Updated 2/11/09 Ohio, Eastern Kentucky, Western PennsylvaniaALL NATIONAL CORVETTE CARAVAN PARTICIPANTS: The finishing touches on the Ohio leg of the National Corvette Caravan are almost complete. It is certainly enjoyable to see such enthusiasm this early in the game! The Ohio Corvette Club Alliance will spearhead the Ohio activities. The Alliance is comprised of 9 Corvette clubs from around Ohio that support each other and have a great history of organization, management and follow through, as well as, hosting the largest All Corvette Show in Ohio in July each year in Lancaster, Ohio. Darel Bono, from the Corvettes of Hamilton Corvette Cub, has agreed to serve as the Ohio Co-Captain, as he did in 2003. Other Ohio Corvette clubs involved include: Capital City, Chosen Few, Classic Glass, Corvettes of Lancaster, Cross Flags, National Road, Central Ohio Corvette Owners, and the Southern Ohio Corvette Club(s). The Board of Director of the Alliance, individual club officers and members of all of the Alliance clubs will have a role in the 2009 Caravan. The Alliance will organize a "Roundup" in Columbus, Ohio on Wednesday, September 2, 2009, the day before our arrival date in Bowling Green. That event will start at 4-5:00 p.m. If you are in Ohio and do not belong to an Alliance club, write us on the Caravan Chat list (sign up link below), or at OhioCaravan09@att.net and we can discuss what you and your club can do to make this Caravan the best ever.
