63-67 Sting Ray Registry Row at Corvettes at Carlisle 2023 – 26 years and going strong!!
This year’s show was a mixture of sun and rain. Long time Corvettes at Carlisle attendees are not surprised. We’ve endured hot sunny days, rain, worldwide pandemic, tornado’s and an occasional hurricane. We keep coming back because we LOVE this Event and the people we have come to see.
On Friday, Carlisle Events was still counting but it looked like we were going to break another record of Corvettes registered with over 3,000. We are all so happy to be part of this great yearly event. A BIG thanks to Lance, Bill, Bill Jr. and Jodi and the entire Corvettes at Carlisle team for making this show so special to so many.
On Friday, we held our Annual Meeting under the big tent. Denny and I announced a few things:
1) Going forward, we do plan on attending Corvettes at Carlisle every year that we physically can. We may be here without a Corvette but we plan on being here. The Website and all Registrations will still be processed through us and our webmaster.
2) Frank and Coleen Anderson have volunteered to assist us onsite in PA. If there is a year we are unable to attend, they will coordinate and manage the Row in our absence. Many of you know Frank and Coleen, so please visit them and pass on your thanks for stepping into this role.
