This will be my first Corvette Expo. I tried to go last year but I couldn't make it work with my schedule after all the moving around. Hopefully it sticks this year and we get good weather!

So is there a place for Corvettes to park together at the LeConte? I'm not interested in entering mine in a show but I'd love to chill with others owners!

I always stay at the Park Tower Inn. It's just across from the entrance to the Island. Clean rooms and a large parking lot. It's really convenient and the price isn't bad.

There is a HUGE lot at the LaConte Center just for Corvette parking and it's free. This area is one of the highlights of the show for me looking at the hundreds of Corvettes.

Good deal! I'm excited for this and a run down the Dragon. My first time was last Fall and I'm excited to go again.

Planning on being there (staying at the Margaritaville Island Inn) as long as the weather holds out. Weather in March in the south is a mixed bag, ya never know what you're going to get. It could be sunny in the low 70's or snowing in the 20's.

It was! That Friday afternoon it was about 55 degrees. At midnight the snow came. About 2 feet of it. My power was off for 3 days.
