We attended the event from 2009 to 2012 in our 69 Roadster, 2013 in our 99 Convertible and 2014 in our 13 GS convertible. We always had a great time.

Default Eureka Springs

The wife and I love this event, have been going for 7 or 8 years now and enjoy it every time even when sometimes the weather isn't great but normally it is very nice. We really enjoy the area and all of the corvettes make it that much more fun. We have met a lot of very nice people that all have and try to be involved in as many events as we can. We will be there again this fall, hope to see you there.

I was there. Have attended it the last several years. Nice area, some great roads to drive, and a bunch of cool Corvettes.

I've been there twice, and did enjoy it. Eureka Springs and the surrounding area have a lot to offer if you're just there for a weekend. Now that I live in South Dakota, I attend the Black Hills Corvette Classic, which is an excellent event too.

Me and the wife took the Z there the first three years we had it. Long drive, especially the last few up the mountain (21 miles I think). I was petrified the whole time, my knuckles were white (I'm terrified of heights). Show was great. Poured down rain the first year we were there. Last time we went, we stayed in Rogers. It sleeted the night before the show, so we didn't go up the mountain with sleet on the road. Bummer. Have to work next weekend so can't make it, maybe next year.

It is a great event and a beautiful town. I've been many times because until three years ago I lived in Arkansas. It is a fun place to drive and I always enjoyed staying at the Crescent Hotel. It's old but fun. It is supposed to be haunted and they have host tours.

There are always hundreds of vettes. I look forward to going again in the coming years.

It was a bit wet to start Saturday morning, still had a good turnout and it did clear off to be a nice day.

A little bit of rain didn't ruin the fun!

Default Eureka Springs

After the rain shower Saturday morning the sun came out and the weather was perfect. Will be back next year.
