I will be going for sure!! Leaving Noblesville Friday morning and will be there all weekend. I'm with you $20 for my dad and I to spend some quality time together looking at cars and hearing about all of the Vette's he's had through the years is priceless!!!

Well please make sure you stop by the F/S area and look me up. I will be setting next to my 72 Ontario Orange BB. It is always good to put a face with someone you chat with on the Forum.

Mike,

I'm going this year and will be heading over and staying at a hotel with a co-worker. I think my dad will be over with his 99 on Sat or Sun. I am leaving Friday evening after my part time job. When are you leaving? I have the hotel set but have not registered at Mid-America yet, may do that tonight.

I know that a lot of you posted last year that you would not go to Funfest because they now charge for the event. Well let me see, what Corvette Event don't charge? Well Carliale charges, Bloomington Gold charges, Chevy Vette Fest Charges, all the local car shows charge, hummm who is it that puts on an all Corvette Event that last three days with FREE entertainment on Sat. night and gives you a discount IF you buy items from them. You get a couple of Tee Shirts, hat pin, poster and other things? Guess I will be going to Corvette Fun Fest. If I could not afford the $25.00 they charge then I should not own a Corvette. It is not Mid Americas that raises the Hotel prices, it is the Hotels that do that. Heck they do it in St. Charles, Carlisle, Bowling Green, or anyplace that they hold a large event of any type, not just Corvette Events.
SO WHO IS GOING. I am, and I hope you stop by the For Sale area and say HI. Mike Terry

Hey John, we'll see you there.

Also, Mike Yager posted the following on his Facebook page.

Share Your Passion For Corvettes We still have some opening for the Yellow Corvette Salute to the Troops display. The display and ceremony will take place at 3pm on Saturday 9/18/10 during Corvette Funfest. If interested, please email your contact information with your year and model of Corvette to deb.beasley@mamotorworks.com


If you have a yellow Corvette and plan on being at Funfest on Saturday afternoon what better way to honor the troops!! They will be using 50 or so yellow Corvettes to layout a yellow ribbon. Some may remember the aerial view a couple years ago when they celebrated their 35th Anniversary. If you are interested in helping them out contact Deb Beasley at the e-mail listed in Mike's post.

I think around 7:00 or so. In the past they have had the BBQ buffet meal around 5 or 5:30 and I believe the music starts around 7.
