The 2018 Corvette Funfest is officially underway.

The annual celebration of all things Corvette is hosted each year by Mike and Laurie Yager and Mid America Motorworks. This is the 25th annual Funfest.

Activities are scheduled through 8:00 tonight around the Courthouse Museum square in downtown Effingham. Live music, various food items, artisans and hundreds of Corvettes are among the attractions.

The Welcome Party is sponsored each year by the City of Effingham Tourism Office.

The Corvettes arrived downtown about 5:15pm following the annual Fun Run Road Tour. The remainder of the weekend's activities will be headquartered at the Mid America Motorworks headquarters on North Route 45. Most of the activities for the weekend will not only be for the Corvette enthusiasts in town but the general public, as well.
