I am going back to my old stomping grounds and hoping to take some fellow club members with me to represent the NVCC at the 16th Annual 'Vettes at the Beach. This is the "flagship" show of the Northeast...last year close to 500 vettes were in attendance! Two of our club members have won awards at this show in the past. Clubs from all around the country come to this show, including those from our own region who plan the annual Skyline Cruises we enjoy. We have had vettes from as far away as Alaska at the show!
This show is put on by the Syracuse Corvette Club and is a non-judged, people's choice show. Excellent goodie bags, dash plaques, 50/50 raffles, door prizes, vendors, trophies, and corvette camaraderie while seeing many vettes, old and new, modded or stock, at their finest. You will see many rare Corvettes at this show. The weather is usually very nice, with temps in the 70s/80s and is a short walk to beautiful Sylvan Beach. We park up against the water, making for some fantastic photo opportunities. See the surf and sand along with some hot cars! Their ultimate goals? Raising money for charities and bringing together the owners of the coolest American made sports car...the Chevrolet Corvette!
We will be heading up the day before the show (Saturday, 7/25). The plan is to leave at 9AM and stop in Hazelton, PA at Friendly's for lunch. We can take some short breaks as needed...please bring your family radios and cell phones. When we arrive, we'll check into our hotel rooms, relax a bit, and then have a group dinner out at a very nice steak house across the street (walking distance), Justin's Grill.
Early Sunday morning (7/26) is the show, my dad will be joining us with his yellow '87 coupe and will lead us to the show site. We will park, have breakfast together at The Pancake House, clean up our cars and enjoy the show. In the afternoon, we will have lunch at Harpoon Eddie's and enjoy the show some more (awards will take place at the end). After the show, we will partake of some social evening activities at Dinosaur BBQ (http://www.dinosaurbarbque.com/) and leave the next morning (7/27).
The host hotels for this event is Microtel Inn, Hampton Inn, or Holiday Inn off of Carrier Circle (Old Collamer Road) in East Syracuse, NY. These are all within walking distance as the area is a travel hub, so you can stay where you'd like. Best rates can often be found at www.expedia.com (http://www.expedia.com/). Your check-in date is Sat. 7/25 and check-out date is Mon. 7/27.
