Default Local show today

Our first static car show of the year, a couple of cruises but first proper show. We brought the only corvette in attendance.

There are some shows going on in certain localities around the country. Around here most have been canceled, but the one I 'thought' would have been canceled, turns out went on (dang) ....and I missed it! I have a buddy in another part of our state which is more rural and there have been smaller shows going on all summer. They're outdoors and people [most] keep an appropriate distance.

Glad you were able to enjoy!!

I see the Safari yellow/ or Daytona yellow for 69 is properly represented. That's the only corvette needed at a show.
We were well represented.

I feel for you. We have got a governor like that too, but we pretty much use our common sense and ignore him for the most part. Good luck.

It used to be that the people chose the elected officials. Now, the political parties choose them...and make sure they are in the 'hip pocket'...before they even get on the ticket! We are just the 'tail' trying to wag the dog..... Where do they come up with these '*****'?

Everything within 60 miles of where I live has been cancelled. I would have gone to 7 or 8 by now. There are still a couple scheduled for September that have not officially been cancelled but I doubt they will be held.

All of a sudden 8-10 hot rods and Vettes accidentally gather at local parking lots in South Louisisana?
