In one week, Corvettes from every state and territory in Australia will be rolling into Parkes for the National Corvette Convention.
The NSW Corvette Car Club were one of seven recipients of round two of the Parkes Shire Council Events Financial Assistance Program to help their event thrive in Parkes.
The car club was awarded $5000 and this will help them purchase meals from local venues during their time in Parkes putting their money back into the local community.
"We were fortunate with our application to receive $5000 from Parkes Shire Council to help with our event," 2025 Corvette National Convention coordinator Harry Turner said.
The convention will see over 100 corvettes in town bringing around 190 people to the area.
