Shenango Valley Corvette Club
Sharon, Pa.
In December of 1985, a group of fellow Corvette enthusiasts
came together to form the Shenango Valley Corvette Club.
The club has steadily grown in membership and currently
boasts over 100 members from Pennsylvania and Ohio.
Members come together from Sharon, Hermitage, Sharpsville,
Clark, Stoneboro, Greenville, New Castle, Conneaut Lake,
and West Middlesex, Pa. Ohio's members come from Brookfield,
Masury, Hubbard, Warren, Austintown, Girard, Niles,
Mineral Ridge, Newton Falls, and Cortland.
Shenango Valley Corvette club meets on the first Sunday
of each month at the Shenango Valley Chamber of Commerce
Founders Room in downtown Sharon, Pa. Along with the
members sharing their passion for Corvettes, the club
organizes and participates in many social and civic
events each year. Events include participating in community
parades, poker runs, weekly summer cruise-ins, out of
town car shows (such as Corvettes at Carlisle), dinners,
and picnics.
The Shenango valley corvettes club supports the Shenango
Valley Antique Automobile Association in sponsoring
the Corvette classes during their annual Father's Day
Car Show in Hermitage. Shenango Valley Corvette Club
was also a major contributor to the Mercer County Historical
Society in their purchase of the 1915, Sharon manufactured,
Twombly tandem cycle car.
Shenango Valley Corvette Club is an active member of
the Western Pennsylvania Corvette Club Council (WPCCC),
which consists of thirteen western Pennsylvania clubs
that join together for the camaraderie and love of their
cars, and have hosted the annual weekend event several
times.
Other events include two all Corvette cruise-ins, spring
and fall, at the Quaker Steak & Lube, Sharon. The
Shenango valley corvettes club also supports the downtown
Sharon merchants with their annual Rock 'n Roll Cruise
in August.
Each year the SVC club holds a holiday dinner and recognizes
the achievements and contributions of the members and
officers. A special award is given to the Shenango valley
corvettes club member who has accumulated the most miles
on his or her car during the season.
Shenango Valley Corvette Club is dedicated to supporting
many local charities including the Mercer County Children's
Aid Society, Hermitage Goodfellows, the American Cancer
Society, American Red Cross, and the Salvation Army
of both Mercer and Trumbull Counties. Donations to these
charities are funded by the Annual Spring Classic Dance
and Chinese Auction held annually in March at the Yankee
Lake Ballroom.
The Shenango Valley Corvette Club welcomes new members.
Membership forms can be obtained on-line at the web
site or from any club officer.
