Suburban Corvettes of Minnesota Sponsored Events

Spina Bifida Picnic

Suburban Corvettes of Minnesota members share their wheels with kids who live on theirs

Every September the Suburban Corvettes of Minnesota (SCM) teams up with the New Brighton / Mounds View Rotary Club providing games, prizes, and rides for families with Spina Bifida at the Minnesota Spina Bifida Association annual picnic. 

The event starts each year with games for the kids provided but the Rotary Club and staffed by local Irondale High School students including at least one FCOA member.  Rotary conducts a drawing for prizes; die cast Corvettes are a favorite.

After a BBQ lunch for all provided by the Spina Bifida Association and taking a few minutes to check out the Vettes, it’s TM2CRUZ (time to cruise) as kids with Spina Bifida, their brothers, sisters, and parents line up for a ride.

SCM conducts several raffles annually and donates a percentage of event profits to camp scholarships and equipment upgrades for Spina Bifida families.

The next time you’re rolling through Minnesota and pass a minivan with a handicap plate, don’t be surprised if the kid in the back seat gives you a thumbs up.

Cars Under the Stars

Cars Under the Stars is a car show open to Corvettes and all other cars.

The 2010 show was the twentieth anniversary of the Cars Under the Stars.

The Cars Under the Stars car show with our club's new sponsor, Village Chevrolet, on the evening of August 14th was a success! We registered 50 Corvettes and 45 non-Corvettes. The Best in Show trophy was earned by Tim Cossette and his 1963 Corvette. Congratulations to Tim and our twenty other trophy winners.

Many compliments were heard from the attendees, and the weather was beautiful until the last half hour when showers broke up our raffle and trophy presentations, forcing us to crowd inside. The food grilled on-site by Village Meats & Deli was delicious and the music and trivia questions by Chuck Brost of Tunes to Go kept us dancing and guessing.

We are grateful to Grant Osgood, general manager of Village Chevrolet, and his staff for all their support. Also thank you to our other show co-sponsors: Corvette Specialties, Corvette International Inc., Opportunity Partners, and LeRoy's Customs.

Finally, a big thank you to all of our volunteers from the club; without you, we couldn't have had this delightful gathering of car aficionados.

See you at the 2011 show!
