On Friday May 8th, 2026 Les and Kelly Rhoades lead a caravan of fourteen colorful club corvettes an hour south of Crossville to Dayton Tennessee where we participated in the 79th annual Dayton Strawberry Festival. Red, White and Blue was the club theme for the day. I saw a lot of stars and stripes and some great 250th anniversary shirts.
In 1947 the first Tennessee Strawberry Festival started as a one-day festival sponsored by the Dayton City Lion’s Club. The event cruise-in director estimated that perhaps this year more than 400 vehicles were on display. As soon as we had our club cars parked, we then went to lunch at the Monkey Town Brewery. Nearly 100 vendor booths provided lot of shopping and items to eat and drink.
