We had 17 member Corvettes in attendance and 4 others who are not members or were members to be at the Chuy’s Thursday Night Cruisin. Root beer floats were served and a good time was had by all on this very warm evening. We got there early enough to have a very nice spot with shade from a large tree. One of our members to be even brought along a gorgeous ZR1. Thank you very much to Donna and Danny for supplying the delicious root beer floats and to Lillian for helping to serve. We will do this again soon.

We had a fun day today at the Civil War re-enactment being held at Fort Tejon, 30 minutes south of Bakersfield. Several Corvettes of Bakersfield members made a last minute run through the Grapevine to the Fort established in the mid 1800s. As soon as we got out of our cars we were greeted by a tremendous explosion of a cannon booming in the distance. As we walked in, we were greeted by people dressed as pioneers and soldiers from the old days. Ask any one of them a question about the history and they would give you a detailed description of how life was in those old days and what parts they played. It was a very educational and fun trip and the weather couldn’t have been any better. It was a super nice 70° in the mountains and the green grass was gorgeous under the giant oak trees. I encourage anybody who is a history buff or whose kids are learning about the Civil War to attend one of these events. We had a great time.

It was a cold, dark and rainy day but 14 brave Corvette drivers took their cars out in the rain and met up with other members at the Seven Oaks Country Club southwest Bakersfield. We were fortunate enough to have room to dine in instead of eating out in the damp patio as was planned. We had an unusual weather pattern here in Bakersfield where, instead of having 90° weather in late May, we had a cool 65° with rain and hail. We enjoyed a fine meal with hamburgers and all the fixings and, also, enjoyed the camaraderie of our fellow Corvette members. After our meal and a few of photo ops, we drove to Riverwalk Park where a thousand American flags were displayed and blowing in the wind. With permission, we were able to drive up close to the lake and take individual pictures each members Corvette. We braved the cold wind and the rain and took some wonderful pictures of the Vettes with the American flags blowing in the background. We had a wonderful day on this Memorial Day weekend.

A great turnout for our COB/COB at the Links at Riverlakes Ranch. Service was quick and tasty. Discussions were about anything and everything. This is a nice get together happening every third Wednesday of the Month at The Links at Riverlakes Clubhouse at 5201 Riverlakes Drive. This event had it’s birth thanks to Danny Ellison’s suggestion and was originally held at the Panera on California Avenue. Thanks to the move to the Links at Riverlakes, we now have a full menu to choose from for breakfast. We hope to see more members and guests attend next month.
