At 4 p.m., local Corvette owners will have the opportunity to show off their rides in the parking lot across from Big Sandy’s Superstore. This display will allow attendees to have a close-up look at the vehicles.

Local Corvette owners are encouraged to participate by joining the cruise and displaying their vehicles.

Options for entertainment and dining will be from 4 to 9 p.m. Participants can dine with the caravan at local restaurants, bars, ice cream parlors and food trucks. The Fault Line Band will perform in the beer garden from 4:30 to 8:30 p.m.
