The 3 Rivers Corvette Club of the Tri-Cities has staged the largest Corvette car show in the Pacific Northwest for the past 16 years, with corporate sponsorship from the McCurley dealerships and other local businesses. This year’s event will be held from Sept. 10 to 12 in Kennewick. The Saturday Show & Shine in Columbia Park is free to the public.
The purpose of the show is fundraising for the Make-A-Wish Foundation. The annual event has raised nearly $1.6 million since it began, and those proceeds have provided wishes for 250 sick children and their families.
Corvettes will be coming to the Tri-Cities from nine states for the show — mostly owned by members of Corvette clubs, although you do not have to be a club member or own a “show” car to participate. Corvette owners will meet for dinner on Friday and Saturday nights at the Three Rivers Convention Center.
On Saturday, the Corvettes arrive in the park at 8 a.m., and the Show & Shine begins at 9 and concludes at 2 p.m. There’ll be food vendors, raffles, a Corvette “store” and much more.
