In just a few more days, (November 17-18, 2007), we’ll be among the countries finest Chevrolet’s, Corvettes and the very best related Vendors in the world…and this is seriously no lie!
Nearly 400,000 square feet of exhibit space in Rosemont’s Donald E. Stephens Convention Center will be overflowing, and that is a LOT of space. (I know, I was in the building today going over some details with my Event Coordinator and walking the floors!). It seems that nearly everyone is pumped about our return to Rosemont. The phones have been ringing off the hook with excited participants and spectators alike.

We have received even MORE awesome donations for our very first Benefit Silent Auction which takes place Saturday and Sunday with bids closing each day at 4pm. Tom Bauer donated some beautiful vintage license plates, Stardust Productions Marian Grey is kicking in an On-Site color portrait of your car and we have some fantastic Sports Memorabilia too! Glassworks own Joe Chernay has locked in the all the final details with Duane Mayer of American Hot Rod, and Duane is excited about joining us Saturday. Remember, Duane is doing this at his OWN EXPENSE to help spread the word about Inflammatory Brest Cancer Awareness, (IBCARF) and we certainly appreciate that! Be sure to stop by, get an autograph and picture and say THANKS to Duane and to Joe and his crew too!
