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!
If you are interested in going to this event, please contact Cathy Musselwhite: email cathdan48@gmail.com

FLAG DAY - 2018
2018-06-14
The official Flag Day observance is on June 14th of each year. Flag Day is a time to respect the flag, to celebrate its origin, and to honor those who created the first flag. The flag flies over the United States to remind us that we are one nation, a nation under God; to remind us that we are a nation that is indivisible; and to remind us each day of those who fought to protect all who live within this nation. Written by Francis Bellamy, The Pledge of Allegiance states clearly the pledge to the flag and to the nation: I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

SARATOGA FLAG DAY PARADE
2018-06-09 10:30 - 12:30
We just received directions for our participation in the Saratoga parade on this Saturday, June 9. This is one of the biggest parades in the area, and well-attended, so dig out your car flags and come join us. Here is what you need to know:
We are staging in the 5th Division and lining up on the EAST side of 1st Street, not where we were last year. Set your GPS for 30 1st Street, Saratoga Springs (it may also be listed as Gansevoort on some) and we should be near there. It may be easier to approach from East Avenue instead of North Broadway.
They want us to arrive between 10:30 and no later than 11:00. That will give you time to walk around and see the mansions on North Broadway or shops downtown. The parade starts at noon. Don’t drink too much coffee, as there are no bathrooms near us!
City ordinance prohibits tossing candy from our cars.
At the end of the parade, instead of turning into Congress Park with the marchers, we will head straight south on Broadway. You will probably be hungry, so join us at the 13 North restaurant, 2955 US 9, Malta, across from the Mobil station at the red light, about 4 miles out of town. You can turn left at the light onto Choke Cherry Road and enter from the back.
The parade is “rain or shine”, but the weather looks good. If you get lost, look for someone wearing a yellow vest, or just ask around.
Hope to see lots of VIPERS there!
