The BlackHills Corvette Classic: July 12-16

My favorite Corvette event is happening this week in South Dakota.   It's the Black Hills Corvette Classic, sponsored by the Sioux Falls Corvette Club.  This annual event kicks off in Sioux Falls with fun activities packed into Tuesday and Wednesday culminating with Hot Summer Nights on Wednesday evening.  Hot Summer Nights is one of best downtown festivals in the country featuring Corvettes, Harley Davidson motorcycles, music, and food booths. 

On Thursday, participating Corvettes will travel together in a huge 400-car Corvette caravan on a 400 mile trip across South Dakota from Sioux Falls to Spearfish.  This is something to see, for spectators and participants alike.  The event activities continue from Thursday through Saturday at Spearfish and at various scenic areas throughout the Black Hills.  This is an awesome event.  I've attended several times over the past 8 years.  Always had a great time.

This year marks the 40th anniversary of the "BHCC."  Planned activities include Poker Runs, a picnic, an Autocross, several guided road tours, Vette Street, seminars, a BBQ, a casino crawl, and more. 

Here's the link to the official event website and schedule of activities:  http://www.blackhillscorvetteclassic.com/

My husband and I will be heading to Sioux Falls early on Wednesday morning to attend the event.  Hot Summer Nights--here we come!  See you there.
