By tradition, the club has taken a group photo
every five years, since 1989; 2014 being our 40th Anniversary (a
major milestone) we are planning another one.
To prepare for this event, we need to find a good location;
preferably somewhere that gives us a different group photo than
we have previously enjoyed. As you are driving around,
keep your eyes out for such a location - we need your
assistance!!!
If you have any suggestions, questions, etc, please contact

FAQ |
How was the date selected:
Based off the
response from the initial inquiry that
Doug sent out. Both venues ended
up only being available for Sunday
dates. Based on responses, we had
8 more Vettes and 12 more members
available on 3/23 than on 3/9; so the
date of 3/23 was selected. We do
realize that some were not available on
this date; the committee did the best
they could to accommodate the most
members.
How will the
'74 and '14 be selected?
Our
preference is to find Vettes with
matching colors.
To be fair,
if we do not end up with a '74 & '14 in
the same color, each owner will be
drawing card, high card wins.
Currently we only have one 1974 Corvette
that we are aware of.
How are the Vettes going to be arranged?
final arrangement is still being worked
on / undecided at this time - we are
looking for something different than the
previous shoots. Is it first
come first in line in the grouping?
NO. They will be arranged by
color regardless of the rest of the
arrangement ...i.e. not red beside a
red, blue by blue, etc. so it is
important to provide your Vette(s)
information.
We will have all
known (signed-up) Vettes pre-positioned
before the shoot. We will use the
FRS radios to call up Vettes from the
staging area. Anyone that just
shows up (without providing their info)
will be placed in the grouping as the
layout permits.
Do we
have to have a Blue Anniversary Shirt to
participate? No, we would
request that you wear a shirt of the
same approximate blue color if at all
possible.
Do we
have to have a Corvette to participate?
No, for varying reasons,
some have new ones on order, some are
torn down for the winter, etc. We
would like you in the photo regardless
if your Corvette is or not.
if you have other questions, please
eMail Doug

The Photo As Taken |
The Modified Verision |
|
|
The 40th Committee wanted this
milestone's photo to represented
Cowtown and Ft Worth, TX.
So the Stockyards background was
their request. The
holograms at the bottom of the
photo represent old Ft Worth,
historic buildings and some
modern buildings in the
background.
