This is going to be a great event for anyone calling themselves a Corvette enthusiast!

C'mon people!!!

Perfectly stated. For those who have never attended this event, now's the time. They're all great but this one is going to be a dandy. I absolutely guarantee that after attending this event and spending time at the National Corvette Museum, you will have a whole new level of appreciation for owning a Corvette.

I have been thinking, yes those that know me know that's dangerous , but what do you guys think about a meet and greet at the museum Thursday afternoon for forum members. Last year when the group got together for dinner it seemed like once everyone sat down at their tables I never got to meet most of them...

EXCELLENT idea, Randy. You're right, the dinner isn't the best place to actually meet and chat with everyone. We should pick a spot (outside, maybe?) and time to do exactly what you suggest. Let me know if I can help.

Thanks, Mike, I will probably take you up on that offer.

Let's chat about it when we get a little closer to the actual date.

That is a good ideal, last year I didn't get to meet many at all at Montana Grille

Great idea, Randy. Maybe we can even select a location (i.e. hotel parking lot), get a keg and we can all chip in!

Also Randy, did you see my suggestion above?

I'd suggest a hotel parking lot off Scottsville Rd where most of the hotels are located. There's the Marriott Courtyard/Holiday Inn University Plaza near the convention center where some events are held, and then there is also the Baymont/Hampton Inn option as well.

Just a thought - lots of time to decide! And Friday night is probably a better option for Forum members as Thursday might be too early for those that can't make it either Wed or Thurs.

A lot of the hotels are on Scottsville road, a few miles from the museum. That's where the Country Inn and Suites where we are staying at is.
