It is pictured below in the main hall at Corvette Homecoming! Make sure to get here on the first day on Thursday for the Fun Run Road Tour and Downtown Party! The city of Effingham closes off the streets downtown and the mayor comes out to welcome the waves of Corvette owners who will be here. There is plenty of food grilling away by local restaurants who set up booths and live local music playing. There's a first round of awards that are announced during the party as well!

As we continue getting the grounds ready for Funfest, we thought it'd be fun to shoot this quick video and give you a guys some behind the scene looks at the preparation for Funfest and one of the newest features we've added this year!
Enjoy! :thumbs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJvH...ature=youtu.be |
Wishing you a very successful 2015 Funfest!

We've been having some beautiful weather as we continue getting the grounds prepared to welcome all of you to Funfest! There's still plenty more tents and structures that will continue to be set up over the next week! Banners, signs, flags, and more will be decorating the landscape soon!
We are also looking forward to welcoming Bob and Leola Klosterbuer to Corvette Funfest as the leaders of this year's Fun Run Road Tour! This 1948 Chevy COE/1964 Corvette combo will be leading the pack as we make our way through the countryside to downtown Effingham! With the help of some friends and family, Bob and Leola were able to restore both of these vehicles to their former glory! Can you believe this '64 was found in a chicken coop! The restoration was an obvious success and we look forward to seeing this beautiful combination at the front of the line on Thursday, the 17th! See you next week! :thumbs: :cheers: -Nick |
Condon Skelly Collector Vehicle Insurance will be here during Funfest with a special treat for all registered attendees! When you arrive to pick up your goodie bag, one of the receipts you are given will be a door prize ticket that you can drop off at their booth inside the Fun Dome!
Before the concert Saturday night, THREE winners will be drawn and will each receive a $500 gift certificate to Mid America Motorworks! So don't forget to check your receipts when you arrive and drop off your door prize ticket for a chance to win a FIVE HUNDRED dollar gift certificate just for being here! :thumbs: See you next week! :D -Nick |

I'm excited to say that we are just ONE WEEK away from Corvette Funfest 2015! :D This is always my favorite time of the year, the last few days before the show when all of the 'Vettes start flooding in and fill up the streets in town! :lol: My wife will hate me because every time I see a Corvette when we're out and about, I yell "POP QUIZ!" and she has to spot the Corvette I saw and guess what generation it was :lol: I've done this to her ever since Funfest last year after she volunteered and worked the show with me, she picked it up pretty quick! :thumbs:
It's safe to say that I'm just a little excited for Funfest to get underway! See you all next week! -Nick |

I am signed up, but can only go Saturday.
This is a GREAT event! Do you have a list of special pricing for any aftermarket exhaust systems for the C7 in the install tent? |
Is there a listing of all the for sale cars at the show? I'm unable to go but am in the market.

I have never counted, but there's usually only about 30-50 cars for sale. |
