CorvetteForum Cruise-In XI Highlights: Recap and Thanks

Untitled Document

Hope everybody had a safe trip home from Bowling Green! 

The weather for this year’s event was great!  Attendance numbers were down for a variety of reasons, but the event drew a convivial group and the smaller crowd afforded me the opportunity to spend more time with people than typically would have been possible.

Some thank yous are appropriate for:

  • Roc Linkov, NCM events manager, and Karen Renfrow from the NCM events team for their work in making our visit a lot of fun.
  • Michael Nunn (HamptonBG),
    GM at the Hampton Inn, who always is very accommodating to our group. 
    This year in particular, Michael worked to make sure we?d have a food
    vendor and a beer trailer in the parking lot for Wednesday and Thursday
    nights.  Thanks also to Frank from North Carolina, the beer trailer man.
  • Adrian
    at Internet Brands, who arranged this year for us to have a set of
    Fikse wheels, some Corvetteforum ?picnic chairs? and Corvetteforum
    stickers in a variety of colors. 
  • Jim Holmes (Buckythreadkiller), the Forum’s NCM ambassador, for his work on the memorial bench for Bill Maguire (IrishMac) and to all Forum members who were so generous in their contributions toward the memorial.
  • Kathy Maguire and her family, who traveled to Bowling Green for the
    unveiling of Bill’s bench and to spend time with us during CI-XI.
  • Theresa Gardiner (TMGard), who joined us for CI-XI to continue the tradition of her late husband (ptdrummer54) in pouring shots of Dr. McGillicuddy’s Schnapps for all each night.
  • All CI-IX veterans, particularly those who maintained their perfect attendance record!
