Tuesday November 22, 35 Plateau Corvette Club members in 23 cars got together for a Pre-Turkey Day Romp. The day was filled with fun times, big smiles and some beautiful Tennessee roads. We started the day spreading some “Get Well Soon Vibes” as we paraded by the houses of our three members who are all recovering from recent surgery. After the parade, we headed over to Gondola Pizza and Steak House where we enjoyed, conversation, laughter and a nice lunch together. Once we were finished with lunch, several in the group broke off and some of them headed to the hills for some back road Cruisin’ heading to Wooden’s Apple House for dessert.
