2024 Color Tour
For once, the weather gods smiled upon us for our color tour! It was a cool but sunny (and dry) day on October 12 for our annual color tour. We met at Fricano's on Alpine and then toured through Grant where we stopped at Nelson's Farm Market. After that we made our way to the White River Dam in Hesperia then on to Smuggler's at North Shore on Hess Lake near Newaygo where we had lunch.
2024 Red Barns Spectacular
Our August meeting was attending The Red Barns Spectacular at Gilmore Car Museum on August 3. Pictures taken by Dave Dykwell.
2024 Summer Picnic - 50th Anniversary Celebration
Just shy of 30 people attended the 50th Anniversary celebration of the West Michigan Corvair Club on July 20. It was held at Fallasburg Park in Lowell. Fallasburg Park was purposely picked as our first club picnic was held there in 1974. It was a very warm day so most of us just sat in the shade and socialized. A few did try their hand at cornhole however. The club provided most of the food, including a 50th Anniversary cake, and a few people brought some tasty side dishes. Even though he was not able to attend, Ryan Counterman did smoke some pork for us to enjoy along with some of his homemade sauces. Thank you, Ryan! We also welcomed Scott and Heather Olivier back from Tennessee! Below are a few pictures from the picnic (taken by Dave Ziebarth except where noted).
2024 All Air Cooled Show
The All Air Cooled Show was held on June 15 at Gilmore Car Museum.
2024 Spring Dust Off
Our Spring Dust Off was held on Saturday, May 11. We met the Detroit Area Corvair Club at the home of Torre Miller in Lansing. Thank you to Torre for hosting us and to Norm Witte for the pictures!
April Meeting
Our April meeting was held on April 6 at the TerryTown RV Classic Car Museum. WMCC member Jamie Reinhart helps maintain the collection and was able to get us access. We held both a board meeting and a brief membership meeting before viewing the collection of cars.
2024 Zoup Off

The annual Zoup Off was held on February 17 in the community room at Rockford Ambulance. We had twelve soups and seven desserts to judge. Dave & Marilyn Dykwell won both best soup and best dessert. A clean sweep! Our entertainment was a Pinewood Derby. The winner of the adult division was Matt Peterson and the winner of the youth division was Leo Zerilli. Thank you to John Cole for getting the track, setting it up, and running the event.

 The West Michigan Corvair Club is based in Grand Rapids, Michigan but we cover the western side of Michigan.  We are chapter #495 of the Corvair Society of America.
