American Flag of Corvettes: Registration Proceeds to go to Homes For Our Troops

Corvettes at Carlisle 2010: August 27-29 at the Carlisle PA Fairgrounds

Tuesday, August 03, 2010

Corvettes at Carlisle, the world’s largest and most prestigious event celebrating Corvettes, will once again celebrate the American Dream of owning a Corvette: August 27-29th at the Carlisle PA Fairgrounds in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. Corvettes at Carlisle will create an American Flag made entirely of Corvettes as a tribute to both the dream and the sports car. The display, first produced in 2008, will be even bigger and better in terms of amount of cars and the layout in 2010: 54 Corvettes bigger, for a total of 158 Corvettes - 57 red, 51 white, 35 blue and 15 silver. Half of the event registration fee for all of the 158 Corvettes participating will be donated to Homes for Our Troops, a national non-profit organization, committed to helping those who have selflessly given to their country and have returned home with serious disabilities and injuries.

Owners of red, white, blue and silver Corvettes can become a part of the American Flag Display by submitting their information on the Corvettes at Carlisle homepage at www.CarlisleEvents.com.
