MOLINE, Ill. — Vettes on the River has been selected as the August recipient of Eriksen Chevrolet’s Three Degree Guarantee.

For each day of the month that the actual temperature is within three degrees of the forecasted high temperature, Vettes on the River will receive $20 from Eriksen Chevrolet in Milan, Illinois. Each night, the WQAD Storm Track 8 team will predict the next day’s high temperature. The forecasted temperatures are compared to the actual temperatures recorded by the National Weather Service.

Vettes on the River is an annual all-Corvette car show that benefits Quad Cities veterans’ organizations. Corvette owners from all over the nation travel to Le Claire, Iowa to connect with other drivers and show their support for local veterans. Since 2010, Vettes on the River has hosted anywhere from 20 to more than 200 Corvettes and welcomed donations to benefit local veterans. Last year, the organization donated $17,000 after the event. The 2024 Vettes on the River will be held on August 24, 2024.
