Who is going to Bloomington Gold 2014

My wife and I are going. We're leaving NW Illinois to run the IL/IA Caravan route down to the NCM on Thursday. Friday morning we have a Plant Tour, then we'll go by the NCM, then head toward Effingham.
Saturday morning we'll drive up to Champaign and spend the day at the show, and head home after the Road Tour. We'll be sitting on the corner of the square in the little town that you turn around in. I really enjoy watching all the cars coming and going.
I think it sucks that Mecum has pulled out, although I can see where it makes sense for them. It seems a bit unexpected, so there is probably an interesting story behind it. I hope this doesn't signal the beginning of the end for BG, as I've enjoyed the show for a long time.
Be on the lookout for us!

Not sure if this is the right place for it, but Bentley Publishers will be there too. We'll have Karl Ludvigsen, Dave McLellan and Jerry Burton at our booth signing copies of their books.

Who is going to Bloomington Gold this year? From what I understand there is some construction in the area so things have been moved around this year. This year we are in Lot # 3 Booth Spaces B 315-317 & C 315-317 which is on the end of Row B & C just before the Car For Sale section. Stop by and say that you saw this post on the Forum and get a free cold one. Hope to see you all there.
It use to be the Best Vette Show,I think Carlisle now has it beat

The car was also signed by nearly every plant employee and assembly line worker, in addition to GM dignitaries.

We will be there, staying at the Marriot.
Went last year to see the new C7 and decide how I wanted to option my car. Going again this year to check out the Z06 and put my order in as soon as it opens up.
