About Us
Historical and General Information The St. Croix
Valley Corvette Association (SCVCA) was originally formed by a small
group of Corvette enthusiasts in 1973. The original members all lived in
the "valley" area around Stillwater, MN and shared an interest in
promoting and displaying their love for the unique Corvette automobile.
In the
beginning these young men simply drove their Corvettes to a meeting
place in the valley area to show off their Corvettes. The old logging "Boomsite"
area north of Stillwater was the initial meeting place. The first
president was Jerry O'Shea and the meetings were moved to the Stillwater
VFW Club. The VFW was the clubs-meeting place for some 20 years.
Today the
meetings for the SCVCA are held on the third Tuesday of each month
(except December) at 6:45pm at Cornerstone Chevrolet (formerly Stillwater Motors), which is located at
Hwy 36 and Co Rd 5. The SCVCA
welcome any inquires from interested
Corvette owners and invites them to attend any of our meetings or events
as a guest. This Association is non-sectarian, non-partisan, and
non-profit, and is not limited to any specific area. The general purpose
of the Association shall be for the preservation, restoration, and
enjoyment of America's only true sports car, and to further the
traditional and competitive aspect of Corvette ownership through club
and social activities.
The average
size of the SCVCA has been around 80 members. The SCVCA has taken
pride over the years in being a "family oriented" club, while also
providing interesting events for the adult members. Road tours followed
by lunches are a very popular outing for the SCVCA members and their
Corvettes. Such events are, attending Corvette swap meets and shows,
the Spring Run & Fall Color Run, mid-week runs and monthly Meet & Greet
dinners at area restaurants. Every year the SCVCA members participate in the
GMCCA car show and swap meet at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds in June.
In August we host a Corvette show at Cornerstone Chevrolet, our club
sponsor.
The SCVCA
takes pride in giving back the community by donating money to charitable
organizations such as food shelf programs, Make-a-Wish Foundation and
others.
