On Saturday, November 8th, 2025, the morning fog couldn’t dim the pride in our hearts as 17 members in 15 Corvettes lined up to represent the Plateau Corvette Club in the Crossville Veterans Day Parade. With flags waving and engines rumbling, they rolled through town in tribute to the brave men and women who have served our great nation..
The Cumberland County Fair Queens had the honor of riding in the Veterans Parade in Crossville, TN! Thank you to the Plateau Corvette Club for being so kind and letting us ride in your beautiful cars! We’re so grateful for your generosity and for everyone who came out to honor our veterans.
This marks the fifth or sixth consecutive year our club has proudly participated in this meaningful event—each time with deep gratitude and unwavering respect for those who’ve served.
Most drivers were honored to be joined by either a Veteran or a member of the Ms. Senior Tennessee group—gracious ambassadors of service and strength. Over the past year, these remarkable women have raised over $22,000 to support and honor our Veterans, a testament to their patriotism and compassion.
One of our members had the distinct pleasure and honor of escorting Ms. Mary Conner, who served as Ms. Senior Cumberland County in 2012. Her grace, resilience, and lifelong dedication to community made her presence a true highlight of the day.
As the parade rolled past cheering crowds, it carried the spirit of freedom, the legacy of sacrifice, and the deep gratitude of a nation that never forgets.
To our Veterans: thank you for your service. To our passengers and guests: you made the day unforgettable. And to our members who showed up and participated—thank you. We truly appreciate you. Your presence made this tribute ride one to remember. And to all the spectators—thank you! Without you, there would be no parade. Your cheers, flags, and smiles made it all worthwhile.
Special thanks to:
