Ok, so this was my first Camarofest. I was not fond of having to pay $40 for the 2 of us for 1 day since I could only be there Friday. Turnout of cars seemed kinda light, but a guy I was talking to said there were a bunch still at the hotel. This was around 2:00 PM on Fri. Saw only a handful of non-C5 other gens. I guess more cars will show up Sat. But what I was really disappointed in was the turnout of vendors.
I expected a parking lot filled with aisle after aisle of vendors. I thought there would be multiple places for me to be comparing prices and selections of stuff. It was basically 3 small aisles of vendors with not much selection. I was really disappointed. I thought I would be coming home with splashguards, floor mats, keychains, a bunch of accessories, a pile of different T-shirts, etc. All I came home with was one T-shirt (which I could have gotten online for the same price) and a bottle of Adams detailer. Good thing I bought the detailer or it would have been "I went to Camarofest, and all I got was this lousy T-shirt"
Maybe I am just used to the big antique car shows like Hershey, Iola, and Auburn where you can spend days going through parking lots filled with countless aisles of vendors. But if this is a normal turnout for Camarofest, this will be my last one. With all the stuff available for C5's online and in catalogs, I just expected to see way more of it there.
