NCH For Sale
To All Our Loyal Participants:
I have told many of our friends and participants over the years that as long as mine and Vera's health holds up, we would continue to do National Corvette Homecoming. However, in the last four years, I have had four major surgeries, and recently a hip replacement and now Vera is looking to have a knee replaced.
Each surgery has taken a little more of me both mentally and physically, and at age 74 (and not 34 anymore), I think I have realized that I have more summers behind me than before me. So reluctantly, I have decided that National Corvette Homecoming is for sale, and if a buyer is not found within 30-60 days, I will be shutting down this chapter of our lives. It has been one heck of a ride for the past 16 years, and there have been many ups and downs-more ups than downs.
We have met some of the finest people you would ever want to meet. You have come from all corners of the world-our United States, Canada, New Zealand, Sweden and many more places that are too numerous to mention. We have enjoyed growth throughout the 16 years; we have made some wrong decisions, but more right than wrong, I believe. We, also, feel that, over the years, we have continued to improve and make the show better, and that is why it has taken me as long as it has to come to the decision to sell or close the show.
We would like to thank each and every participant, vendors, and especially our dedicated volunteers for without them, we could not have prepared and 'put on the show for so long. If anyone is interested in buying the show, call me at (270) 791-2117, and I well be glad to discuss everything that is included.
Sincerely
Joe & Vera

What is the National Corvette Homecoming?Many years ago, a newspaper called me to give them my perspective on what National Corvette Homecoming was. I first mentioned vendors that had different kinds of new and used Corvette merchandise, they had a fashion show for the ladies, they had seminars to teach you to care for your Corvette, and at the time they had drag racing, an all-Corvette parade, and a lot of other things to do during the day. But, one of the most important things you do at Homecoming is you come back each year to see how your friends are doing and if they have traded or added to their Corvette collection. As with any brand of car - you buy it, you take it to a show, you meet old friends and make new friends, and it turns out to be the people that brings you to most of your destinations. That is what I believe Homecoming is all about.
