It was a tad dark when Damian left to pick up Hoges to head down to the 2025 Corvettes on the Bay car show as guests of the Queensland Corvette Club.
Arriving nice and early and parking where instructed, it looked like it was going to be a glorious day!
There's the bay... behind those trees and in front of the blue sky!
A bit later, Damian was asked to move Bluey to a new location, just a bit up from where he was originally, but in prime position on top of a grassy knoll... Luckily there was no book depository anywhere to be seen!
Corvettes continued to arrive...
First donation of the day - $50 courtesy of one of Hoges' neighbours...
There was a raffle being run...
And lots of trophies on offer!
Corvettes lined up in order from C1 (the first 'Vettes) through to C8 (the current models).
Thank you of course goes to the Queensland Corvette Club - long time supporters of Camp Quality (and of Damian's fundraising efforts too)!
Looking back down the line from the C8 end...
Damian felt that they really missed an opportunity here, with C8's lined up White, Red and Blue...
Of course, being US made vehicles, Red, White and Blue would have been more appropriate!
Plenty of sunshine and Corvettes, along with people wandering through to check out the cars!
This cracker was parked out on the street...
Bluey put in a special guest appearance...
Damian managed to grab a selfie, but unfortunately Hoges must have wandered off somewhere and missed out!
Later in the day a few clouds rolled in, making some Corvette owners a little nervous!
But nothing came of the clouds prior to leaving...
People lined up for the trophy presentation...
This one all tricked out like it was visiting a 50's drive-in theatre was a crowd favourite!
Poor old Hoges was a bit tuckered out, and had a kip.
Perfect opportunity for Damo to take a selfie!!
Hoges woke up shortly after that, when one of the closer Corvettes rumbled its big V8 engine into life!
Surprise of the day goes to Cricks Highway, who were attending the Queensland Corvette Club event for the first time. James Allen, the managing director, announced that Cricks Highway would be making a donation of $1000 towards both Camp Quality and Rosies (the other charity supported by the Qld Corvette Club).
A successful event was had! In addition to Cricks Highway pledging $1000, the Queensland Corvette Club pledged $500. On top of all that, in the donation tins was a fantastic
$209.75
Thanks to everyone who came along on the day to support Damo and Hoges' fundraising efforts!
