After the parade there were wine tours/tasting/BBQ's all around the lake, ending up at the Riviera Hills restaurant where 100 people enjoyed a relaxed dinner and a spectacular view of the lake. DeFatte Equipment, Ukiah, supplied a 20 foot man lift to get pictures of the 44 Corvettes parked "On the Green" with Clear Lake as a backdrop.

 

On Sunday morning, May 26th, we had 71 Corvettes ready for inspection on Park Street in Lakeport.

 

The all Corvette Show opened with Jackie Hansen, club Vice-President, singing the National Anthem with the Lake County Vietnam Veterans holding the Stars and Stripes.

The weather couldn't have been better both days. The Vietnam Veterans sold out of the home made ice cream they were vending/selling.

 

Just before the award ceremony, hosted by Steve Cleveland, club treasurer, a check of $3,000.00 was awarded by Sandy Thompson, club secretary, to the Lake Family Resource Center; Our club Charity.

 

This years "BEST OF SHOW" award went to a well deserving Bob Dempsey with a Black 57 Corvette that he has has for over twenty-five years, from Yuba City, Ca.
