The festival offered hayrides, live music, a petting zoo, and other family-friendly activities for those who stayed to explore.


It was a relaxed and enjoyable day shared among friends — with good food, great company, and the unmistakable camaraderie of the Gulf Coast Corvette Club.

Loaded Cannon Distillery - June 29, 2025

 It was a great day for our Gulf Coast Corvette Club cruise to Loaded Cannon Distillery! We met up at Beef ‘O’ Brady’s in Lakewood Ranch before setting out on our drive.


RJ led us on a scenic and relaxed route through North Manatee County, even crossing briefly into Hillsborough County. The winding backroads made for a beautiful cruise, with plenty of countryside views and a eye-catching line of Corvettes along the way.


Our destination was Loaded Cannon Distillery, where members enjoyed a guided tour and learned how handcrafted spirits are made. The distillery staff shared interesting insights about their small-batch process, and several members picked up a bottle or two to take home!


The adventure didn’t end there — as we made our way to Miller’s Ale House in Heritage Harbour for lunch, the skies opened up with a downpour, giving our Corvettes a well-needed rinse. Despite the rain, everyone arrived safely and enjoyed good food, laughter, and camaraderie to close out another memorable GCCC event.


Thank you to everyone who joined us, and a big thanks to RJ for leading such an enjoyable cruise!

Country Cruise Recap – March 29, 2025

Seven Corvettes, open roads, and BBQ waiting at the finish line

 We had another great Corvette cruise on March 29, starting from The Goddard School in Lakewood Ranch and winding our way through some scenic backroads of eastern Sarasota County. With seven Corvettes in the lineup, it was a smaller group, but the open roads, light traffic, and relaxed pace made it a perfect spring drive.


Our route featured peaceful country scenery and a few long, open stretches that gave everyone a chance to enjoy their ride. We wrapped things up with a laid-back lunch at Stottlemyer’s Smokehouse, a rustic and lively spot known for its Tiki-style atmosphere and hearty BBQ.

Thanks to everyone who came out—we’re looking forward to the next one!
