corvettes are absolutely welcome to attend.

Good Luck with you first Cars & coffee. We have ours every 3rd Saturday of the month. Sponsored by Dupont Registry in the Tampa Bay Area. Starts at 7 am until 9 am, but you better be there before 7 if you want a parking spot. Normal turn out is 250-300 cars. A large Ferrari group, Lambo's, Aston Martins, Audi's, Porsche's, Corvette's and Hot Rods.
Make sure you post pictures.
PS I grew up in Chicago, now live in the Tampa Bay area in Florida.
