ATTENTION all New England Corvette Enthusiasts and 2009 Caravaners:

If you are in southern New Hampshire, Vermont, or Maine, or residing in Eastern Massachusetts or northern Rhode Island...show your "Corvette Pride" and cruise-in to Herb Chambers Chevrolet in Danvers, MA, located on RT 114, Andover Street.

Herb Chambers, Inc., one of our 2009 New England Region NCM National Corvette Caravan Sponsors, welcomes all on Sunday, August 30th, by 7:30AM to see the NE Region Caravan off to the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Kentucky in celebration of the Museum's 15th Anniversary and facility expansion.

Jim Klimas, HC General Manager, is our gracious host for this exciting event and he also invites all Corvette enthusiasts to be at the Herb Chambers Chevy Dealership on the afternoon of Saturday, August 29th, to welcome in the Canadian contingent of our Caravan led by Doug MacDonald, the Canadian Leader.

All Corvettes going to the NCM in BGKY will be put into a secure fenced area behind the dealership for overnight parking. A shuttle bus will be available for bringing people back and forth from the hotel and the dealership and eventually out to dinner. There will be a small party and dinner after the welcoming of the Canadians to our official NE Region Corvette Caravan Kick-Off Location.

SEE YOU IN DANVERS, MASSACHUSETTS!!!!!!!
