The last weekend of June is long past and fall is on its way. THANK YOU to all that attended, whether you own, repair/restore, or just love Corvettes, as well as our vendors, sponsors, and dedicated judges, volunteers and staff. We hope you had as much fun as we did. What a great show this year! The final year of the Great Hall was Guy Larsen, President impressive. On the grounds there were more vendors again this year and we had a 20% increase in the number of Corvettes being judged! On Saturday night, the annual Gold Tour topped 1,000 Vettes for a great ride through the countryside! Certification and Survivor Judging was a great success and 13 Corvettes achieved the Benchmark Award! Congratulations to all participants. Lastly, a big Thank You to the County of Champaign for their support and hospitality! We look forward to seeing everyone the last weekend of June, 2015! Guy Larsen, President

BLOOMINGTON GOLD
Greetings Gold Members, Current and Future! The 2014 Show is now a fond memory in the bank of wonderful Corvette related experiences. We had a terrific turnout in 2014 and our location on the Show Grounds was once again prime! It was great to see all the members in their GoldMember polos throughout the weekend. We are already planning for 2015 and will be making a number of changes, including increased security to access the tent as well as a full time hostess and…ventilation! While I can’t promise an air conditioned tent, I can promise an artificially generated breeze. While membership already includes one guest, we are adding a family option for those of you that make Bloomington Gold your summer destination. If you have any other suggestions, please don’t hesitate to email me. Enjoy the Fall foilage as you drive your Vette through the countryside, Jocelyn
