“Vettes on the Square” returns to Hood County Saturday, Oct. 12. The annual event, celebrating 18 years, will take place from 9 a.m. until about 3 p.m. in the Hood County Courthouse parking lot.
The event is hosted by the Brazos River Corvette Club, which was founded in 2003 for Corvette enthusiasts in the Brazos River area.
The BRCC “Vettes On The Square” has become one of the more predominant car shows of its kind, requiring the volunteer work of more than 100 BRCC members before, during, and after the show.
In 2023, more than 100 Corvettes from four states signed up and showed off their love of Corvettes.
For the fourth year, BRCC “Vettes On The Square” show chairman Theresa Halford has worked diligently on the project bringing both club members and fans of the Corvette together while supporting a cause.
An average of $10k per year has been donated from the club to local charities such as the area Volunteer Fire Departments, the Habitat for Humanity, People Helping People, Ruth’s Place, and many others over the years.
Club members chose Mission Granbury as the charity that would receive the funds from the car show this year. Mission Granbury offers nine interrelated social service programs to Hood and surrounding counties for those in need or in crisis. Services include a women and children’s shelter, veteran’s assistance, senior care, and non-residential victim services as well as a food pantry, help with bills, medication, emergency shelter, and other needs.
