Vets ‘n Vettes

Honoring Those Who Fought for Our Freedom
November 12th – November 14th, 2020
In 2008 we began a tradition of honoring our veterans with a new event, Vets ‘n Vettes. Thursday kicks off with a full day at the NCM Motorsports Park. Due to Covid restrictions participants will still be able to do a full day of touring at the NCM Motorsports Park but we will not be bringing in local veterans. Complimentary lunch served to all courtesy of Don Franklin Chevrolet! We will celebrate Friday and Saturday with road tours, a special Veteran’s Wave Parade, and lunch at the local VFW, the event offers veterans, servicemen and women and those who want to support them, a comfortable place to meet and share stories and experiences.
General registration for Vets ‘n Vettes is only $20
Online registration closes at 8:00am central time on Friday, October 30. There are no refunds for activities after online registration closes. All activities are open to Event Registrants only. On-line registrants will receive a hard card credential, lanyard, and event pin.
