Several months ago Ashara and I joined the Tacoma Corvette Club since we own a 2009 Corvette Coupe. This is Cydian, short for obsidian since she is black and beautiful. Yes, we name our cars...don't ask.
Ashara's Volvo is Edward. Guess who he is named after? Hint: think vampires.
For the past 13 years the Tacoma Corvette Club holds their annual "Shadow" event at the Enzian Inn, Leavenworth, WA. This event is fondly named "The Shadow" 'cuz the Enzian is very close to the mountains and when the sun dips below the mountains, well you get the idea.
This past weekend was the fourteenth annual event, and it was the first time we attended with the club. We visited with and got to know some of the club members better during the weekend since this is a close-knit bunch of Corvette enthusiasts. We really enjoyed the time around so many good people. There were attendees from other clubs including the British Columbia Corvette Club and a couple who drove their 'Vette from St. George, UT. They won the Long Distance award!
I think there were close to 85 Corvettes in the parking lot. Every model generation [C1 - C6] was represented at the event. The cars on display ranged from 1959 - 2011.
The 1959 Coupe
I volunteered to be the official event photographer and man, I was working it Friday afternoon and all day Saturday! Ashara helped me keep track of all the cars that were in the various classes being judged. We put two slideshows together for the Saturday night dinner and awards presentation. Well over 200 photos were displayed and we heard lots of positive feedback!
A 2004 Custom Corvette
As you can see this car won 5 awards, including: Best Paint, Best Engine, Best Interior, People's Choice and Best of Show. Clearly the favorite this year!
