Bowling Green - Day 4

We were up and at the Museum for a tour of the countryside with 68 other Corvettes.

The pictures are:
1. Cars ready for the tour at the drivers meeting.
2. The Bluegrass band and yes we enjoyed them!
3. 1954 Gold Certified and in the Museum.
4. The 2010 Grand Sport – just displayed today. Is this what Tom Hill will be driving to the show?

The trip took us up to Owensboro, KY to the Bluegrass Museum. At the Museum we were treated to an hour concert by a local bluegrass group. I must say, it was really good.

After a tour of the Museum, we then all headed to the Moonlight Barbeque Inn in town for a buffet that was pretty good. During the trip we talked to a number of the owners about Bloomington Gold and found out that a lot do not even read Corvette magazines so how could they know about Bloomington Gold.

After the trip back, we then went back to the Corvette Museum for a meeting with the New Corvette Delivery Manager and he gave approval to put a Bloomington Gold show flyer and tickets to the show in every new Corvette that they deliver! That ought to get us noticed.

Then the show at the Museum was over and it was back to the hotel to get ready for the evenings entertainment at the convention center in town, which is just across the street from our hotel. The theme of the dinner and evening is “Margaritaville” so we wore our best, most colorful outfits.

It was a fun evening and we made a number of really good contracts with the Museum and C5/C6 people.

Tomorrow is back home and we will leave about 8 in the morning for the 7 hour drive.

Hope everyone has enjoyed following our trip – it was well worth going and we can’t thank Carol and Mike Stypolkowski enough for coming with us – they are a great couple to travel with and an asset to Bloomington Gold.

See you on our blog the next trip – Barb and Ed.
