I love hearing about people coming back after their first time, you'll get a great feel for how different this event is every year! Especially this year, we have a lot of fun new features we're excited to roll out!

We've been having some beautiful weather as we continue getting the grounds prepared to welcome all of you to Funfest! There's still plenty more tents and structures that will continue to be set up over the next week! Banners, signs, flags, and more will be decorating the landscape soon!
We are also looking forward to welcoming Bob and Leola Klosterbuer to Corvette Funfest as the leaders of this year's Fun Run Road Tour! This 1948 Chevy COE/1964 Corvette combo will be leading the pack as we make our way through the countryside to downtown Effingham! With the help of some friends and family, Bob and Leola were able to restore both of these vehicles to their former glory! Can you believe this '64 was found in a chicken coop! The restoration was an obvious success and we look forward to seeing this beautiful combination at the front of the line on Thursday, the 17th!
See you next week!

Just went through the list of seminars and didn't see Paul Koerner listed. He's always been a staple of Funfest. Will he be absent this year?

Due to schedule conflicts, Paul was unable to make it this year, but I'm almost certain he will be back yet again next year!-Nick

I'm excited to say that we are just ONE WEEK away from Corvette Funfest 2015! This is always my favorite time of the year, the last few days before the show when all of the 'Vettes start flooding in and fill up the streets in town! 
My wife will hate me because every time I see a Corvette when we're out and about, I yell "POP QUIZ!" and she has to spot the Corvette I saw and guess what generation it was I've done this to her ever since Funfest last year after she volunteered and worked the show with me, she picked it up pretty quick!
It's safe to say that I'm just a little excited for Funfest to get underway! See you all next week!

We are just THREE days away from Funfest! I've already seen a number of 'Vettes rolling around town this weekend! If you're in town, stop by the MY Garage Museum and Retail Store here on our grounds and ask about being featured on our social media!
See you in a few days!

It was a busy week for us here at MAM, but we loved every second of it! I had an absolute blast working Funfest this year and enjoyed getting to meet so many of you in person! This was a great year and we want to thank all of you who came out to enjoy the show!
I had a great time running the Club Competition Day on Saturday and want to thank the Corvette Club of Illinois, Corvettes of Western Ontario, Shoals Area Vette Enthusiasts, and the Glass City Corvette Club for making it such a wonderful time! That, and for putting up with me most of the day!
I'm already looking forward to next year and seeing all of my new friends once again and meeting some more of you!
Enjoy some of these amazing shots by our in house photographer, Ed Baumgarten, and check out our Facebook page for dozens of other wonderful shots from the show!
