The "Labor Day" event is the Anniversary event for the museum, not the Birthday Bash.

The Birthday Bash is the April event, that kicks off the event season. It was initiated in 1997 to help debut the C5 Generation Corvette's "Birth". Hence the name, "C5/C6 Birthday Bash".

And yes, I will be going.

What would this Senior Citizen do w/o the guidance of my Young Friends. Dementia is not easy to deal with at My Old Age !!! Anniversary is a much longer word to spell , when you get to be My age !!! I'll see you and Your LOVELY Wife down there . And we'll have one heck of a bash .

Won't be able to make the Labor Day celebration this year, but hope to visit the museum the weekend of 9/24 when we travel to Nashville, TN.

Have fun and take some pics to post.
