VETTES ON THE ROCKIES COMMENTS FROM OUR GUESTS

 

This was our first year for VOTR and we really enjoyed the weekend.  Thanks to all of the fifty eight that spent a lot of time preparing and executing the event.  We have an idea of all the time involved because last July 2005 our club (Suburban Corvettes of Minnesota) hosted the NCCC national convention in St Cloud, MN.

 

Thanks,

David Lindgren

I would like to congratulate you on a primo, class act, 3 day event.  I did not participate in either the Rally or Funkana, as I was a single without a navigator.  I traveled from San Diego with two of my fellow club members (3 cars), one of whom did the Rally.  He said it was the best ride he has been on, as the roads traveled were great, beautiful scenery, and you couldn't have asked for a better day.  I did manage to reap the benefits of the great meals/dessert provided.  What a layout of good food.  My compliments.

     Outstanding job by all LGCA members.  This was our first VOTR event with you, but won’t be our last.  For years I’ve sat and listened to the great stories told by our members upon return.  This year I’m the one doing all the talking, and recruiting!

     Seeing hundreds of Corvettes from all over the map was fun, but what struck me the most was the attitude of the LGCA members I talked with.   Each was out-going, friendly and sincerely wanted our stay to be the best possible.   The event workers smiled until the end (we’ve all done this duty, and it wears thin after about an hour!)  I cannot say enough good about your membership.   What a team.   Be proud….many clubs do not share this “can-do” attitude and teamwork.

     The rally was fun.  Being from New Mexico, just seeing trees and water was a thrill, but a few hours driving through your mountains was a true pleasure.  What a wonderful playground you have.  I’m thinking of moving to Denver just to be in your club and cruise the mountains!

     Great food, great people, well organized and a very special 3 days for my wife and I.  I’m sure this message is just a repeat of hundreds of others saying the same thing.  Whatever it is that you guys do…keep doing it.  The featured guests were tremendous, and all speakers representing your club were well spoken.

     Thank you all again for a well planned, fun weekend.

     Just got home from the event....WOW....what a great time.  We traveled with three other couples and had a wonderful time.   Your group deserves a big pat on the back for the outstanding job they did with every aspect of this event.

     Thanks again,

     I know that there were several of our members from Vegas Vettes represented at your event.  What I really wanted to say is how awesome we think that Looking Glass Corvettes members are!   I am amazed each time that we go to our mailbox and find another LGCA registration (20 to-date) there for the Corvette Roulette event!  I just checked out your web site and found that "Reflections" has a flier as well for Corvette Roulette!  You people are great, now we can only hope to provide as great of a show as we have found at Vettes On The Rockies!  VOTR has been a great inspiration for us to start Corvette Roulette.  We think that you will all be pleasantly surprised!

     Thanks again, we look forward to being your hosts this time!

Looking Glass Corvette Club Officers & Members,
     I want to send a short note regarding last weekends "Vettes On The Rockies" car show held in Frisco, Colorado.  This was the first time my wife and I have attended an event sponsored by your club.   Both of us sincerely appreciated how well organized the event was.  I was especially impressed with the respect given to local churches as they conducted Sunday morning services.  Club members and participants alike demonstrated maturity and quality just as the Corvettes they drive.   As Corvette owners my wife and I want to congratulate you and express our sincere thanks for a job well done.
 
Sincerely,
Chuck & Ann Kats
Loveland, Colorado

     I honestly can't say enough about what a great trip and car show event it was.  Of course the Rocky Mountains make for a great backdrop but it is your Club members' attention and good spirits that make it so successful.  All the little details and special amenities make us feel truly welcome and appreciated.  Everything was managed well and not overdone. 

     We love staying at the Beaver Run Resort, not only for its ambience and proximity to everything but also for the covered parking and washing areas.  The Looking Glass Club certainly knows how to put on a successful and enjoyable car show, from those attendees who participate in everything to those who pick maybe one event.  It's a great vacation either way and a great way to celebrate our Corvettes.  Our Club could greatly benefit by incorporating some of your strategies into our annual Classic car show. 

     The Lone Star Corvette Club brought nine cars this year and everyone of us are already planning a return visit, hopefully with even more cars.  Again, I congratulate you and thank you for a wonderful event and look forward to our next Vettes on the Rockies car show.

=========================================================================================     You guys did a perfect job!  The best part was at the end when we left the show and got high fives from your club. That meant allot to use and it showed your appreciation.

     I hope to see some of you at Eureka this year! Thanks again for the hard work.

     Wanted to thank you and your club again for the great time Dixie and I had at VOTR.  Enjoyed all the events, the lodging, the food, and all of the great Vette folks.  Hope to see you all again next year.  Thanks.

Looking Glass Corvette Association,
     I just wanted to drop ya’ll a note and say thank you for the good time we had at VOTR-2006.  Everyone is to be commended for their gracious hosting.  We hope to be invited back again next year.  The whole Arkansas contingent had a blast.  The weather was good and the air clear and clean.  Hope some of you can come to Hot Springs, AR in April, 2007 for our show.

My wife & I would like to thank you for the wonderful time we had at VOTR 2006… while this was the first time any of us from Cowtown Vettes had attended your event, we did have a great time.  We wanted to share a few pictures we took at the event as well as along the way from Ft Worth, TX. - you'll find the event linked off our home page, listed below.

 

SUMMIT COUNTY ROTARY CLUB CORVETTE AUCTION AT VOTR

   This car belonged to Len and Prue Garrity of LGCA.  It was purchased by the  Summit County Rotary Club as the annual raffle car to support their local scholarship.  The story goes that they looked at three other cars from Grand Junction to Ft. Lupton to purchase the perfect car for their raffle and once they found ours at Purifoy they bought it immediately.  We were told that they plan to sell 3,000 tickets and the profits would go to the scholarship fund.   This just warmed the cockles of our hearts to know that our labors of love with our “old” car paid off in this manner!  Enjoy this beauty – whoever wins it!
