Whether you have made the bash a part of your regularly attended shows each year or if you have never attended an NCM event before, you will want to be a part of the 12th Annual C5/C6 Bash April 23-25! This year’s bash is the first event of the season held at the Museum and the activities planned are everything you want in a Corvette event!

The event kicks off on Thursday, April 23 with two scenic road tours including a drive to the heart of bluegrass music in Western Kentucky for a tour of the International Bluegrass Museum and lunch a world-renown Moonlight BBQ. If you enjoy browsing for collectible antiques then you will want to be sure and sign up for the Antique and Crafts road tour. These fascinating tours are limited to a specific number of participants and are “drive your Corvette” tours. If you are arriving on Thursday, you will want to make one of these a part of your event selection when registering.

Thursday’s activities also include a “digital scavenger hunt” on and within NCM grounds. Bring your camera cell phone or digital camera to shoot a photo of the clue you are looking for!

Friday's festivities are jam packed with everything from seminars to poker runs! The Corvette Customer assistance team will be on-hand to discuss factory warranty and other customer related issues and you will want to place your bids early as part of the bidding war during the silent auction offered on Friday and Saturday. Through a special arrangement we will again host a Corvette Quality Clinic for owners of 2008 and 2009 Corvettes. If you own a 2009 and want to take part, send your contact information, VIN and mileage to Karen Renfrow .

There are several informative seminars that will take place in the Chevrolet Theater on Friday including a seminar by Tadge Juechter and Harlan Charles as they introduce the 2010 Corvettes as well as a special unveiling in the front circle! Be sure to keep your eyes on the agenda for more information. You can also find out more than you can imagine about your C5 at the C5 Repair and Maintenance seminar to help you extend the life of your 5th Gen Corvette. Be a part of the event group photo, autograph session and Golf cart Autocross to take in all the event has to offer. We invite you to set aside some time in the late afternoon for an in depth look at the new expansion hosted by NCM team members.
