Other than money, sun screen, water what else should I bring along.  Luckily my sis, who is putting me up, is only 15 miles from the fair grounds.  Am I allowed to bring a chair to our gathering spot? I doubt it but it never hurts to ask.

Of course you can bring a chair to the gathering spot. After all, its a corvette show, that's what we do. Someone will probably sit in it when you get up though.
Oh, and feel free to bring beer for everyone too Thumbs Up

Cool If the mountineer is your ride, bring one of those tent type shelters, 8x8, to set under. The sun gets mighty warm mid-day. THANKS! No room in C-3s for extras.LOL See ya soon.

I'll see if I can track one down.  Unfortunately, the Mountaineer needs a new wheel hub and the part isn't going to get here in time so I won't be bringing it.  My son decided to drive down with me but isn't sure how long he can stay due to his work schedule.

Let me know if you need a ride home on Sunday. I have a spare seat.
Bring canvas bags to carry all the stuff you will buy.

It wasn't that bad. I had just stepped out of the air conditioning. Today has been perfect for walking around, overcast and very little rain.  Great walking around and looking at all the stuff I would love to buy.  I haven't made it to the car coral yet.
