Portland, OR -- (SBWire) -- 06/22/2009 -- Bloomington Gold, held from Thursday, June 25, through Sunday, June 28, in St. Charles, Illinois is one of the most celebrated of Corvette gatherings, with thousands of enthusiasts taking part in the Gold Certification program, tours, auction, and special exhibits.

CM Publisher Keith Martin has been invited to be the emcee of the Certification Process (the first time there has been a commentator at this event), to repeat his role as emcee of the awards ceremony, and to be the emcee of the Survivor Car show to be held on Sunday.

This year marks Bloomington Gold's 37th show. Bloomington Gold is the longest running continuous national Corvette show, and it has set the standard by which other Corvette events are measured. Corvette Market will have two booths, where fans can order subscriptions, renew their existing subscriptions, and purchase books and other Corvette Market and Sports Car Market memorabilia. The booths will be placed at the Gold Marketplace and at the Survivor Show on the golf course. They will be manned by Publisher Martin, his wife Wendie, and other members of the CM gang from 9am to 5pm Friday, June 26, through Sunday, June 28.

Bloomington Gold is held June 25-28 at the Pheasant Run Resort in St. Charles, Illinois.
