After much planning and a LOT of help from @Norsky (which I very much appreciate!) the agenda for 2026 has been set!
Also some gratitude to Mike (@Mtaxman ) who lives in the area and also from John Horn, president of Colonial Corvette Club who offer some tips to help us with planning.
EVENT DATES: Thursday April 30, 2026 through Saturday, May 2, 2026.
EVENT LOCATION: Williamsburg, VA
Being that we are expecting a pretty large group (70+) we have decided to have multiple options for much of the agenda. This is to give people more choices in hopes of having something that appeals to everyone, also keep the groups/caravans more manageable and to keep things simple with out much (if any) prepaying for tickets or having to RSVP for things. Though, there may be some separate RSVPs that will be needed, and I'll add those if/when they are needed. I just wanted to get the agenda out so folks can have an idea what we have in store for you!
There are a couple times when we will be together as a full group: Friday Morning, Saturday Morning and Saturday evening.
Please click on links for each site to give you an idea of what each location has to offer and any costs that may be associated with them.
Please reply to this thread with any questions you have so far.
Some important links to other details:
- General Info and who is planning to attend If you plan to attend, make sure your name is on this list!
- Hotel info - book your room ASAP if you haven't yet!

@Adam Wartell and @Norsky , THANK YOU both so much!! This looks great, and I can empathize with the amount of planning required to get this assembled. Really looking forward to the event and getting to see so many of my friends, old and new!!
I wanted a Corvette my whole life, but I never dreamed of all the wonderful people I would meet because of it!

Thanks for the kudos on putting the agenda together, but can't take all the credit. Had some assistance from Mike (Mtaxman) who lives in the area and also from John Horn, president of Colonial Corvette Club. Hope it all lives up to everyone's expectations...!!!
