June 14 Appleton Flag Day Parade
The 74th annual Appleton Flag Day Parade was blessed with great weather.
This year marked the 41st year the club has participated in the parade. The parade
got off to a rough start for us as Dick Rank’s car failed to run when the parade started,
so we ended up with 9 cars in the parade. The crowd was estimated to be over 50,000 people
and let us know how much they appreciated the corvettes. The branch of the military honored
this year was United States Marine Corps and Navy. After the parade, we cruised over to
Mark’s East Side Supper Club for some great food and socializing. We would like to say a
“BIG THANK YOU” to all the club members who participated in making this a great event.
We also want to thank Mark’s East Side for providing great food and service.
Hosts: Valerie & Gary
June 7 Little Chute Cheese Festival Parade
The weather was perfect with a sunny and warm day, which brought out a record crowd for the parade. The tencorvettes excited the crowd during the entire parade route. After the parade, we cruised over to the Outpost Pub & Grill in Sherwood for lunch and socializing. We would like to give a BIG Thank You to all who participated in this event with us. We would also like to thank The Outpost for the great tasting food and fantastic service.
Hosts: Valerie & Gary
May 6 Breakfast
What a beautiful day to be at Mama D's in Freedom. Twenty members gathered with their corvettes or tin cars for a new breakfast location. We arrived just before 9:00am to a full house of other family parties. Thinking we would have to wait for service was a non-issue. Needed to add more tables twice to our group. Owner Donna Wall and waitress, Lisa, took all our orders by 9:05am with continuous refills of coffee. With the menu having a wide selection of items, everyone commented the food was delicious. Some portions large enough that a number of members could even take some home. Lively conversations all around with the warmth of friends being together. Thanks to all who attended.
Hosts: Gary & Jean Brandt
