LECLAIRE, Iowa – The Mid-West Corvette Club is hosting “Vettes on the River – Vettes Supporting Vets” in LeClaire, Iowa. All money raised from the 2017 Vettes On The River event will be donated to Quad City veterans’ organizations.
The event is Saturday, August 26, 2017, on the LeClaire, Iowa Levee from 8am until 4pm. This year, they are also closing Wisconsin Street from Cody Road up to 4th Street to accommodate the extra cars they are expecting. Most cars should be in attendance by noon that day. A flag raising ceremony by Vietnam Veterans will take place at 11am to salute all veterans and active military.
Over 500 Corvettes from across the Midwest are expected to attend this event for a fun car show highlighting Corvettes old and new right along the Mighty Mississippi. If you own a Corvette, this is a great event to show fellow Corvette enthusiasts your “pride & joy” along the beautiful Mississippi River. There will be a LeClaire’s choice award and trophies for each “C” generation. Admission is FREE for spectators.
Enjoy shopping, dining, touring and all LeClaire has to offer while showing off or admiring the Corvettes.
