My wife and I are going. We will be staying at the Comfort Suites. Arriving on Friday & leaving Sunday. I told Norsky I would help out in the booth during the show as well.[/QUOTE]
I will be parking with the Corvette Action Center group this year in club parking. I was at Mid America last week , its going to be a little different this year and sounds awesome !

We will be there also. 70oneconv and I think 78sevette will be with us. I told Norskey I'll help out in the booth too. Can't wait till then. See ya all there.
Lets see....15,000 Corvettes, maybe two people in each Vette . Metal cars coming too.. You had better get there really early !
Its Going To Be A Blast !

I moved this thread to the National & International events forum because it really is an international event (it just happens to be held in the Midwest Region).
I started a thread back in January (MAM FunFest - 2006) about the event and will be setting up a couple more in the near future to get names and contact info about who will be attending and who can help man the C3VR tent.
Hope to see as many C3VR members as possible while there. btw - the closest room I could book was in Mattoon which is about 30 miles north of Effingham.
Its hard to find a room near by if you have never been . Keep calling the hotels and check for cancellations . Once you get in one then you can reserve it each year thereafter. We got ours because of the hurricanes two years ago and several people canceled, now we are preferred guests because we stayed the year before. Makes me wonder about those poor folks that canceled, where are they staying now?
It is well worth the effort to be there !
Rather than start another thread about who'll be there I thought it would be easier to "commandeer" this one...!!!
If you have already replied to this thread please update your entry with:
- your name and the names of folks with you,
- where you will be staying,
- when you plan to arrive, and
- when you plan to head for home.
Between Scott and I we'll keep the list at the top of the thread updated as best we can.
Thanks!

71 is now running again. Someone has been in the wiring harness that should not have been there ..
For those of you that have never been ... Funfest is not just a bunch of Corvettes in a field. This is REO Speedwagon, this is Corvette Mania, This is Corvette Heaven for just these few days a year.
Pack your bags , quit your jobs , rent your kids out for a weekend and join us for the Corvette Party of the year !

Are you ready , shined, repaired, fueled, hoteled, packed.
The 71 is ready for the trip (as of right this moment , it all works)
Start cleaning and claybaring the 77 today and get it ready. It really looks bad beside the 71 now that the 71 is all clean .

This was posted on the CAC site today if it will help anyone find a room.
Limited rooms are available to CAC members at Super 8 Motel at exit 159 (hwy. 32/33 exit). This is just 2 miles (approx.) from the site. I just spoke to General Manager Anthony Shimboff (217-342-6888) and he said that for the general public, he's full, but for CAC, he's got a small number of rooms avail. for Fri. and Sat. evenings. My price was $93.99 per night for queen - nonsmoking. Concerning the price, he said most hotels are over $110 / nt. for the weekend...if you can find anything. I asked permission to post this availability, which he gave, so tell him you're with the corvette group and saw this post from Steve Conn of Memphis.
