TO MSCC MEMBERS,
I want to thank everyone for all the help and the time that you gave to make the 14th Annual Vettes At The Beach such a huge success. The way everyone worked together and pitched in, wherever they were needed, is so appreciated. There is so much work that goes into our show and it would not be possible without everyone’s help.
Our show has a great reputation among Corvette enthusiasts. This year we had participants from Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, Minnesota, Mississippi, North Carolina, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and WashingtonState. As well as local visitors from Pensacola, Gulf Breeze, Fort Walton Beach, Destin and Sandestin Beach.
“Vettes At The Beach” had over 250 Corvettes and 34 Corvette Clubs that participated in the show. There were 15 different states that were represented. Our show brought in over 475 visitors who stayed on PensacolaBeach and that doesn’t include the locals who came to CasinoBeach to see our Corvette Car Show. “Vettes At The Beach” brings a substantial number of Visitors to PensacolaBeach which greatly impacts the tourism dollars that our club generates for the Hotels, Restaurants and Shops.
We had a TOTAL OF 391 Rooms at the Local Hotels
Hilton:190 Room Nights
Hampton Inn:108 Room Nights
Holiday Inn:28 Room Nights
Margaritaville:22 Room Nights
Other Beach Hotels:43 Room Nights
We are looking forward to the 15th Annual Vettes “At The Beach” on September 8 and 9, 2017. So mark your calendars. And Everyone, be proud of the great show that the Miracle Strip Corvette Club puts on, and most importantly how great it is that we are all working together as a club and as more importantly as friends, to make this the wonderful show that it is.
