63 - 67 Sting Ray Registry
Corvettes at Carlisle is changing. We had almost half of our parking spaces filled on Thursday and on Friday only a few spaces were left vacant. Many of our members spent both days visiting many of the vendors and coming back with parts they had been looking for.
Saturday started in the dark with parking cars in the Registry Row. It wasn’t long before the entire row was filled and the excitement level was high. As each car came in, they received a Ballot for our Peoples Choice car show.
Celebrity Choice judges were out on the field shortly after 10:00 am.
At 3:00 the “20th Anniversary Celebration" began. Registry members all gathered under the tent.
To help make our 20th Anniversary special many vendors contributed to our door prizes this year. Thank you for your generosity!
A 20th Anniversary cake was displayed on the table for all to enjoy after our meeting. Thanks to Jodi with Carlisle Events for refrigerating it until 3:00. It made our 20th year very special.
To help us celebrate the last 20 years we asked everyone to send us, when they get home, a “memory/memories” they have of the Registry. We will include them in the write-up we do for the website after this show.
Carlisle Events celebrated the 50th Anniversary of the 1967 Corvette with a special display. The following members from the 63-67 Sting Ray Registry had their ‘67s selected to be part of this special display:
Peter Asacker, Tom Bello, Richard Brodbeck (2 cars), William Covolus, Kenneth Glover, David Hornung, Pat Mahanes, Dennis & Cindy Manire, Tom Mulligan, and Pete Womack. Congratulations!

At the end Lance Miller (co-owner of Carlisle Events) visited us to announce that the 63-67 Sting Ray Registry had won 1st place for Club participation this year. He presented us with a nice banner and a photo was taken.
Then a very special time was had by all as we enjoyed our chocolate/raspberry cake.
