Drive Your Corvette To Work Day!
2018-06-29
June 29th marks the 18th Annual Drive Your Corvette To Work Day, sponsored by Mid America Motorworks. To celebrate Drive Your Corvette To Work Day, enthusiasts across the United States are encouraged to make “America’s Sports Car” their commuter car for the day. Every year, the Friday closest to June 30 – the day the first Corvette rolled off the assembly line in 1953 in Flint, Mich. – is chosen to observe Drive Your Corvette To Work Day.
Mid America Motorworks promotes Drive Your Corvette To Work Day among Corvette owners and clubs. The goal is to have as many Corvette owners as possible drive their car to work that day. Launched in 2001, Mid America Motorworks’ Drive Your Corvette To Work Day is an annual event celebrated by thousands of Corvette owners worldwide.
FOR THOSE OF US WHO ARE RETIRED…… JUST GET OUT AND DRIVE YOUR CORVETTE SOME PLACE FUN!!!!!!

JULY 4 PARADE - CLIFTON PARK

The Clifton Park 4th of July Parade kicks off at noon from the Shenendehowa School parking lot just off Rt 146 West of Exit 9 on the Northway. You will see all the Corvettes lining up straight in from 146.
We try to get there between 11 and 1130am.
After the parade we head up to the ‘Mill’ on Route 9, between Exits 10 and 11 of the Northway for a late lunch. We should arrive there about 1:30pm.
At the parade lineup I will be asking again who is interested in stopping to eat and will call The Mill to let them know.
Decorate your car, bring water, and maybe a chair to sit in under the trees while waiting to get started.
We usually a good turnout of Corvettes!

As promised, here are the details for Vettes at the Beach — an all Corvette Car Show at Sylvan Beach, NY. If you haven’t been there before, you should really consider trying it at least once — it is a wonderful show right on Oneida Lake. Sometimes there are as many as 500 Corvettes at the show! It’s in this charming town with a few nice places to eat all nicely surrounding a village green and there’s a great ice cream shop for a sweet treat in the afternoon!

Some people make a weekend of it, but many of us are planning to caravan out there on Sunday just for the day. It’s about an hour and a half from our meeting point, straight out the Thruway. Here are the specifics about where we’re meeting up (for those of you who have joined us in the past, take note — the meet-up location is different)

Date: Sunday, July 29
Time: meet at 7:15 AM, leaving at 7:30 AM
Meeting Place: NYS Thruway Pattersonville Travel Plaza between exits 26 and 27 heading West (mile post 168)
The show ends at 4PM. Generally, the parking is such that you’ll be able to leave before 4PM if you want to. We don’t usually all caravan home after the show.

After caravanning to Sylvan Beach, we generally all park together in the area by the Gazebo — it’s a perfect spot. Here is a link for additional details.

2018 CORVETTES BY THE SEA — August 5, 2018
We are very proud to announce that CCRI will be returning to the same beautiful Venue that we showcased 2 years ago, for our 48th annual Corvettes By The Sea event. If you were one of the 240 Corvettes who attended last year I am sure you will agree that it would be difficult to find a more appropriate location for a Corvettes by the Sea event.
The property is the Scalabrini Villa Skilled Nursing & Rehabilitation Center, located at 860 N. Quidnessett Rd, North Kingstown, RI 02852. This is a satellite view of the property. The satellite allows you to view the grassy area between the buildings and the spectacular view of the Bay.
They have graciously offered the use of this beautiful location for our show and their only request is that their patients and their family members be able to browse and enjoy the beautiful cars in attendance.
As always, our Corvettes by the Sea Annual Show will be sure to please:
*Great Food
*Entertaining Music
*Beautiful views of Narragansett Bay
* Non judged Show W/Trophies
*Great company and best of all…..
The MOST BEAUTIFUL CORVETTES AROUND!
