Ten corvettes and sixteen people participated in a cruise on "Thunder Road" sponsored by Denny and Connie P in October to the Playa Azule restaurant in Augusta. After dinner they cruised to Freddy's Frozen Custard for dessert. All who participted had a great time - thanks Denny and Connie!

Thanks also go out to Kathy and Ron W who came up with an impromptu cruise for November that ended up with a great crowd (and good weather). Some even went downtown, near the Indian Center and Exploration Place to watch them light the "fire pots".
