Korvettes for Kids Cruise Kicks Off in East Haven

Troopers welcome the public to stop in and donate a toy and see more than 150 classic cars. And yes, Santa will be there too!

On Saturday, Dec. 6, Christmas and classic cars pair up in a unique partnership.

Troop G of Bridgeport is participating in the 17th annual Korvettes for Kids Cruise in conjunction with Club Corvette of Connecticut.

At 11 a.m., troopers will meet Club Corvette of Connecticut and Santa at McDermott Chevrolet, 655 Main St., East Haven, and travel down I-95 to Troop G (149 Prospect St. in Bridgeport) where they will deliver the toys. The toys will be distributed to those in need throughout the Troop G patrol area.

Last year, 50 Corvettes delivered toys to Troop G. This year, they are hoping to add more Corvettes to the caravan, according to state police.

Anyone with a Corvette who is interested in participating may email lgbrowne@sbcglobal.net.
