Thirdgen Fest is located every Memorial Day weekend in Crete, IL. It is the world's biggest and longest running 82-92 Camaro/Firebird event. It brings in cars from around the midwest and Canada and lots of local cars are here every year as well.

Re: Chicago Area
Have any of you guys have been to the village of plainfield's weekly car cruise/show? It's every tuesday along the main street through the shopping/business area. I've been there a couple of times and it was always a good turn out, plus you can also stop in the local watering hole for a nice refreshing pop!
We should all meet up there sometime before the weather goes south.

Re: Chicago Area
South Side here, about 15 mins from Midway. Less actually. I see a few third gens around here.
I hope to get the 86 out for 100% of next summer. Expect me in TGF for sure in 2012.

Re: Chicago Area
Every saturday there is a meet at a place called Strats, its in Villa Park. 231 E North Ave right off 83. Usually show up around 7pm. There is quite a bit of third gens that show up. I will show up in the next couple weeks. I am finishing getting my C5 brake set-up on the car so I can drive her. I will let everyone know when I am going to be heading out that way. Hopefully some of you can come. I would like to meet some of you guys on here.
