I do have some photos that will be posted today. Very surprising attendance considering the rain threat. We had over forty Vettes attend with 31 registered for the show. Many stayed through the down-pour and waited it out in the restaurant.
It was really cool to see that many Sharks gathered together at one time!
We will definitely have this show again next year and attempt to schedule it for the 2015 "Shark Week" Saturday.

Here are some pictures of the event:
1. Sharks along the River
2. One of the class winners (73-77) with his "Shark-fin" award.
3. Die-hards waiting out the down pour

We have may events and get togethers during the year and get no more than one or two C3s, where are all these cars hiding?

Keep an eye on this section, we would love for you to join us!
