Horsepower at the Zoo

Capital City Corvette Club will not be hosting Horsepower at the Zoo in 2015.  It has been replaced by the Cruzin' for Kids / Blessings in a Backpack event in May.  Watch our event calendar for other new and exciting events scheduled to take place this year!

Horsepower at the Zoo was last hosted by the Capital City Corvette Club on September 22, 2013.  A check for $5,000 was presented to Sherri Graham, Executive Director of the Potter Park Zoo, at our November 6, 2013 General Membership meeting by Sandy Bechtel, event chair.
