A beautiful day for the first ride of the year! A group of us rode to Driftless Glen Distillery today for a tour and tasting. We appreciated the special treatment from Justin and the team...it was a great experience!

We’re excited to announce that there will be 100 special-edition bottles available for our 2026 Trip Around the Lake on June 7th. Proceeds from the bottles will benefit the Fond du Lac Police Department K-9 Unit.

Salvation Army Food Bank Coordinator, Millie Summers received a check for $2305 from Pat Schnettler, Fond de Vettes Corvette Club treasurer, and Kurt Lorenzen, club member and Food
Bank volunteer.

The money was raised through donations from the participants in this year’s Trip Around The Lake.

The Trip Around The Lake is held every year on the first Sunday in June.

Over 290 Corvettes from around Wisconsin and neighboring states gathered at Holiday Automotive for the annual cruise around Lake Winnebago.

After a scenic drive around the lake, they returned to Holiday for music, food and fellowship.

There is no fee to participate in the cruise, but donations are requested for the food bank.

Only Corvettes are welcome on the cruise, but everyone is welcome to enjoy the party and some great
cars at Holiday Automotive.

Beautiful day for Corvettes. We started the day hosted by Mike Shannon at his "garage", with some great music. Then we headed to Classic Mechanics for a personal tour of their fantastic facility. Lunch was a must at Pullman's in Appleton. We had superb food and service. Then music outside (after the rain) at Zieglers! Wonderful day organized by our president and 1st lady, Jim and Kathy.
