Announcing CruiseFest 2012

What is CruiseFest?

CruiseFest is a get-together for Corvette Action Center forum participants, friends, spouses, or anyone who enjoys relaxing and enjoying their "Corvette Summer."

What are the dates?

We have chosen the week of June 10 -16th. Most attendees will stay for a portion of that time period, but we wanted to give everyone time to explore on their own before or after the group activities. Remember, the Corvette Assembly Plant is only open from Monday through Thursday, so plan accordingly if you want to tour the plant. The Bowling Green Hot Rods, minor league affiliate of the Tampa Bay Rays, will be in town starting on the 12th for minor league baseball fans. Also remember that Bowling Green is a great place to stay and take day trips to places like Fort Knox (gold repository and Armor Museum), the attractions of Nashville and Kentucky horse country.

Who can Attend?

Anyone who enjoys Corvette /car centered activities or just cruising around beautiful southern Kentucky north central Tennessee with friends and new acquaintances.

Who is sponsoring CruiseFest?

CruiseFest is an unsponsored activity organized by Corvette Action Center forum participants, Catbert and others.. Corvette Action Center management has not organized nor underwritten any of the activities, and is not responsible for any aspect of CruiseFest.

What are the costs of CruiseFest and participation?

There are no fixed costs associated with CruiseFest. Members are responsible only for their own expenses. The cost of attractions are the responsibility of each participant. Most activities are free or very reasonable.

Where will the CruiseFest be held?

We have selected a host hotel, the Country Inn and Suites, but attendees are free to choose their own lodging. The benefits of using the host hotel include a greatly reduced rate for truly superior accommodations, fitness center, in-room fridge and microwave, flat screen TVs, free breakfast, a choice of standard large room or suite at a reasonable additional cost. The major advantage of the host hotel is the opportunity to "hang" with other attendees to plan the day's activities. With the no set agenda format, we can sit around during or after breakfast to figure out who wants to get together for the daily activities. This format worked well the last time we met in BG for CruiseFestivus in 2009.

That's great!!!!!!!! More fun activities.

Be sure to reserve your rooms early while we can get our negotiated rates.

I made my reservations at the hotel today for June 10 - 16, 2012. looking forward to seeing all my friends and new friends for the CF 2012. Now I have to see if my brother can make it also. Hope the hotel has a hose for us to wash our cars. This is a fun event, but the two day drive each way is tiring. Thanks to Catbert and the others for carrying the torch for CF for the rest of us.

Looking forward to this event. Nice to be in Bowling Green again. Seems like I was just there a couple of months ago. Oh wait, I was!!!

Barrett: You not only have to convince your brother to attend, but you will have to decide which RED car to bring!

While driving to CruiseFest, please be sure to SAVE the WAVE!

Gregory,

Convincing my brother is more difficult than chosing the RED corvette I will bring. He is not retired, so his work schedule usually dictates whether he will attend. By mid June, I should have all 3 out of storage, and all 3 are lobbying for the trip. The 08 has not returned to BG since it's birth. The other two have returned, so the 08 will be coming either in June or to the NCM Anniversay Celebration next August.
