The annual Vette Barn "Barn Raising" is on again for 2013!! The official dates are Thursday, May 23rd thru Sunday, May 26th. Activities are schedule thru Saturday, May 25th.

This annual event gives the forum participants a chance to come together and meet in person. Those attending are Corvette enthusiasts from all walks of life with the common goal of camaraderie and fun. Any corvette enthusiast is welcome, whether you're a past owner, current owner, future owner or none of the above.

This year’s schedule has a wide variety of events. This includes seminars and on-site activities, as well as road tours - both local to Bowling Green and longer distance. Of course, the "parking lot social hours" will continue on as a tradition.

NEW FOR 2013... the Jim Beam American Stillhouse was added as part of the Friday activities. In addition, a Mammoth Cave Tour is scheduled for the first time and Beadist will "officially" be taking individual car photos.
