AROC National Convention 2011 Caravan

Join NYAROC as we caravan to the National Alfa Romeo Owners Club 2011 Convention to be held in Lexington, Kentucky, July 10th – 17th, 2011.  Listed in the National Geographic Traveler's "50 Best Places of a Lifetime", Kentucky's famed Bluegrass Region is not to be missed.  Lexington is at the heart of this region of rare beauty, while the area is dotted with charming small towns and attractions to explore.  Whether your interests are Civil War sites, historic homes, bourbon distilleries, folk art and crafts, hiking, antiques, horse farms, museums, art galleries, or memorable dining, the Bluegrass Region has a wealth of attractions to discover.

Alfas in the Bluegrass actually kicks off July 10th with Alfa Touring, a pre-convention tour through the beautiful Bluegrass and Ohio River Vally countryside.  Plan on AROC convention activities with a distinctive Bluegrass and Southern hospitality flair.  Whether you are looking forward to experiencing the region, winning the concours, racing in competitive driving events, or just relaxing with old and new friends, Alfas in the Bluegrass has the bases covered.  We are diligently working to ensure that your visit and the Alfas in the Bluegrass AROC Convention will be among the most enjoyable and memorable ever.
