Drive & Dine - April 2021

The first Drive and Dine of the season was a chilly one. The sky was overcast and kept the temperature in the 50’s. Seven Corvettes left the Kmart lot and cruised the back roads of McPherson county and found a few correction-line curves. Darwin and Nadine Henry were waiting at the Inman exit off Hwy 61 to join the group for the final destination. Lamont and Cindy Whitmore had the grill ready to serve burgers and pulled-pork sandwiches from their food truck. They were good to open their garage for warm indoor seating. The group enjoyed good food and good conversation. Thank you to the participating members; Sally Bond, Karen Ukens, Jack and Lora Martin, John Denney, Steve Bernard and Laurie Bortner, Greg and Kay Gordon, Darwin and Nadine Henry, and hosts Wayne and Marcia Strawder.

Drive & Dine - November 13, 2021

Thank you to Galen and Marilyn Seehafer for hosting the Drive & Dine to Fly Boys Brewery and Eats in Sylvan Grove, Saturday, November 13, 2021. It was a pretty drive through the back roads of post rock country. Fly Boys served great food in great time to the group of 22 and 13 Corvettes. Also, thanks to Greg and Kay Gordon for leading the pack.
