th of July, the first guests arrived at registration. By days end, 123 cars would be checked in for Corvette Weekend.
Friday evening, everyone gathered at the Event Center for a Meet & Greet, that featured Food, Drink and a Blindfold Golf Cart Race in the parking lot.
Fairly early, it was off to bed to rest up for Saturday.
Early morning Saturday, all our weekend cars plus four "drive ons" gathered at Riverside Park, on the banks of the beautiful Rogue River for the Show & Shine, a Funkhana and a great Barbeque lunch. Then it was off on the Poker Run that followed back roads to the Del Rio Winery, and then on to the Valley Of The Rogue State Park, for the second card stop and a picture shoot of each car. (The complimentary photos were available for pickup that evening at the party.) Then it was on through the town of Rogue River and out the Evans Valley, eventually ending up back at the Event Center.
Next on the busy schedule was the Jet Boat Dinner Cruise. A four hour trip on the Rogue River, through the Hellgate Canyon, and back to the OK Corral for a great dinner.
After returning to the hotel, and a brief chance to dry off, it was over to the Event Center for Music, Karaoke, Dancing and Raffle Prizes. And then, briefly, to bed.
Sunday morning was the Awards Presentation. Following breakfast, the last of the raffle prizes were awarded, including a One Day School, provided by Spring Mountain Advanced Driving School. Then the trophies were presented, capped off by the presentation of a check for $2,500 to our charity, Candlelighter’s For Kids with Cancer. www.4kidswithcancer.org
