Thursday, February 15th, nine of our club members in 5 Corvettes met together under beautiful sunny skies in Monterey for their group adventure through the scenic heart of Tennessee and Kentucky, enroute to their lunch destination at the Lighthouse Restaurant, in historic Sulphur Well, Kentucky. Once they entered Kentucky, they headed for a planned out detour spot – the Old Mulkey Meeting House State Historic Site. It’s the oldest freestanding log church (“meeting house”) in Kentucky, built in 1804 a during a period of religious revival. For lunch, they headed to their destination, The Lighthouse Restaurant – a beacon of good taste!

Thanks to Roger and Kathy for leading and the photos.

Valentine’s Day 2024 began for 24 of our members in 12 Corvettes meeting together at the Brass Lantern and headed out for an easy, short scenic route, along backroads of Cumberland County enroute to Fortes’ Restaurant for our Annual Valentine’s Day Drive N Dine. Members who weren’t able to meet up at the Brass Lantern joined the group at Fortes. 42 Plateau Corvette Club members took advantage of the beautiful day to wine and dine together with our sweethearts and fellow Plateau Corvette Club Members.

A very special “THANK YOU” to John & Reggie, not only for their hard work in planning, organizing and leading this event, but a big thanks for the beautiful roses they surprised our ladies with!

Thanks to Kathy and John for the Photos!

If you missed Thursdays club ride, you missed a great poker run and lunch adventure. They started in Crossville and ventured South on the wonderful twisting route 30 to Spencer and then continued on more scenic roads to Manchester. They ate a fantastic home cooked lunch at the Mercantile Cafe. This restaurant was featured on the television show “Tennessee Crossroads”.
After lunch they finished the poker game while visiting the Old Stone Fort State Park. Our new club member Stephen was the winner. There is some great Tennessee history at the park and some great walking trails to explore and see some waterfalls. See you on the next adventure.

Thanks to Les and Kelly for leading and the photos!!

February 2nd several Plateau Corvette Club members braved the cold and took a run to the mountains to chase the Dragon. Later they stopped at the Tapoco Lodge for lunch in North Carolina. The weather was good all along the ride, mid 50’s, no rain.

Thanks to Jerry and Marsha for leading the way!! Thanks to Kathy and Les for the photos!!

On Thursday, January 11th, 2024 under bright sunny skies (and temperatures that topped off at 58 degrees – warm enough for “top down” of course) 14 members and guests gathered together to kick off our 2024 driving season with a scenic, curvy Tennessee “back roads drive” to the restaurant at Fall Creek Falls for lunch. The ride included scenic stops at both the boat ramp overlook at Center Hill Dam and a stop at Rock Island’s Great Falls where we viewed both the Great Falls and the Twin Falls

Thanks to Roger and Jennifer for leading and A BIG THANK YOU TO OUR PICTURE TAKERS: John, Bill & Jeanie and our daughter Jennifer.

Members gathered on Tuesday, December 19th to take part in one of our “coolest” rides ever (as in temperature) – leave time was so cold we didn’t get out of the cars for a driver’s meeting and we took our group shot from the cars!!!

We stopped and dropped one of our annual charity checks to Hilltoppers (they were very thankful and excited to be one of our “charity recipients” for this year!)  

Then our group headed down to Monkeytown Brewing Company in Dayton for a delicious lunch which was enjoyed by all.  Afterwards, we enjoyed the thrill of some curvy scenic Tennessee backroads, stopping for ice cream at McDonalds on the way back home.  It was a fun day spreading holiday cheer, sharing good times and creating wonderful memories together!

Thanks to Roger and Kathy for leading and the photos!!

The Plateau Corvette Club made their year end donations to three organizations for 2023. Fair Park Senior Center, Hilltoppers Inc. and Major Mike Shipley Spay & Neuter Clinic.

Thanks to Lee and Laurie for leading the donation committee.

Fair Park Senior Centers mission is to create a unique environment for the senior community to come together.

Hilltoppers mission is to promote each person’s identity, affiliation, attainment, safeguards, rights, health and wellness.

Dr. Cathy Gates was unable to be in the photo as she was performing surgery.

December 16th Plateau Corvette Club members participated in the National Wreaths Across America Day by attending the ceremony at the Cookeville Courthouse and then traveling to Crestlawn Cemetery where they volunteered to lay wreaths on Veteran’s graves. During this process, they were asked and encouraged to say the name of the Veteran aloud as they placed the wreath on his or her grave, thank them for their service and sacrifice, and lastly, to reflect on that person and their life. It was truly an emotional experience.

REMEMBER the Fallen. . . HONOR those who Serve. . . TEACH our children the value of Freedom.

Thanks to Roger and Kathy for leading and Mike (Murf) for suggesting the event

Saturday December 16, several Plateau Corvette Club members participated in the 2023 Downtown Crossville Christmas Parade
