Fall Show and Shine Highlights
The El Paso Corvette Club conducted it's Fall Show and Shine on 8 October, 2022 to benefit the Salvation Army. The weather wanted to be a factor as the day started out with rain and wind, but once the Corvettes started rolling in to the Applebee's parking lot, Mother Nature took a break and gave us a beautiful day! There were twelve Corvettes for the show and two open show entries. Some of our friends from West Texas Vettes were able to cruise in later in the day. Many local folks stopped in to walk around a look at all of the awesome rides. A big thanks to all the club members that volunteered to work at the event and to those who provided gifts for the raffle. You made this event not only possible but very enjoyable as well.

CHRISTMAS CRUISE HIGHLIGHTS
It was a beautiful day and a great turnout for our end of the year Christmas Cruise to Old Mesilla and stuffed animal drive for the El Paso Children’s Hospital. We cruised down historic HWY 28 to Old Mesilla and had lunch at D.H. Lescombes Winery & Bistro. Service awards were presented to members during lunch as well as our customary 50/50 drawings. A great time for all!
A big THANK YOU to all of you who participated and supported the Show and Shine benefit for the Salvation Army. There were some amazing rides and an excellent turnout. Thank you to Applebees for hosting and to Doppler Dave of KVIA-ABC7 for the plug on the evening broadcast, and to our DJ, Moises. Most importantly, money and toiletries were collected to aid the Salvation Army in their mission to provide for those in need. As you will notice there are some photos that are over-exposed due to an issue with our camera; so, if any of you have photos of the trophies presentation that you could share with us, please let us know so we can add them to this collection. You can email them to the CONTACT US email address. Congratulations to all of you who received a trophy and won the 50/50 and raffle items! Thank you, El Paso, for your participation and generosity to the Salvation Army. You rock!
