Default Chicago Crew: Where's the Cruise Nites?

I'm fairly new to the Naperville area and was wondering where cruise nites are held. I've heard there are gatherings in Bolingbrook (Bono's), Lemont and Downers Grove, but I don't know when or where they're held. Will someone please help me out.

Join the Chicago crew at city club and I am sure someone will tell you more of the usual spots.

Chicago crew: friendly bunch of vett people. Not a club (NO fees/membership) and everyone is welcome.

I live in Lemont and the cruise night here is Wednesday nights. The Vette night is HUGE. If you check out the Lemont website it tells you which cars are featured on which nights. It's not updated yet but here's the link.http://www.lemont.il.us/

Thanks for the feedback, but can you please be more specific. Where are on what night are the cruise nites happening?

Try Stowe Auto body's web site for car show/cruise night info.
It is early so more will show up.

When the season starts, the Downers Grove cruise nights are every Friday night, just drive down Main street across the rail road tracks and you should find it no problemo...

Biker -

Just join in on the fun! Anytime, anywhere! Good group of guys and gals that just like to hang, talk cars and have fun. Here's the link to the Wednesday night cruises in Elmhurst - don't miss the 2 Vette nights!

http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show....php?t=1306807

Also, here are a few "events" you don't want to miss if you can make it-

Memorial Day weekend (actually Wed before through Sat/Sun) in Bowling Green, KY - Corvette Forum Cruise-In. About 15-20 cars from the area caravan down for the "party"

Bloomington Gold in June - St. Charles, IL

Mid-America FunFest in September - Effingham, IL

(the last two being 2 of the largest Vettes gatherings in the country)
