Immediate NEWS Release
National Corvette homecoming to return in 2018
37th annual event will be May 31-June 2 at the Hilton Garden Inn
Bowling Green, KY., February 21, 2018– It’s “back to the future” for one of the area’s longest-running automotive shows. The National Corvette Homecoming began 37 years ago in the parking lot of the Red Carpet Inn. In 2018, the Homecoming celebration will reinvent itself in the parking lot of the Hilton Garden Inn.
Joe Pruitt, founder and owner of the National Corvette Homecoming, had announced in 2017 his intent to sell the show, but he has decided to rev it up for another year. This year, the Homecoming is May 31-June 2.
“I didn’t want to see the National Corvette Homecoming die,” he said. “I tried to sell it to about three different organizations, but we could not get together. I am going to run it as long as I can. I’ll see if we can get someone else to take it over rather than let it die or go away.”
Planning for the 2018 event is underway, and updates will be shared at CorvetteHomecoming.com and on the event’s Facebook page. Pruitt said prices will be lower for participants this year, and spectators will be admitted free.
The National Corvette Homecoming is one of the oldest car shows in the country, and at one time, it was one of the largest.
“I feel a lot better than when I made the decision to sell it,” Pruitt said. “Hosting the National Corvette Homecoming has been a lot of fun, and I am not ready to stop having fun.”

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.
