They wouldn’t be able to get Beech Bend and Sloan for that weekend. There are much bigger conventions every weekend down there. I am working the Tri Five National next weekend. 3000 cars and 10,000 people. CamaroFest is one of the smallest conventions.

But we're definitely one of the largest for a single make and model.

That is always good news hey if it works and it seems the location is very accommodating as well as the local hotels. It's a no brainer IMHO to keep it in BG I enjoyed it I will be back. Like I said it’s a big undertaking those who never have put on an event like this have no clue how involved it is and the front end costs.

I’ve lived here all my life. It can snow in October. October 19th is the earliest we have had measurable snow. That was in 1989. In 1993 we had 1.5” on Halloween.

It really is a year long endeavor and I can't tell you how many times I've asked myself why the hell am I doing this. Huge stresser and the fun part is pretty much gone for me now, but as long as folks keep supporting and coming Mr. Wyndham and I will keep this freight train rolling. Someday we will have it on autopilot and get back to having more fun and we're getting there. Sunday night after it was all over was a blast and a large group stayed up past 3am. Other than that I miss really getting to chat with folks like yourself and others I've met over the years. Changing locations is nuts re-inventing the wheel and establishing contacts when you have every single piece of the puzzle in BG that no other place has. That being said I really would like to do different locations just for the change of scenery. We will keep trying...

We already had one couple get married at CFest.... and our engine rev two years ago was right in the middle of another Camaro owners wedding at the Bowling Green convention center. They came out and joined the party after.

Here's the wedding announcement.

Better yet, have the 'reception' at CFest! Talk about a blowout for a wedding!
