I used to live up in Auburn myself. Down in Windham now. I know of a few Vettes that we all get together and do cruises to OOB as well as NH. I have a Cyber Gray C6.

I'm outside of Boston but regularly take my Vette to Lil's for donuts and coffee in downtown Kittery. That generally leads to a nice drive to York or Portland.

We aren’t too far from York. Portland is actually the next town over from us. I missed back to the beach today but my uncle told me there was about 400 Vettes there today.

There were just under 300 Corvettes on "the hill", with several more that went to an overflow lot. They broke their record this year, and had never previously packed the entire hill!

The first two are pictures I took, and the third was from a drone

That OOB. From what I was told, there were only a handful of C3’s and mainly C5’s and up. I was very surprised to hear that.

Most of the attendees have newer generations, that drive from a bit further away. The few older ones are either closer or have more faith in the older cars.

Not to say there aren't older generations, there was a nice C3 at the motel I was at, as well as many C4s too. The "show" did also have a couple C2s, a couple C3s, many C4s too. The majority were C7s and lots of C8's too. There never really seems to be too many older generations, even at the local shows. Not sure why, or if they aren't road worthy yet or if they just don't go to shows?

Yes, its an annual event. June 12-15 2025.

They had to cancel their web page due to costs. This was posted on their Facebook page in early December. I know the hosts personally and have attended the event for the past 8 years.

Sorry for the inconvenience. Both Odie and I feel terrible about having to do this, but we just couldn’t afford it anymore with the current price increases.
