The General Motors Corvette Assembly Plant has changed their work schedule during our Labor Day Celebration in order to accommodate more of our Corvette enthusiasts. The plant will now be open and operating Tuesday through Friday, September 1-4. The plant will be closed on Monday, August 31. Tours will be running continuously during the festivities.
"The event attendees are our customers and supporters so it was only natural that we make every effort to accommodate them during this special occasion," said Paul Graham, Plant Manager. Remember to purchase your tickets in advance and check the website for updates and a review of the 'what to wear and what not to bring' information. For those of you visiting the plant on Friday, please be sure to express your gratitude to plant employees for changing their schedule.

Several Corvettes Up for Grabs
|
|
Whether you fancy a Coupe, Grand Sport, Convertible or want to Build Your Own Corvette we have several upcoming raffles to make you pine for a new ride! Thursday, August 13 we will be drawing a winner for our 2010 Cyber Gray Coupe, a raffle limited to 500 tickets at $250 each. The following week, August 20, is your chance to own a 2010 Crystal Red Grand Sport and is limited to 500 tickets at $450 each.
Labor Day weekend we will be giving away three beautiful Corvettes, plus two cash drawings for those who enter our raffle for the special 15th Anniversary Grand Sport.
Congratulations to last week's Build Your Own Z06 Winner, Cobb Barksdale from Acworth, GA. He had ticket number 051. He was thrilled to be the winner. "Oh my God, are you serious!?!", was his first reaction. Cobb has never been to the Museum and has never owned a Corvette before, but has recently been looking for one. He has decided that winning a raffle is the best way to get a new Corvette.
He currently drives a Camaro and hangs out with a Camaro club and sometimes with a Corvette club. He said the Corvette group is a lot of fun and he has wanted to be a part of that.
To get your ticket or for information on upcoming raffle opportunities, visit our website at www.corvettemuseum.org/raffle/ or call 800-538-3883.

Items Still Needed for Enthusiast Area of Museum
|
|
The Museum's new displays are getting their final touches and we need YOUR help! A new section focusing on Corvette Enthusiasts is being installed between where our crash test car is and the Skydome. This area features people like you, fans of the Corvette. We are in need of the following items:
- Videos of auto cross, drag racing, HPDEs, and time trials…you having fun in your car. Could include videos from inside your Corvette.
- Video of Corvette fanatic garages: Not only showing off your garage, but telling us about it sort of like an editorial story.
- Testimonial type video about how you have changed your lifestyle or something about your life to focus on the Corvette.
- Photos of winners at club car shows
- Cool license plates
