Will there be a specific "Corvette Forum" parking area?
Is "Corvette Forum" considered a "club"?
Is camping allowed on the Mid America grounds?
Are pets (dogs) allowed at the event?
Thanks!

The Forum isn't considered a "Club" I apologize.
There is camping allowed on site for both RV and Tents.
Pets are more than welcome, we just ask that they remain on a leash.

This was posted on Facebook May 10 and I thought I'd pass it on.
As we continue planning Corvette Funfest 2022, we have decided to make some necessary changes for this year’s show. Corvette Funfest 2022 will now be a one day event held the day of Saturday, September 17th and will be FREE! If you have already registered and paid for this year’s show, you will receive a full refund, as well as an additional $25 Mid America Motorworks gift card per registration as a gift from us to you. Since the COVID-19 pandemic struck, we simply do not have the staff nor many of the local resources and volunteers we typically have available to put this year’s show on in full swing. This amazing one-day version of the show will provide all of the high-octane activities you love about Corvette Funfest at a pace our staff can handle. Events for that Saturday will still include live music and entertainment, food and drink vendors, the Corvette Clubhouse, and more! Effingham has so much to offer, and you won’t want to miss the special events and activities put on by the city throughout the day and evening on Friday, so come for the day, stay for the weekend!
As we accelerate ahead, we have already begun planning a very special event for Corvette Funfest 2023, as the show will be the kickoff of us CELEBRATING 50 YEARS IN BUSINESS! The dates for next year’s event will be September 14th-16th, 2023!

Nothing has been posted to the Funfest web site since 5/20/22.
I would like to know what band is playing Saturday night.
I guess we'll have to keep checking the site for new info.

I emailed MidAmerica on July 11 and asked if there would be a concert.Josh Koester, Director Of Sales replied on July 14 that there would be a concert::
"Yes there will be. We are scaling things down a bit this year because we are already planning our 50th anniversary party for next year. Although this year’s event will only be one day, we will still have a concert, food vendors, seminars, awards, and all the fun stuff you’ve come to expect. Hope to see you there!"
Bands are often announced late - just wondering...

Visit Effingham will be hosting the Corvette Funfest Pre-Party at the Effingham Performance Center from 5:00 – 7:00 p.m. on Friday, September 16, 2022.
Corvette enthusiasts and residents are welcome to attend and help us kick off a weekend of classic cars! Mid America Motorworks will lead a cruise-in to the Effingham Performance Center arriving at 5:00 p.m. The evening’s festivities will take place in the EPC’s courtyard.
The event will feature live music from Doty and Dexter, as well as a few of our favorite food trucks, including Slow Spark BBQ and Homewood Grill.
“The Corvette Funfest Pre-Party is a great opportunity for us to welcome visitors to our community, but also, for residents to come and check out one-of-a-kind Corvettes and enjoy some unique entertainment,” said Tourism Director Jodi Thoele. There will be plenty of parking and room to listen to some great classic rock tunes, so bring your lawn chairs and enjoy a great night in Effingham.
For more information on the Friday night event, contact the Effingham Tourism department at 217-342-5310 or visit www.VisitEffinghamIL.com.
