This show began as a place for Corvette owners and gearheads to come together for a day to get reacquainted with old friends meet new folks and share a passion for the automobile. The event quickly grew into a huge cruise-in that fills up a large portion of downtown Linesville, PA.

Yogi Bair, his wife Jean, son Brian and the staff at Bair’s Corvettes have proudly been serving the Corvette community for over 50 years. From large and small pieces and parts all the way to full frame-off restorations, Bair’s Corvettes has become a go-to place for customers around the country.

But, one Saturday in May everything changes. Cars and trucks of just about every imaginable make and model begin pulling in early in the morning to get a “preferred” parking space. The event is billed as rain or shine and that has held true in past years. The weather for the 15th Annual Corvette & Classic Car Cruise-In and Open House was pretty much perfect. Proceeds from the show benefitted the Hospice of Crawford County & Lakeland-Valley Regional Senior Community Center.

There was a 50/50 raffle and a separate raffle for a custom “Corvette” quilt. That was kind of special! The Linesville Rotary was set up behind the shop to feed anyone who was hungry and a Pasta & Meatball Dinner was available over at the Senior Center. I opted for the pasta and I certainly did not head home hungry

You could find some of the Vette offerings in the shop office and one of the buildings had a piece by piece Corvette on display along with some kool hunting trophies. Another building held some of the Bair car collection including a Camaro and Chevelle plus a 1966 Corvette Convertible “Barn Find” that had sat outside for 40 years. See it just as it was found!

There is plenty of open space and nearly of it is on grass. There was an excellent mix of vehicles to gaze over even if you were not into Corvettes.

The 16th Annual Corvette & Classic Car Cruise-In and Open House is scheduled for 11:00 AM – 4:00 PM on May 21, 2022. If you have never been to Yogi’s show, you need to think hard about putting this one on your schedule. If you have been here before, well, you already know what to do. It all happens in Linesville, PA just north of the Pymatuning Reservoir Spillway (you know – “Where the ducks walk on the fish!”) Hey, that’s actually true! Check it out on your way to or from the show.
