Default you've waited all year for this... and it's very near!!! Ohio

the annual Restoration Station "Fall Colors All-Corvette Road Tour" in Springboro Ohio. Last year, 199 Corvettes attended; with many early models taking the road tour as well.

ref: http://www.restoration-station.com/road_tour.htm

This year it will be held on Sunday October 19th.
Official arrival time is 1pm, but it's always advantageous to arrive a little early. Then around 1:30pm Jeff will give us the details of this years Road Tour. Departure for the beautiful countryside drive will start around 2pm. The caravan arrives back to The Restoration Station for refreshments, and Corvette owners camaraderie (that IMO adds the icing to the cake).

Here is last years YouTube video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NW4gur3qea0

How to get invited to the event ??? That's an easy one;
your Corvette is the admission ticket

I talked with Jeff (the owner of The Restoration Station) and he hopes to beat last years numbers. And like last year, this event is being co-sponsored by Scacchetti Wealth Management Group... and there's something new; as you first arrive - turning onto Hiawatha heading towards The Restoratrion Station - you will be handed a pen and a registration form. Once you park, fill out the form and take it to a table located in the companies parking lot. There you will be handed your route map. The registration forms will be used later in the day for DOOR PRIZES

I've got the request in for the day off. I don't see any reason why it won't be approved. I should be there It's a lot of fun I've done it in the past

I haven't been able to make any of the monthly meetings at Milanos or any of them for that matter but I'm going to try and make this one.
You said get there early! What's early 12:00?

The past few years there has been a caravan to the event arranged by the Dayton peeps.

I have to get there earlier, so I can't be the one to set this up (assuming it's needed).
